Power Apps to replace the spreadsheets. Power Automate for the workflows. Power BI for the dashboards. Built properly, governed properly, supportable after we leave.
Constantinos Gaitanos leads our Power Platform practice. He started at Defence Equipment and Support inside the UK Ministry of Defence and moved to Flyte, delivering Power Platform solutions for clients globally and helping standardise the development practices behind complex enterprise builds. He brings senior-grade architecture and an opinionated view about what makes Power Platform builds last (Dataverse for anything serious, environment strategy from day one, governance before scale, documentation as a deliverable).
Power Automate Sprint, Power BI Dashboard, SharePoint Intranet, Employee Onboarding Automation, Power Platform Bootcamp.
Bespoke Power Platform builds, multi-app suites, regulated industry applications. £18,000 to £80,000 typical.
Hundreds of organisations need essentially the same Power Platform builds. We have productised the most common ones. The full list is in our capability library, with 257 patterns covering everything from document approval workflows to field inspection apps to integrated client portals.
For simple apps, citizen developers can absolutely build them. We work with citizen-developed apps regularly. The work that warrants a consultancy is the more complex pattern: anything that needs Dataverse, integrations to systems outside Microsoft, regulated data handling, governance at scale, or longevity beyond the original builder leaving the firm. The cost of a Power App that breaks when the person who built it leaves is usually higher than the cost of having built it properly the first time.
Microsoft licensing for Power Platform is complicated and changing. The cheapest path is using the Power Apps included in M365 (free, very limited). Dedicated Power Apps Premium licences start at around £20 per user per month. Power Automate has separate per-flow and per-user licensing. Dataverse storage is metered. We help you work out the right licence path during scoping; in most cases the licence cost is modest compared to the value of the build.
Yes. We use Power Automate connectors for the standard ones and custom connectors via Azure Functions for the more bespoke integrations. Our capability library has explicit patterns for Sage, QuickBooks, Xero, Salesforce, and HubSpot integration; we have built each of these before.
For a Quick Win pattern (a single form, a simple workflow, a basic dashboard), one to two weeks. For a Sprint Build (a multi-screen app, integrated workflow, simple Dataverse model), two to four weeks. For a Cross-Functional Build (a substantial app with integrations, complex workflow, real data model), four to eight weeks. For a transformation programme (multi-app, multi-team, organisation-wide), two to four months.
