How we work

How we run your Microsoft Power Platform and 365 project

From the first conversation to delivery, every decision is explained, every step produces a verifiable result and nothing moves forward without your approval.

Where you stand

We don't restart every project from scratch.

We tailor the first days of the engagement to your reality: a brand-new idea, an existing solution or a problem that needs solving fast.

Under-used Microsoft 36501

You pay for 365 but still work by email and Excel

We identify the processes that will gain most from automation with what you already own.

How we get started

  • Workshop on your repetitive tasks
  • Review of licences and available connectors
  • First automated flow within days
Migration02

You are moving to Microsoft 365

From a file server, Google Workspace or old mail systems, we migrate without data loss and without stopping work.

How we get started

  • Inventory of mailboxes, files and permissions
  • Target Teams and SharePoint structure
  • Cutover plan and team communication
Reporting03

Your numbers are scattered

We build reliable Power BI dashboards, fed automatically by your tools.

How we get started

  • List of metrics and their definitions
  • Connection to data sources
  • First dashboard on your real data

The full process

A clear path forward, with no gray areas.

At every step, you know what was done, what was delivered and what decision is needed to move on.

  1. 013 to 7 days

    Assessment

    We analyse your processes, licences and 365 environment to target quick wins and risks.

    What we do

    • Interviews with teams
    • Security and sharing audit
    • Prioritisation of use cases

    Why this step: Many businesses pay for Microsoft 365 licenses they barely use, or share data more widely than they realize. This assessment reveals what you can do with what you already pay for, identifies security risks and targets the first use cases that will save time.

    How we proceed, line by line

    1. 1 An initial video call frames your goals and identifies the teams to interview.
    2. 2 We hold short video interviews to spot shared spreadsheets, paper forms and repetitive tasks.
    3. 3 With read access to the admin center, we review your licenses, available connectors and Power Platform environment.
    4. 4 We check authentication, external sharing links and permissions in Teams and SharePoint.
    5. 5 We rank use cases by time saved, difficulty and licenses required.
    6. 6 We write a report with the risks, priorities and a roadmap, then present it by video call.

    Who does what

    A Microsoft 365 and Power Platform consultant leads the interviews and audit, with a project manager who organizes the meetings. On your side, your IT manager grants access and a few members of each team describe their day-to-day work.

    What you provide

    • Read access to the Microsoft 365 admin center and Power Platform.
    • The list of your current licenses and subscriptions.
    • An hour of availability from a few people per team for interviews.

    What you receive

    Report, priorities and roadmap

    Your approval

    You choose the first cases to deliver.

  2. 021 to 2 weeks

    Governance and foundation

    We set the rules before multiplying apps: environments, permissions, security and conventions.

    What we do

    • Test and production environments
    • Data policies and multi-factor authentication
    • Teams and SharePoint structure

    Why this step: Without rules, apps and workflows multiply unchecked, expose data and become impossible to maintain. Laying the foundation before building protects your information and makes every future solution easier to evolve.

    How we proceed, line by line

    1. 1 We create separate Power Platform environments for test and production.
    2. 2 We configure data policies that restrict the allowed connectors by environment.
    3. 3 We enable or check multi-factor authentication with Microsoft Entra ID and tighten permissions to least privilege.
    4. 4 We structure Teams and SharePoint: teams, channels, sites and internal and external sharing rules.
    5. 5 We set naming conventions and start a solution inventory in a shared document.
    6. 6 We present the documented foundation to your IT manager in a video review.

    Who does what

    The Microsoft 365 consultant configures security, environments and the Teams and SharePoint structure, and writes the documentation. Your IT manager approves each rule and provides the necessary admin rights.

    What you provide

    • Temporary admin rights or an administrator available to apply the settings.
    • Your internal security and sharing rules, even informal ones.
    • Approval of the rules by your IT manager.

    What you receive

    Documented Microsoft 365 and Power Platform foundation

    Your approval

    Your IT lead approves the rules.

  3. 031- to 2-week cycles

    Build

    We build apps, flows and dashboards in short iterations, tested with users.

    What we do

    • Power Apps, Power Automate and Copilot Studio
    • Dataverse or SharePoint data model
    • Power BI reports and automatic refresh

    Why this step: An app built without its users often ends up abandoned in favor of the old spreadsheet. Short iterations, each tested by the people concerned, ensure tools that fit real-world work and are delivered progressively.

    How we proceed, line by line

    1. 1 We start with the priority use case chosen during the assessment and sketch a mockup of the app or workflow with its users.
    2. 2 We design the data model in Dataverse or SharePoint, with permissions suited to each role.
    3. 3 In the test environment, we build the Power Apps, Power Automate workflows and, if useful, a Copilot Studio assistant.
    4. 4 For Power BI, we define the indicators with management, connect the sources and schedule automatic refresh.
    5. 5 Each workflow handles its errors, notifies the right person and keeps a run history.
    6. 6 Users test each delivery, including on mobile, and we adjust based on their feedback.
    7. 7 We move the approved solution to production and add its documentation to the inventory.

    Who does what

    Power Platform developers build the apps and workflows, a Power BI specialist creates the dashboards and the project manager tracks the iterations. Your users test each delivery and management approves the indicator definitions.

    What you provide

    • The files, lists and data sources to migrate or connect.
    • Access to the third-party tools to connect, such as Odoo or SAP.
    • Users available to test each iteration.
    • Any additional licenses needed, identified during the assessment.

    What you receive

    Tested, documented solutions

    Your approval

    Each delivery is approved by its users.

  4. 042 to 4 weeks, then ongoing

    Adoption and follow-up

    We train, support and measure usage so the tools are really adopted.

    What we do

    • Short role-based training
    • Internal champions and guides
    • Usage tracking and improvements

    Why this step: A well-built tool that is rarely used brings no return. Training, appointing champions and measuring usage let us check that the solutions are really adopted and improve them where they still get in the way.

    How we proceed, line by line

    1. 1 We run short role-based training sessions by video call, on the tasks each team actually performs.
    2. 2 We provide simple guides and, if you wish, record the sessions for newcomers.
    3. 3 We train internal champions who can answer common questions and make small changes.
    4. 4 We track usage of apps, workflows and reports using the statistics available in Microsoft 365 and Power Platform.
    5. 5 An adjustment review after a few weeks lists the blockers and requested improvements.
    6. 6 We keep the evolution plan up to date and deliver new use cases according to your priorities.

    Who does what

    A trainer runs the sessions and writes the guides, the consultant tracks usage and the project manager maintains the evolution plan. On your side, internal champions relay questions and management encourages use of the new tools.

    What you provide

    • Training slots in each team's calendar.
    • One or two volunteer internal champions.
    • Your usage feedback at the adjustment review.

    What you receive

    Self-reliant teams and evolution plan

    Your approval

    The tools are used every day.
