The main goal of this thesis is to develop an internal application for the manegement of abssence requests for employees. The thesis first presents the theoretical background, including Power Platform tools, analysis of the design document, the underlying data structure in Dataverse with data integration from Microsoft Dynamics 365 and the identification of components requiring pro-code extensions. Practical part of this thesis describes in detail the process of development and implementation of this application, as well as the versioning and automated deployment process using Azure DevOps. The output is a functional application, which is compared with the original design document. The evaluation concludes on achieved benefits of improving the absence request process, discussess necessary compromises made, practical advantages and disadvantages of using Microsoft Power Platform during development and specific limitations of the low-code approach. This work therefore provides a comprehesince view of the development and evalution of a specific business solution.
