The Ask
The client contacted us to develop a reporting system that would offer oversight on the deployment of the power platform within their organization.
The Challenge
The client employed multiple staff members who had created different applications and data flows utilizing the Power Platform. Nevertheless, they acknowledged the possible risk of data leakage beyond the organization. They pursued a solution that would offer insight into the quantity of active applications and flows within the enterprise, the connectors they employed, and an evaluation of which connectors could present a security threat.
The Solution
To obtain preliminary insights regarding the Power Platform tools currently in use, we implemented a pre-configured Power BI solution provided by Microsoft. We tailored this report to collect comprehensive information about the client’s Power Platform environments. Furthermore, we improved the report by classifying connectors and visualising the environments, applications, and flows that utilized connectors across various environments. This offered a broad overview, along with the functionality for users to delve into specific environments to explore more detailed data.
The Outcome
customized Power BI report offered extensive insight into the client’s Power Platform ecosystem, allowing them to track essential metrics including the count of environments, applications, and flows that utilize multi-environment connectors. This solution provided a user-friendly, overarching perspective with the capability for in-depth drill-through analysis, assisting the client in reducing potential data risks and enhancing the governance of their Power Platform resources.
