Power Platform
Power Automate and Power Apps built under an environment strategy IT can live with.
Assessment + implementation. A tenant review where flows already exist. Architecture, build and governance from there.
IT and platform owners, and the business teams already building in Power Platform whether or not anyone approved it.
Flows are running under a personal account, the default environment has become production, or a licensing bill arrived that nobody predicted.
The practice
Tenant assessment
What has been built, by whom, in which environment, on which connectors — and which of it is load-bearing for a process the business depends on.
Environment and DLP architecture
Development, test and production environments, connector policy that separates business data from everything else, and a default environment that stops being where production lives.
Power Automate
Cloud flows for orchestration and approvals, with error handling, retry and a run history somebody monitors rather than a flow that quietly stopped in March.
Power Apps
Canvas and model-driven apps for the step a person still takes: an exception queue, a review screen, a form that writes to the system of record.
Dataverse modelling
Tables, relationships and security roles where the data deserves a real model — and an honest answer about when a SharePoint list is enough.
Solution ALM
Managed solutions, pipelines and source control, so a change is promoted rather than rebuilt by hand in production.
Licensing review
Premium connectors, per-user against per-flow, and capacity. The cheap build that turns into a permanent bill is almost always a licensing decision nobody modelled.
Governance and a centre of excellence
Ownership, naming, review and the guardrails that let citizen development continue without becoming an unmanaged estate.
Enablement
Teaching your builders the patterns — error handling, reusable components, environments — so what they make next does not need rescuing.
Most tenants are on the first rung and calling it a platform.
None of this is wrong on day one. It becomes wrong when a business process depends on it and the person who built it has changed jobs.
- 01Default environment
Everything in one place, built by whoever needed it, owned by a personal account, with no line between experiment and production.
- 02Environments and DLP
Development, test and production separated, connector policy set with the business rather than handed down.
- 03Solutions and ALM
Managed solutions, pipelines and source control, so a change is promoted rather than rebuilt by hand in production.
- 04Governed and enabled
Ownership, naming, review and monitoring — and builders who know the patterns, so what they make next does not need rescuing.
We review the tenant, design the environment and connector policy, build the apps and flows, model the data where Dataverse earns it, and put solution ALM and licensing discipline around all of it.
The default environment is not production
It is where everything lands when nobody has decided otherwise: no separation between experiment and production, no DLP boundary worth the name, and no way to promote a change without editing the live thing. An environment strategy is the first structural fix, and it is usually the cheapest one.
Connector policy is a security control, not paperwork
DLP policy in Power Platform decides which connectors can sit in the same flow — which is what keeps a SQL connector out of a flow that also posts to Twitter. Set too loosely, it is decoration. Set without consultation, it blocks half the business and gets bypassed. Getting that boundary right is a conversation between IT and the people building, not a policy handed down.
Dataverse or a SharePoint list
Dataverse gives you a real data model, security roles and relationships, and it costs accordingly. A SharePoint list handles more than people expect until it suddenly does not — at concurrency, at volume, or the first time you need row-level security. We make that call on the data, not the licensing preference, and we say when the cheaper answer is the right one.
ALM, so a change is promoted rather than rebuilt
Managed solutions, pipelines and source control turn a Power Platform estate into something that can be changed safely. Without them, every fix is applied directly to production by hand, and the test environment is wherever the user noticed the bug.
