Risk to Predictability: The Power Automate Consulting Firm Approach
The Challenge of High-Risk IT Initiatives
For mid-enterprise IT leaders, every new project carries a degree of risk. When it comes to automation and digital transformation, those risks are amplified. Projects often suffer from scope creep, missed deadlines, or failure to launch entirely. This is especially true when dealing with the Microsoft Power Platform, where the barrier to entry is low, but mastery is high.
Many organizations attempt to handle these transformations in-house. However, without a dedicated team of experts, they often run into technical roadblocks. A project that started as a simple workflow can quickly spiral into a complex integration nightmare. This leads to wasted budget and a loss of confidence in the IT department’s ability to deliver.
The Enterprise Delivery Assurance Model
At i3solutions, we believe that IT projects should not be a gamble. We have developed our Enterprise Delivery Assurance model to combat the uncertainty of software development. This model is designed to ensure that projects are delivered on-time, in-scope, and in-production. We remove the guesswork and replace it with a proven methodology.
Our approach is built on a foundation of senior-level expertise. We do not rely on junior developers to figure things out on the fly. Our US-based team brings decades of experience to the table. We understand the nuances of the Microsoft ecosystem and how to navigate complex enterprise environments. This experience allows us to foresee potential issues before they become critical problems.
Rationalizing Your Automation Portfolio
A key part of reducing risk is understanding what you already have. Many companies have a cluttered portfolio of "shadow IT" solutions built by enthusiastic employees. These citizen-built flows are often unstable and undocumented. Relying on them for critical business functions is a high-risk strategy that often ends in failure.
We come in and assess this landscape. We identify the flows that are critical to your operations and "rationalize" them. This means we evaluate their logic, their security, and their efficiency. If a flow is vital, we rebuild it using professional standards. If it is redundant, we retire it. This process reduces the noise and focuses resources on what matters.
From Citizen Development to Enterprise Grade
Moving from a citizen-led environment to an enterprise-grade solution requires a shift in mindset. It requires moving from "does it work?" to "is it scalable and secure?". We help you make this transition. We take the innovative ideas of your employees and professionalize them, ensuring they are robust enough for enterprise use.
This is essential for stability. An enterprise-grade solution utilizes proper error handling, logging, and security practices. It does not break when a single user changes their password. It is resilient and reliable. This is the difference between a hobbyist project and a professional business tool.
Why You Need a Power Automate Consulting Firm
To achieve this level of stability, you need a partner who specializes in this transition. Engaging a Power Automate consulting firm to standardize and rationalize existing citizen-built flows allows you to mitigate risk effectively. We turn your volatile automation environment into a stable, predictable asset.
