Power Platform without grip = chaos
“We just wanted to digitize faster. Now we have a jumble of apps.”
Recognizable? More and more SMEs are discovering the power of Power Platform to make processes faster and smarter with low-code and AI. Sounds ideal, but in practice we see many organizations doing it as follows:
✅ Apps everywhere
✅ Flows with no owner
✅ Connectors no one controls
✅ Data flowing through unclear paths
✅ No one knows who built what
And in the meantime? That quietly costs money. Every month.
No overview = risk
Power Platform is designed to accelerate. But without proper governance it quickly feels like you’re behind the times. Employees are building apps and automations – sometimes even without IT’s knowledge.
What happens if that colleague goes on vacation or leaves employment? Or if sensitive data is shared through an insecure connector?
A shame. Because with a few clever ground rules, you can take advantage of the speed without it getting out of hand.
What SMEs often tell us
We asked entrepreneurs and IT leaders from SMEs. What is your biggest challenge with Power Platform?
👉 The poll shows:
-
🔒 45% cite Security & AVG/NIS2 as biggest concern
-
🌫️ 27% struggle with Shadow IT and sprawl
-
❓ 18% suspect problems but are not sure
-
📉 Only 9% say, “We have good oversight.”
Innovation should not be a risk
At ALTA-ICT, we help SMEs get the Power Platform back in line. Without inhibiting innovation. Because it’s a shame to miss opportunities just because you’ve lost your grip.
With clear agreements, clear guidelines and visibility into what is happening, IT remains invisible when it needs to be. But governance palpable, where it is needed.
