Yes, business users can create their own reports within a governed self-service framework. This means that while users have the flexibility to create and customize reports according to their needs, the IT department ensures that governance policies are in place. These policies include data security, consistent report templates, and access controls to ensure that reports are accurate, secure, and comply with company standards. Users have the freedom to explore the data while adhering to organizational best practices.

We provide "light enablement" for custom applications using Power Apps, meaning that we help design and configure apps tailored to your needs rather than building fully custom applications from scratch. Our approach focuses on empowering your teams to create applications quickly within the Power Apps framework, ensuring they are aligned with your business processes. For more complex solutions, we can guide you in scaling or integrating Power Apps with other enterprise systems. This ensures a seamless and efficient application development experience.

We prevent low-code sprawl by implementing a strong governance and environment strategy. This includes establishing clear guidelines on which applications can be developed, who can access and modify them, and how they integrate with existing systems. Our approach ensures that all low-code applications built on platforms like Power Apps are aligned with IT standards and compliance requirements. Additionally, we employ central monitoring and management tools to track app usage, performance, and any potential security risks, ensuring that governance remains intact while empowering users to innovate.
