Power Platform
Microsoft Power Platform Consultancy for Enterprise
Architecture, governance and delivery for Power Apps, Power Automate and Dataverse - designed for organisations that need to scale automation securely within regulated environments.
The Challenge
Problems this service addresses
Ungoverned Sprawl
Teams build Power Apps and flows without central oversight, creating security gaps, duplicated effort and unsupported applications.
No Environment Strategy
Without a clear environment strategy, development, testing and production workloads are difficult to separate and manage.
Integration Silos
Power Platform solutions fail to integrate with existing enterprise systems, creating new data silos rather than connecting the estate.
Security and Compliance Gaps
Data loss prevention policies, connector governance and role-based access are not configured to meet regulatory requirements.
No ALM Process
Applications are moved between environments manually, with no proper testing, version control or rollback capability.
Skills Shortage
Internal teams lack the specialist Power Platform expertise needed to deliver enterprise-grade solutions.
Business Outcomes
What you can expect
A coherent Power Platform environment strategy aligned to security and compliance requirements
Governed application lifecycle management from development through to production
Data loss prevention policies and connector governance that protect sensitive information
Automation that integrates with existing enterprise systems rather than creating silos
A Centre of Excellence approach that enables teams to build responsibly at scale
Clear ownership, support model and documentation for delivered solutions
Technical Capabilities
What we deliver
Engagement Scenarios
Typical situations we address
Establishing a Centre of Excellence
An organisation adopting Power Platform needs governance, standards and a structured approach to enable teams to build responsibly.
Scaling Automation Safely
Teams have started using Power Automate informally and need governance, DLP policies and an environment strategy to scale safely.
Replacing Legacy Applications
Legacy business applications need to be replaced with modern, maintainable Power Apps solutions integrated with enterprise systems.
Enterprise Process Automation
Complex, multi-step business processes require orchestration across Microsoft 365, Dataverse and external systems using Power Automate.
Integration
Integration considerations
Governance & Security
Governance and security considerations
Environment Strategy
Structured environments for development, test and production with clear purpose, security boundaries and DLP policies per environment.
Data Loss Prevention
DLP policies configured to classify connectors as business, non-business or blocked, preventing data exfiltration through unapproved channels.
Role-Based Access
Security roles and Azure AD group-based access to ensure users only see and interact with data appropriate to their role.
ALM and Solution Management
Managed solutions, source control integration and automated deployment pipelines to ensure consistent, testable releases.
Power Automate Consultancy
Power Automate is a core part of our Power Platform Consultancy service. We help organisations use Power Automate to orchestrate business processes across Microsoft 365, Dataverse and external systems.
Power Automate capabilities we deliver
- Automated cloud flows triggered by events in Microsoft 365, Dataverse or external systems
- Approval workflows with multi-stage, parallel and conditional approval patterns
- Scheduled flows for batch processing and data synchronisation
- Business process flows guiding users through structured processes in model-driven apps
- Custom connector development for integration with external APIs
- Error handling, retry logic and monitoring for production-grade automation
When to consider Power Automate
Power Automate is well-suited to automating processes within the Microsoft ecosystem - particularly when those processes involve Microsoft 365 services, Dataverse, or systems that expose APIs compatible with Power Platform connectors.
For organisations with existing Nintex K2 estates, Power Automate may be a migration target but is not automatically the right choice. We help organisations assess whether Power Automate, an upgraded K2 environment, or a hybrid approach best fits their requirements. See our comparison of Nintex K2 and Power Automate for more detail.
