Why Use Third-Party Integrations?
Third-party integrations allow Microsoft Power Platform to interact with external systems, unlocking powerful benefits:
Automation: Automatically trigger workflows across platforms to eliminate manual tasks, reduce errors, and ensure consistent processes across your organisation
Data Visibility: Centralise data from multiple systems into Power Platform to enable real-time reporting, deeper insights, and more informed decision-making
Efficiency: Streamline operations by synchronising data between platforms, reducing duplication, and improving collaboration across departments
Scalability: Extend your system’s capabilities with custom connectors that integrate niche or proprietary tools, allowing your Power Platform solutions to grow with your business
Common Use Cases
Below are common scenarios where our integration services add value:
SQL as a Data Source

Our Process
Our streamlined six-stage process is designed to ensure the seamless implementation of Power Platform solutions, guaranteeing project success from start to finish. We work closely with you throughout each phase, providing expert guidance, transparent communication, and tailored support to align with your specific needs and objectives. With our structured approach, we deliver efficiency, quality, and impactful results.
Discovery
We begin by working closely with our clients to understand their business challenges and goals. Through consultations and process evaluations, we identify how Power Platform can streamline operations and drive efficiency. With a clear vision in place, we lay the groundwork for delivering impactful, results-driven solutions.
Preparation
Before development begins, we focus on building a strong foundation for success. This may include setting up environments, migrating test data, or creating a proof of concept. By establishing clear frameworks and guidelines upfront, we ensure a smooth transition into the next phase.
Design & Development
With a defined plan in place, we design and develop intuitive solutions tailored to each client’s needs. Phase 1 begins with user-friendly Power Apps based on insights from discovery. Through iterative refinement, we ensure the solution aligns with business objectives and delivers scalable, real-world results.
Testing & Acceptance
Before deployment, we conduct thorough internal testing to ensure reliability, security, and performance. We then guide clients through User Acceptance Testing (UAT), validating the solution against expectations. Any refinements are made to ensure a seamless transition to implementation.
Maintenance & Support
Once live, we provide ongoing maintenance, support, and updates to ensure smooth operation. Proactive monitoring helps resolve issues early, while regular enhancements keep the platform efficient. We’re always available to adapt solutions as business needs evolve.
