Power Platform consulting for mid-sized businesses

You've grown past the point where spreadsheets, email approvals, and "ask the person who built it" can keep up. We build the apps, automations, and reports that give your teams hours back every week, with the governance your IT lead will sign off on. Then we hand everything over so it keeps running after we leave.

This page is for you if:

  • Work gets stuck between departments
  • You have an IT manager or a small team, often with an outside provider
  • People have already built their own apps and flows
  • Leadership wants one set of numbers, not a debate about whose spreadsheet is right

Sound familiar?

Growth adds people, systems, and hand-offs faster than it adds structure.

The person who built it left

A flow turns itself off or an app breaks, and nobody knows how it works.

Approvals between departments

A request goes from finance to HR to a manager, and nobody can tell where it's stuck.

Month-end, stitched together by hand

Exports from three systems, copied into one workbook, checked twice.

Apps nobody owns

People built tools to get their work done, and IT finds out when one breaks.

Retired Microsoft tools

InfoPath forms and old SharePoint workflows have stopped, or could stop any day.

Copilot, but carefully

You want it, but you're not sure who can see what in SharePoint.

How we work with you

At this size, the fix is rarely one app. It's a short plan, sensible guardrails, and systems that finally talk to each other.

  1. A short roadmap

    We look across your processes and rank them by hours lost and risk. You get a one-page plan for the next 90 days, not a binder.

  2. Governance from day one

    We build in managed environments, not the default one, with data policies, clear owners, and service accounts for anything business-critical. Your IT lead reviews the design before we build.

  3. Connected to your systems

    We connect Microsoft 365 to your ERP, CRM, and databases, including on-premises systems, so information is entered once.

  4. Built to grow, then handed over

    Packaged solutions, managed deployments, a runbook, and training for the people who'll own it. Ongoing support if you want it.

Proven tools and AI-powered options

We lead with what's proven and add AI where it saves real time. Newer AI features that are still in preview get labeled that way, and we won't build a critical process on them.

Proven

  • Rebuilding InfoPath forms and SharePoint 2013 workflows, with old records kept readable.
  • Approvals that cross departments, with an audit trail and delegation.
  • Power BI data models that put finance and operations on the same numbers.
  • Integration with your ERP, CRM, and on-premises databases.
  • Governance: managed environments, data policies, and an owner for every app and flow.

AI-powered

  • Copilot readiness assessment. Microsoft's oversharing reports and a permissions cleanup before licenses go live. Maturity: production. The reports come with your first Copilot license.
  • AI steps in approval and intake flows: reading invoices, sorting requests, drafting summaries. Maturity: available now. A person approves anything that touches money or customers.
  • Agents that answer from your policies and start a request. Maturity: production-ready building blocks. We start with a measured pilot.
  • Copilot in Power BI for written summaries of your reports. Maturity: generally available. Needs Microsoft Fabric capacity.

What it takes

Licensing in plain terms. Growing companies often run a mix of plans, and we design for the one you have.

Copilot licensing explained

  • A mix of Business and Enterprise plans is normal. Microsoft caps Business plans at 300 seats, so many growing companies run both. That works, but the two come with different security tools, and we design for both.
  • Premium licenses for the people who use solutions that connect to systems like SQL Server, your ERP, or on-premises data. Pay-as-you-go licensing can cover apps people use only occasionally.
  • Managed environments come with premium licenses. From February 2027, Microsoft blocks unlicensed users from apps in them, so we plan licensing alongside the governance design.
  • Power BI Pro to share reports.
  • Copilot licenses for people who live in Word, Excel, and Outlook, and Copilot Credits for agents used by people without a license and for AI steps in workflows.
  • Automatic retention labels need Microsoft 365 E5 or Microsoft Purview Suite.

Common questions

Our InfoPath forms still work. Do we still need to move?

Yes. Microsoft began removing InfoPath Forms Services from SharePoint Online on July 14, 2026. Some tenants still show forms with no explanation from Microsoft, which means they could stop at any time. We rebuild the forms people still use and archive the rest as readable, searchable records.

How do you keep this from becoming shadow IT?

Everything goes in managed environments with data policies and a named owner, and nothing business-critical is built in the default environment. Your admin can see every app and flow in the Power Platform admin center.

Who supports it after you leave?

Your team does, and they'll be ready. Business-critical flows run under service accounts with co-owners, solutions are stored in source control, and every build comes with a runbook and training. Ongoing support is available if you want it.

Should we be on Business or Enterprise plans?

Business plans stop at 300 seats, and mixing plan families in one tenant is allowed. The choice depends on the security and compliance tools you need. We map it out with you.

Per-app or per-user licensing?

Microsoft stopped selling the per-app license to new customers on January 2, 2026, except through resellers. Pay-as-you-go per-app licensing and per-user Premium remain. We model which fits your usage.

How do we know Copilot is worth it?

Clean up permissions first, then run a short pilot with a group whose time you can measure before and after. Scale only what shows results.
