Process design first
Automations mapped to the actual process, with exceptions and approvals modelled explicitly.
Power Platform
Power Automate for approvals, orchestration and process automation
Power Automate removes the manual handoffs between systems and people. BD-S designs automations that are reliable, monitored and owned, from simple approvals to cross-system orchestration and desktop RPA.
The problem it solves
Why organisations look at Power Automate
Handoffs by email
Approvals, notifications and data entry between systems are done by people, slowly and inconsistently.
Flows that fail quietly
Automations built without error handling or monitoring stop working and nobody notices.
Legacy systems without APIs
Some work can only be done through an application's screens.
Where BD-S adds value
More than a product install
Built to run unattended
Error handling, retries, alerting and run history that operations teams can use.
RPA where it is justified
Desktop flows for legacy systems, with a plan to replace them with APIs over time.
Orchestration with Azure
Logic Apps and Service Bus for high-volume or mission-critical integration.
Services
Advisory and implementation
Automation discovery
Process inventory, prioritisation and value estimates.
Flow development
Cloud flows, approvals, business process flows and desktop flows.
Monitoring and operations
Alerting, run-history reporting and ownership handover.
Flow remediation
Review and rebuild of fragile or ungoverned flows.
Use cases
Where it fits
- Approval workflows for procurement, HR and finance
- Document generation and distribution
- Data synchronisation between Dynamics 365 and line-of-business systems
- RPA for legacy applications without APIs
- Notifications and escalations tied to service levels
Part of the wider Microsoft ecosystem
Power Automate spans Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, Dataverse and external systems through connectors. For enterprise integration patterns BD-S pairs it with Azure Integration Services.
Governance and security
Built to be governed
- Environment strategy with separated development, test and production
- Data loss prevention policies and connector classification
- Solution-based ALM with pipelines and approval gates
- Ownership, support model and lifecycle defined before go-live
Adoption and managed support
After go-live
Flows are monitored and supported under the managed service, including connector and licence changes, failure investigation and enhancements.
