Power Platform Customer Success
“The design of this solution with Compass365 is so user-friendly for our network and team. I gave them my vision, our branding guidelines, and what we believe in – they got to work and reflected everything in the solution they built for us. We love it.”
“The time and energy Compass365 put into this work is unparalleled. I know I can rely on them to bring a solid, quality solution that we have agreed upon and is consistent across the board.”
“Off-the-shelf products were back-ordered, didn’t meet our requirements, and cost at least twice as much as Compass365’s custom solution.”
Our Power Platform Governance Process
The Business Applications team at Compass365 has been delivering Microsoft-based forms and workflow solutions for more than 15 years. We created the Compass365 Power Platform Center of Excellence offering to help our clients address the rapid growth, continued demand, and need for governance for Power Platform solutions.
Center of Excellence efforts start with an assessment and planning phase. Using a series of workshops with our Solutions Architects and key stakeholders, we clarify and document our client’s purpose, goals, objectives, and expected outcomes in a Strategy and Roadmap Planning document. We provide guidance on Microsoft’s best practices for Power Platform, potential licensing implications, document security, and compliance requirements as well as plans for configuration, communication, intake, and delivery processes. We’ll work with you to inventory any existing applications and areas of concern and map your requirements to the Power Platform Center of Excellence Starter Kit to identify the gaps and how to address them. Implementation estimates are provided along with formal documentation to carry out the implementation of the Center of Excellence.
In this phase, the CoE roadmap is implemented. This may include implementing the CoE Starter Kit, as well as O365 tenant and Power Platform configurations to reflect the governance policies and decisions in the roadmap. We’ll design and implement any supplemental automations identified to meet your requirements, along with design documentation, test scripts, and user guides. We believe strongly that formal, yet easy-to-understand and follow documentation is a key deliverable to every project, and critical to the long-term viability of the Center of Excellence. During this phase, the communication plan is finalized with a defined strategy, templates, and other assets to not only inform the organization but engage and build anticipation with the business for process improvements and opportunities to come.
While each organization’s strategy is unique, the goal is consistent. Once we have applied the proper security and governance controls, we enable and empower citizen developers with a series of tools, resources, and events. These can range from roadshow events with business units who’ve expressed interest to training videos, lunch and learns, online training/certification, reference guides, individual consultation sessions, and more. We rely on our clients’ understanding of their organization’s culture, technical aptitude, and maturity level to help shape the enablement program that will work best for them. While it may take time, ultimately champions will emerge. Providing a platform and opportunity for these folks to share their knowledge and successes helps the effort grow exponentially.
Managing, sustaining, and growing the Power Platform Center of Excellence program is an ongoing effort. Some of our clients have the in-house resources to sustain this effort, while others rely on our team to help with the care and feeding of the program through a Managed Applications Services engagement. Power Platform is a great tool for citizen developers to create their own low to medium-complexity solutions. Some processes, however, due to either complexity or time constraints, warrant escalation to developer resources to help guide, review architecture and build out the solutions. In many cases, the Compass365 team is engaged long-term as part of the program to deliver solutions, conduct workshops, build out proof-of-concept apps, help with discovery and estimation of effort, etc. With the organization’s IT leaders, we help establish audit and reporting processes that feed into the cycle of continuous process improvement.
