Power Platform Centre of Excellence: 2 day Proof of Concept

Microsoft’s Power Platform is a powerful low code and no code tool for citizen and professional developers to create innovative business applications. Whilst it can deliver valuable return on investment, its ease of use and broad availability on the Microsoft E5 licence model, Power Platform can pose significant challenges for IT governance. Without visibility, security, and lifecycle management of Power Platform solutions, IT departments face the risks of data leakage, policy violations, duplication, inefficiency, and poor quality. A Power Platform Centre of Excellence (COE) can be a powerful way to drive innovation and knowledge sharing whilst improving standards, monitoring costs, consistency, and governance across the organisation. How we help Insight’s Power Platform COE offers a comprehensive programme for engaging in best practice delivery, adoption and deployment whilst addressing the concerns arising from both the business and IT. Insight’s Power Platform experts will provide an overview of your current state and establish and implement a set of best practices to accelerate how Power Platform is governed, adopted and managed in your organisation. Insight will help you:

• Configure the Power Platform settings, policies, and permissions at the tenant level to ensure security, compliance, and governance.
• Create and manage the Power Platform environments, and apply the security and access control mechanisms to protect your data and assets.
• Inventory, categorise and analyse your existing Power Platform apps, flows, and connectors.
• Define and implement the Power Platform environment strategy, data policies, and governance model.
• Track and measure the performance, usage, and cost of the Power Platform in your organisation.
• Outline and document both when, and when not, the Power Platform should be leveraged.
• Assess the maturity of your Power Platform adoption, and create a tailored roadmap with actionable tasks to iteratively improve this over time.
