What I deliver
Power Platform governance, licensing and environment strategy
Power Platform spreads quickly inside an organisation, which is its strength and its risk. Within a year you can have sixty apps, no ownership record, connectors reaching data nobody approved, and a licence bill nobody can explain. Governance is the work that prevents that without smothering the thing that made it useful.
What this covers
- Environment strategy — separating development, test and production, and deciding who can create what.
- Data loss prevention policies that block risky connector combinations without blocking legitimate work.
- Licensing review: what you are paying for, what you actually need, and where premium connectors are quietly driving cost.
- Center of Excellence setup, including an inventory of what already exists in your tenant.
- Naming, ALM and solution standards so apps can be moved between environments predictably.
Typical triggers for this conversation
- IT has discovered business users building apps and wants control without banning it outright.
- An app critical to operations was built by an employee who has left.
- The licensing invoice grew and nobody can attribute the increase.
- A compliance or audit requirement has arrived and nobody can list what exists.
How I approach it
This usually starts as an assessment rather than a build: what exists today, who owns it, what risk it carries, and what it costs. The output is a short prioritised set of decisions your leadership can actually act on, not a hundred-page framework nobody reads.
Frequently asked questions
What does Power Platform licensing actually cost?
It depends on which connectors and services your solutions use, and on how many people consume them versus build them. Standard connectors are covered under most Microsoft 365 plans; premium connectors and Dataverse require additional per-user or per-app licensing. A short review of your intended architecture is usually enough to give you a realistic figure before you commit.
Is a Center of Excellence worth it for a mid-size company?
Not always in its full form. The parts that matter for most mid-size organisations are the inventory, clear ownership of each app, and a DLP policy. The rest of the standard CoE toolkit can be adopted later if adoption grows enough to justify it.
We already have apps built with no standards. Where do we start?
With an inventory. You cannot govern what you cannot see. The first step is a list of what exists, who owns it, what data it touches and what would break if it stopped working. Decisions become much easier once that list is on the table.
