Quantify ROI for Cloud Flows with New Savings in Power Automate
Heidi Neuhauser demos a new Power Automate feature, Quantify time and money savings delivered by automations.
Key Takeaways
- Savings in Power Automate: This feature introduces Savings, which lets you quantify ROI for cloud flows. It uses two concepts: a saving rule attached to the flow and the savings value (time or money units) generated by that rule.
- Savings rules: First, set up a savings rule to define whether the savings are time-based or money-based. A dashboard in the Power Platform Admin Center tracks these savings over time, but it only works for solution-based flows and counts successful runs. Note that it isn’t supported in Dataverse for Teams environments.
- In action: To enable Savings in Power Automate, click the new option in the flow settings. After activation, define a time or money saving rule, and from then on, each flow run automatically calculates the specified savings.
- Impact: In closing, Heidi adds that this is a promising feature because it gives users measurable metrics to show leadership the real-world impact of your automations.
