Power Apps
Bespoke Power Apps Development for Enterprise
Commissioned enterprise application development using canvas and model-driven apps with Dataverse, role-based security and system integrations - built for organisations that need more than off-the-shelf software.
The Challenge
Problems this service addresses
Off-the-Shelf Gaps
Commercial applications do not fit specific operational processes, forcing teams to adapt their work to the software rather than the other way round.
Ungoverned Apps
Departments build their own Power Apps without central oversight, creating unsupported, insecure applications with no ALM process.
No Integration
Applications are built in isolation, unable to read or write data from the enterprise systems they need to work with.
Poor Security Design
Apps lack role-based security, exposing sensitive data to users who should not have access.
No Testing or Deployment Process
Applications are moved to production manually with no testing, version control or rollback capability.
Unmaintainable Solutions
Apps built without documentation or standards become difficult to maintain when the original builder moves on.

Technical Capabilities
What we deliver
Engagement Scenarios
Typical situations we address
Operational Tracking Application
A team needs a custom application to track operational activities with role-based access, reporting and integration with enterprise data.
Field Data Collection
Field teams need a mobile application for data collection with offline capability and synchronisation to central systems.

Integration
Integration considerations
Governance & Security
Governance and security considerations
Role-Based Security
Security roles and row-level permissions configured to ensure users only access data appropriate to their role and responsibilities.
ALM and Solution Management
Applications packaged as managed solutions with automated deployment from development through test to production environments.
Testing
Test plans covering functional, integration and user acceptance testing before production deployment.
Documentation
Technical and user documentation ensuring the application can be maintained and supported beyond the initial engagement.
