Over the past years, I have helped organisations of all sizes, to use the Power Platform; be that building tactical solutions to solve an immediate business requirement, moving from other cloud-based applications such as G-Cloud to Office 365 and needing a means to replace similar functionality, training, and enablement of employees to build their own applications through to larger business value assessments, including implementing the governance to support wider rollout.
Very often I have people speak about a ‘Centre of Excellence’ covering just the components within Microsoft’s ‘Centre of Excellence Starter Kit’. However, the reality is a little broader. A Centre of Excellence includes the training of its users, the day-to-day demand management process, service accounts, through to Business as Usual (BAU) support.
“Help! A Power Automate Flow is running under a user who has left the organisation. My business process is broken!”
The successful organisations who embrace and advocate the use of the Power Platform within their organisations have taken the time to review and implement the necessary governance and management of the Power Platform.
“How do I manage where data is being stored?”
This document is for those organisations who have or are looking to roll-out the Power Platform as its strategic platform for both low-code and pro-code application development, summarising the vast amount of information already available via the Microsoft website.
I am an experienced, commercially aware, Microsoft 365 Solution Architect / Technology Leader with a strong and demonstrable background within the Collaboration, Productivity and Low-Code / Pro-Code Development platforms of Microsoft 365 and Azure.
With over 15 years of experience working with Microsoft technology, I have worked with many organisations - from SMEs through to Enterprise, working to digitally transform their businesses with the successful implementation and adoption of Microsoft 365 and Azure products. This includes managing the lifecycle of the project from visioning exercises, discovery, solution design through to implementation and user adoption and change management strategies.
