Low-code withenterprise-gradeguardrails.

Power Platform development services for Microsoft organisations that need more than citizen-built apps with no oversight. Power Apps that handle real business logic. Power Automate flows with error handling and monitoring. Dataverse models that scale. We build on Power Platform with the governance, ALM, and architecture that enterprise IT demands — so your low-code investment doesn't become your next tech debt.

Why Entalogics for Power Platform

Four things every
Power Platform environment
actually needs.

The Power Platform environments we audit always have the same problems — 300 canvas apps nobody tracks, flows that fail silently, no DLP policies, Dataverse tables with no naming convention, and citizen developers building solutions that bypass IT entirely. Low-code doesn't mean low-risk. Most organisations treat it that way.

Governance01

Center of Excellence or ungoverned sprawl. Pick one.

CoE Starter Kit deployed, DLP policies enforced, environment strategy defined. Every app and flow tracked, owned, and monitored. No shadow Power Platform growing outside IT's view.

Architecture02

Dataverse modelled properly, not Excel imported.

Proper entity relationships, option sets, business rules, and security roles. Dataverse is a real database — treat it like one. No flat tables with 80 columns imported from a spreadsheet.

Automation03

Power Automate with error handling, not hope.

Try-catch scopes on every flow. Failure notifications to an ops channel. Run history monitored. Timeout handling. No flows that fail silently for weeks while business data stops syncing.

Type safety04

Solution-aware development with ALM.

Everything in managed solutions. Dev → test → prod promotion via pipelines. No editing directly in production. No unmanaged customisations that block future deployments.

When Power Platform, when not

Power Platform is a tool.
Not a replacement for engineering.

Power Platform handles 80% of business automation faster than custom code. The other 20% needs pro-dev — and knowing where that line sits is the whole game. We'll tell you on the first call.

BUILD ON POWER PLATFORM WHEN

  • Internal business apps — approvals, request forms, dashboards — that need to ship in days, not months
  • You're a Microsoft 365 organisation and Dataverse, Teams, and SharePoint are already in play
  • Citizen developers need a governed platform to build safely — not Excel workarounds
  • Process automation that connects Dynamics 365, SharePoint, Outlook, and Teams natively

BUILD CUSTOM WHEN

  • The app is customer-facing with brand-specific UI — Power Apps canvas has visual limits
  • Complex business logic exceeds what Power Fx can express cleanly
  • Performance at scale — Dataverse has request limits that custom databases don't
  • The team is engineering-first and the use case justifies a full-stack approach

WE SAY NO WHEN

  • "Power Apps for our consumer-facing product." That's not what it's designed for.
  • "Let everyone build whatever they want." That's how you get 300 ungoverned apps.
  • "Replace our entire custom platform with Power Platform." Some things need real code.

The playbook

Patterns we
ship on repeat.

Power Platform patterns from real enterprise deployments — not demo environments.

  • P01

    CoE Starter Kit from day one

    App inventory, flow inventory, maker analytics, DLP enforcement. Deployed before the first citizen developer builds their first app.

  • P02

    Solution-aware everything

    Every app, flow, table, and component in a managed solution. Promoted through environments via pipelines. Nothing unmanaged in production.

  • P03

    Error handling on every flow

    Try-catch scopes, configure-run-after for failure branches, timeout actions, notification to ops channel. No silent failures.

  • P04

    Dataverse with proper modelling

    Entity relationships, lookup fields, option sets, business rules, calculated columns. No flat tables. No Excel imports as a data model.

  • P05

    DLP policies per environment

    Business connectors separated from non-business connectors. HTTP blocked in citizen environments. Premium connectors restricted to governed environments.

  • P06

    Power BI with row-level security

    Embedded dashboards with RLS matching Dataverse security roles. Users see only their data. No separate permission model to maintain.

Signature case

A logistics company,
from 300 ungoverned apps to a governed Power Platform estate.

A logistics company with 300 canvas apps, 180 Power Automate flows, no DLP policies, no environment strategy, and 12 flows that had been silently failing for over a month — syncing nothing while operations assumed the data was current. Deployed CoE Starter Kit, configured DLP, consolidated into 3 governed environments, fixed failing flows, and established ALM pipelines in 8 weeks.

Before

300 apps, no inventory · 180 flows, 12 silently broken · 0 DLP policies · 1 default environment

After

186 governed apps · 94 monitored flows · DLP enforced · 3 environments with ALM pipelines

Engagement shape

Eight to ten weeks
to a measurable ship.

A typical Power Platform engagement. We build or govern app by app — the current environment stays live while we work.

  • W01

    Audit + RFC

    Two senior Power Platform architects. App/flow inventory, DLP gap analysis, Dataverse model review, ALM maturity check. A ranked, dollarized RFC.

  • W02–03

    Foundation + governance

    CoE Starter Kit deployed, DLP policies enforced, environment strategy implemented, first solution built with ALM. Governed from day one.

  • W04–08

    Solution by solution

    Apps built, flows automated, Dataverse modelled, Power BI dashboards embedded. Each promoted through pipelines.

  • W09+

    Handoff

    CoE dashboard live. ALM pipelines operational. Governance runbook handed to your team — or we stay on retainer.

FAQ

Sharp questions,
straight answers.

Replacing custom tools, preventing sprawl, model-driven vs canvas — the questions we get on every Power Platform discovery call.
For most internal CRUD apps, approvals, and dashboards — yes, and significantly faster. For customer-facing apps, complex UI, or high-scale data processing — custom code is still the right answer. We'll tell you which applies.
CoE Starter Kit for inventory and monitoring. DLP policies per environment. Managed Environments for enterprise controls. Environment strategy that separates citizen development from production workloads. Governance deployed before the first app.
Model-driven for data-heavy business apps with role-based security — the UI builds itself from Dataverse. Canvas for custom layouts, mobile-first experiences, and pixel-level control. Most organisations need both.
Yes. The engineers who write the RFC ship the solutions. No handoff mid-engagement. Direct access throughout.
Yes. We audit what's there, govern what's ungoverned, fix what's broken, and build new solutions alongside existing ones. No rip-and-replace.
