Power Platform Consulting in Durham
Establishing how the Power Platform is governed across a Durham organisation, which matters because everybody already has it. Apps and flows are being built in the default environment today, connecting to whatever the builder can reach, and the governance decisions are being made by absence rather than by anybody choosing them.
Why this comes up
The problem
Hundreds of flows and apps sit in the default environment, connected to personal accounts and external services.
What you get
What we deliver
- Environment strategy defined, so production work does not live alongside experiments
- Data loss prevention policies applied to stop business data reaching consumer services
- The default environment brought under control, since this is where everything accumulates
- Licensing understood, particularly which connectors require premium entitlement
- A route for citizen developers to hand over anything that becomes business-critical
- Monitoring established, because an unowned flow failing silently is the recurring risk

Working in Durham

Durham's economy is dominated by its university and cathedral, so the commercial base is small and much of the local demand comes from spinouts and suppliers attached to the institutions rather than from independent industry.
Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones.

Power Platform Consulting in Durham — common questions
- Why is the default environment a problem?
- Because everyone has access and nothing is separated. Every user can create there, connectors are unrestricted unless policy says otherwise, and business-critical apps end up alongside abandoned experiments with no distinction between them.
- What do data loss prevention policies do?
- Prevent connector combinations that would move business data somewhere it should not go. Without them, a flow can move records from a line-of-business system into a personal storage account or a consumer messaging service, and nothing stops it.
- Where does licensing catch people out?
- At premium connectors. Building against a database, a custom API or several third-party systems requires entitlement beyond the standard licence, and organisations regularly discover this once an application built by an enthusiast needs rolling out to two hundred people.
- Should citizen development be discouraged?
- No — it solves real problems faster than any central team could. What it needs is a route: a way to identify when something has become load-bearing and to hand it over with support and ownership, rather than leaving it running on the account of somebody who may leave.
- Do you work with businesses across County Durham?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North East, including Durham and the surrounding County Durham area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Durham businesses do you usually work with?
- Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Tourism & Heritage, Public Sector, Retail and Research.
- Do you cover the areas around Durham?
- Yes — we work throughout North East, including Newcastle, Sunderland, York. Durham is an urban area of roughly 70,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Durham region rather than the city boundary alone.
