Microsoft Power Platform Development & Consultancy Services

Microsoft Power Platform development services involve building custom, low-code/no-code solutions using the Power Platform suite (Power Apps, Power BI, Power Automate, Power Pages, and Copilot Studio). For instance, at Soluzione, one of the leading Power Apps development companies, our Power Platform development services focus on creating tailored apps, automated workflows, interactive dashboards, secure portals, and AI agents that help businesses quickly and in a cost-effective way.

Microsoft Power Platform consulting services focus on the strategic side—assessing your needs, designing governance frameworks, defining architecture, recommending licensing, and planning integrations for long-term success. While the development services are about creating custom apps, flows, dashboards, and AI-enhanced solutions.

Microsoft Power Platform tackles common operational inefficiencies that many businesses encounter, including repetitive manual tasks, data silos, slow reporting, approval bottlenecks, and limited process visibility. With features such as AI-driven agents, a Plan Designer that allows teams of AI agents to map requirements and build solutions, and hyperautomation, the platform effectively addresses issues related to compliance, governance, custom requirements, data fragmentation, and user experience, among others.

Power Apps and the AI features within enable teams to build custom, secure, mobile-friendly applications quickly using low-code tools. This helps businesses by empowering their teams, improving productivity with smart features, digitizing and streamlining workflows, and improving adoption and modernizing operations across departments with these apps.

Yes, integration is one of Power Platform's strongest features—it's designed for seamless connectivity. Power Platform links natively and deeply with Dynamics 365 (especially required in finance/operations setups), enabling bi-directional data sync, custom extensions, embedded apps, and automated workflows across CRM, ERP, and more.

Yes, Power Apps is highly effective for replacing Excel-based tracking, manual forms, paper processes, or email-driven workflows—especially as spreadsheets grow complex and error-prone (version issues, limited access, no real-time collaboration). Common transitions include moving from Excel logs to inventory apps (auto-reorders), expense reports (pre-filled, auto-approved), timesheets (accurate project tracking), or inspection checklists (photo capture, notifications). At our Power App development company, we can help you understand which option best fits your business requirements.

Microsoft Power Platform, leveraging the same robust security infrastructure as Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365. Thus, it is considered highly secure for enterprise use. Along with this, our Power Platform consultants also help you set up environment strategy, governance policies, DLP rules, and secure integrations to ensure your implementation meets both IT and compliance standards.

Yes, using Power BI Embedded and Power BI REST APIs, the Power BI dashboards can easily be embedded into other business applications such as web apps, custom applications, Microsoft Teams, and SharePoint Online.

Implementation time depends on the scope and complexity of the project. Small-scale solutions may take a few weeks, while more complex solutions with extensive customizations could take several months. Soluzione is committed to delivering quality within the agreed-upon timeline and keeps you informed throughout the project.

The cost of implementing a Power Platform solution varies based on the complexity of the workflows, app, integration, & licensing type, as well as customization, dashboards, & integration requirements, and the specific tools involved. At Soluzione, we offer flexible pricing (Time & Material, Fixed Price, Resource Augmentation, Budgeted SOW) that fit your budget and goals.
