Test the Power Platform with a business PoC
Many organizations are curious about Microsoft Power Platform, and for good reasons. The promise of low-code apps, automated workflows, AI capabilities, and easy data visualization is hard to ignore. But knowing where to start — or how to prove value before scaling is often the most challenging part.
That’s where the Power Platform Proof of Concept (PoC) can make all the difference.
Why the Power Platform is on every CIO´s radar
Microsoft’s Power Platform, including Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI, and Power Virtual Agents, enables companies to build scalable business apps and automations with little to no code.
It’s already embedded in the Microsoft ecosystem you’re using every day:
- Connected to Microsoft 365 and Teams
- Integrated with Dynamics 365 CRM and ERP
- Backed by Azure and Dataverse
But while the tools are accessible, the use cases must be relevant and the outcomes measurable. A Power Platform PoC helps bridge that gap — turning curiosity into business value, fast.
What is a Power Platform PoC?
A Power Platform PoC is a short, focused engagement where AlfaPeople helps your business identify a process challenge, scope a solution, and build a working prototype in a matter of days or weeks. It’s not a training session or a slide deck; it’s a real app or workflow created in your environment, using your data and solving your problem.
When should you consider a PoC?
You should consider a Power Platform PoC if:
- You have a manual, repetitive process that slows down teams.
- Your employees are using Excel workarounds or email chains to get things done.
- You want to validate the platform’s potential before scaling company-wide.
- You’re exploring Copilot or AI Builder but want a controlled start.
- You want to show business leaders a tangible outcome from innovative investments.
What´s included in the AlfaPeople PoC?
Here’s how our PoC process typically works:
1. Ideation and process mapping
We work with your business and IT stakeholders to identify a use case that is manageable, real, and high-impact. Common examples include approval workflows, mobile apps for data capture, or dashboards that pull insights from disconnected sources.
2. Technical assessment
We assess your environment (e.g., Microsoft licensing, security model, connectors), verify data availability, and ensure the use case is feasible within your infrastructure.
3. Solution build
Our team configures or co-builds a working Power App, Flow, or dashboard, often utilizing prebuilt components, best practices, and Copilot-generated logic to expedite development.
4. Demo and feedback loop
You see the solution in action, test it with stakeholders, and get recommendations on how to scale, secure, and refine the idea further.
5. Roadmap proposal
If you’re ready to move forward, we provide a roadmap for broader rollout or handover to your internal team for enhancement.
Business value in days, not months
What makes a PoC so effective is its speed and focus. Rather than spending months planning a significant transformation, you can identify tangible value in a single process — and use that success to build momentum.
Recent use cases include:
- A mobile Power App to manage equipment inspections in the field.
- An approval workflow that automates vendor onboarding.
- A Power BI dashboard consolidating KPIs from CRM, ERP, and Excel.
In each case, the result was a working solution that inspired the organization to scale Power Platform adoption with confidence.
