Strategy

Governance Framework & CoE Setup

A solid governance model is the difference between a few good apps and an enterprise-ready low-code capability. We design your Power Platform operating model; environments, policies, and processes. We establish a Center of Excellence (CoE) that provides templates, telemetry, and standards from day one. You’ll get a pragmatic governance framework that supports both maker developers and pro-devs, with clear ownership, guardrails, and decision paths.

Beyond the blueprint, we help you embed governance in daily work: intake and prioritisation, solution lifecycle, and quality gates. Expect tangible outcomes; dashboards for platform health, a reusable app/flow catalogue, and a roadmap aligned to your business strategy. Your innovation scales without chaos.

Automation

Security

We translate security requirements into practical controls: Dataverse security roles that map to job functions, DLP policies for risky connectors, and data classification that keeps sensitive information where it belongs. Our approach addresses compliance risks up front (PII handling, auditability, and retention) so teams can move quickly while staying inside the lines.

Compliance

For data-heavy scenarios, we add guidance on dataflows and dataflow management, data processing agreements, and data anonymisation patterns for non-production environments. The result is a governance model that satisfies your CISO and enables your makers, with no trade-off between speed and security.

Inspire

Rollout

Successful low-code programs don’t “launch”, they roll out with intent. We shape your Power Apps rollout strategy, including environment strategy by business unit, project scoping, and maker enablement. Fusion teams get a clear playbook: business analysis up front, product ownership throughout delivery, and mentoring that removes blockers fast.

Adoption

We back adoption with measurable support: office hours, role-based training, and a curated pattern library (UI frameworks, solution templates, and “don’t reinvent it” components). This turns early wins into sustained momentum and reduces time-to-value for each new use case.

Nurture

Licensing

Licenses shouldn’t be a guessing game. We implement license governance and capacity planning so you buy what you need, and only what you need. With solution-level cost visibility and usage telemetry, you can optimise SKU mix, reassign underused licenses, and forecast spend ahead of demand.

Value

To prove value, we connect delivery to outcomes: cycle-time reductions, automation hours saved, compliance findings avoided, and customer experience improvements. That feeds your roadmap and strengthens the business case for expanding the platform.

FAQ

  1. How do we determine what governance model to use?
    Start with a lightweight framework: define environment tiers (Dev/Test/Prod), baseline DLP policies, and 3–5 Dataverse security roles aligned to job functions. Layer on CoE telemetry and iterate quarterly as adoption grows.
  2. We’re not sure how to manage compliance risks with maker development.
    Classify data, restrict high-risk connectors via DLP, and require solution-level documentation (owner, data sources, purpose). Add anonymised test data and retention rules; audit with CoE dashboards to catch drift early.
  3. We don’t have sufficient management buy-in.
    Lead with 2–3 high-value use cases and a 90-day plan: week 0–2 discovery, week 3–6 delivery, week 7–12 scale + metrics. Share before/after KPIs and license/capacity impact—funding follows evidence.
  4. What does the first 90 days look like?
    Days 1–30: Governance baseline (environments, DLP, roles) + pilot scope. Days 31–60: Build pilots with fusion teams; stand up CoE telemetry. Days 61–90: Rollout playbook, training, and value reporting; prepare phase-2 roadmap.
  5. How do we prevent sprawl in apps and flows?
    Use an intake form, solution templates, mandatory naming/versioning, and archive rules. CoE insights surface orphaned apps, unused licenses, and connectors breaching policy—so you fix issues before they scale.
