What does the Novasoft Power Platform practice cover?

Novasoft is a Microsoft Solutions Partner running Microsoft Power Platform deliveries for Microsoft customers across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, India and the USA — Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, Copilot Studio agents, Power Pages portals, Dataverse and the Center of Excellence governance that decides who can build what.

The practice exists for one reason — most enterprise apps in a Microsoft estate aren't worth a six-month custom build. They're forms-and-tables business apps that talk to Business Central, SharePoint and Dataverse. Power Platform ships them in weeks, with the governance rails in place so makers don't quietly create a parallel IT department. Pair with our process automation and analytics practices for the full picture.

Capabilities · Six pillars

Six pillars that turn Power Platform into a production discipline.

Each module is shipped with the governance, integration and observability it needs to survive the third app, the third year and the third maker.

Power Apps — canvas & model-driven

Custom canvas apps for forms-and-tables business processes, model-driven apps on Dataverse for richer relational data. Used for vendor onboarding, asset inspections, expense capture, project tracking, store-floor approvals — the apps your business buys IT to build.

When to use Power Apps

Power Automate — cloud & desktop flows

Cloud flows for SaaS integration (BC, SharePoint, Outlook, Teams, third-party APIs), desktop flows for RPA across legacy Windows apps that have no API. Approvals, document routing, posting automation, scheduled syncs — the glue your estate runs on.

Process automation

Power BI — semantic models & reports

Semantic models on top of Business Central, LS Central, Dataverse and Azure SQL. Row-level security, Power BI Premium capacity sizing, paginated reports for finance, real-time dashboards for retail. Plus the data-model hygiene that keeps refreshes under five minutes.

Analytics solutions

Copilot Studio agents

Conversational agents that live in Teams, the web or Microsoft 365 Copilot — HR onboarding, IT helpdesk, project status, vendor / customer FAQ. Grounded in your SharePoint, Dataverse or BC, with DLP and approval workflows in place before the first agent ships.

M365 practice

Power Pages — external portals

Customer, partner and vendor portals on Power Pages — KYC submission, request portals, supplier registration, public-facing data capture wired to Dataverse and Business Central. The shorter path to a portal that doesn't need a custom web team.

BC integration

Dataverse data platform

Dataverse as the relational backbone — tables, relationships, business rules, row-level security and virtual tables that surface Business Central records natively. The one place your Power Apps, flows and agents read and write from.

Dataverse reference
Center of Excellence · Governance first

Power Platform without governance is technical debt with a friendly UI.

Most Power Platform horror stories start the same way — IT hands out maker licences, two enthusiastic teams build six apps each, and 18 months later nobody remembers which apps are production, which flows touch which data, and whose Dataverse environment is hosting payroll. The fix is a Center of Excellence — installed before the first production app, not after the first audit.

Novasoft installs the Microsoft CoE Starter Kit, sets up environments (Default, Dev, Test, Prod), defines DLP rules per environment, sets up maker training, and runs a monthly review of orphan apps and flows. Pair with Novacare 360° for the ongoing supervision.

  1. Environments & DLP — Default locked down, Dev/Test/Prod environments per business unit, DLP policies splitting business vs. non-business connectors.
  2. CoE Starter Kit — Microsoft's CoE Starter Kit installed for maker inventory, app usage, orphan detection and admin alerts.
  3. Maker enablement — Tiered maker training (citizen, pro-citizen, pro-dev), with a path to production gated on review.
  4. Monthly review — Orphan apps, unused flows, premium connector usage, license waste — surfaced to Novacare for action.
When to use what

Power Apps vs. custom code — the honest comparison.

Power Platform is not a universal hammer. The frame below is the one Novasoft applies during the assessment so app candidates land on the right runtime.

Power Apps wins when…Custom code wins when…
Internal users only (employees, partners, vendors)Public consumer audience with branded UX requirements
Data already lives in Dataverse, SharePoint or Business CentralData needs a custom store the Microsoft connectors don't reach
Forms-and-tables business app with approvals and workflowHigh-volume transactional with low-latency UX (POS, control rooms)
Time-to-value matters more than pixel-perfect UIBrand-led design system needs unconstrained styling control
App lifetime is 1–5 years and will be revisedApp is a long-term core platform with predictable extensibility needs
One business unit owns the app and the dataApp spans multiple regulated estates with custom audit requirements
Measurable outcomes

Why a properly governed Power Platform earns three to five custom-code projects' worth.

Typical Novasoft Power Platform engagements, measured against custom-code alternative or against ungoverned citizen-development sprawl.

Faster time-to-production for forms-and-tables business apps vs. equivalent custom .NET or React build.

60%

Lower total cost of ownership over three years for apps shipped on Power Apps with Dataverse vs. custom web stack.

100%

Maker apps covered by the CoE inventory and DLP policies after the Center of Excellence Starter Kit lands.

2-way

Live Business Central integration through virtual tables — Power Apps read and write BC records natively.

FAQ · Common questions

Questions about Microsoft Power Platform with Novasoft.

What does the Novasoft Power Platform practice cover?

Power Apps (canvas and model-driven), Power Automate (cloud and desktop flows), Power BI (semantic models, Premium capacity, paginated reports), Copilot Studio (agents and topic-based bots), Power Pages (external portals) and Dataverse data modelling — plus the Center of Excellence governance that decides who can build what, where data lives and how apps reach production. Delivered across UAE, Saudi Arabia, India and the USA.

Should we use Power Apps or build a custom web app?

Power Apps wins when the app is a forms-and-tables business app for internal users, the data already lives in Dataverse or Business Central, and the value comes from speed-to-production rather than pixel-perfect UI. Custom code wins when the workload is consumer-facing, high-volume, or needs a UX Power Apps can't reach. Novasoft's assessment maps your app candidates to the right runtime — and we ship both.

How does Power Platform integrate with Business Central?

Three live patterns. (1) Business Central virtual tables in Dataverse — read and write BC records natively from a Power App. (2) Power Automate flows triggered by BC webhooks or scheduled API calls. (3) Power BI semantic models on top of BC analytics endpoints or Microsoft Fabric. Used together, Power Platform becomes the extension surface BC needs without modifying base BC code.

Do we need a Center of Excellence on day one?

Yes — even a lightweight one. Without DLP policies, environment strategy and a maker inventory, citizen development quietly creates an app sprawl that takes months to retire. Novasoft installs the Microsoft Center of Excellence Starter Kit, environments, DLP rules and a maker training track in the first 2–3 weeks, before any production app ships.

What are Copilot Studio agents and where do they help?

Copilot Studio agents are conversational AI agents that live inside Microsoft Teams, the web or Microsoft 365 Copilot — wired to your SharePoint, Dataverse or Business Central. Useful for HR onboarding, IT helpdesk, project status, vendor / customer FAQ and policy lookup. Novasoft ships agents with the governance rails (DLP, approval, lifecycle) in place before the first agent reaches a real user.

Do you offer managed Power Platform support after go-live?

Yes. Novacare 360° for Power Platform covers monthly app reviews, DLP and environment health checks, Power BI semantic model performance tuning, Copilot Studio agent supervision, license true-up and a maker enablement track. Available across UAE, KSA, India and USA time zones in English, Arabic and Hindi.
