Microsoft Dynamics 365 Automation in Portsmouth
Automating processes across Dynamics 365 and Power Platform for Portsmouth organisations, with early attention to a mundane detail that breaks more automations than any design flaw: flows run under an identity. When that identity is a person who changes role or leaves, the process stops — usually without telling anyone.
Why this comes up
The problem
A critical approval flow was built by someone who left in March, and nobody noticed it had stopped until June.
What you get
What we deliver
- Flows owned by service accounts rather than individuals
- Connections documented, since each one carries someone's credentials
- The right tool chosen per case — business rules, flows, or code
- Failure notifications routed to a team, not to the flow's creator alone
- Run history monitored, because flows fail quietly by default
- Licensing checked, as premium connectors and volumes carry their own requirements

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Automation in Portsmouth — common questions
- Why does flow ownership matter?
- Because the flow runs as its owner, using their connections. When they leave and the account is disabled, the automation stops — and since flows do not announce failure to anyone but their owner, the discovery is usually a downstream problem weeks later.
- Business rules, flows or plug-ins?
- Business rules for field logic on a form, flows for processes crossing systems or involving people, plug-ins where the work must happen inside the transaction. Most difficulty comes from using a flow where the timing genuinely needed to be immediate.
- How do we know a flow has failed?
- Only by looking, unless you build for it. Run history records failures without alerting anybody, so notifications on failure should go to a monitored mailbox or channel — and someone should review the history periodically regardless.
- Are there licensing traps?
- Premium connectors and higher volumes have their own requirements, and it is possible to build something that works in development and needs licences nobody budgeted for. Establish which connectors a design depends on before it becomes the design.
- Do you work with businesses across Hampshire?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout South East, including Portsmouth and the surrounding Hampshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Portsmouth businesses do you usually work with?
- Port, ferry and defence logistics systems, plus visitor operations for the waterfront attractions. Beyond that we work across Marine & Defence, Ports & Ferries, Higher Education, Retail and Tourism.
- Do you cover the areas around Portsmouth?
- Yes — we work throughout South East, including Southampton, Chichester, Brighton. Portsmouth is an urban area of roughly 240,000+, and we take on work across the wider Hampshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
