BD-S

Power Platform

Power Apps that replace spreadsheets, forms and legacy databases

Power Apps is the fastest route to a proper application for processes that never justified custom development. BD-S builds apps that hold up in production: modelled data, security roles, ALM and support.

The problem it solves

Why organisations look at Power Apps

  • Processes without a system

    Registers, requests, inspections and approvals run on spreadsheets and email.

  • Legacy apps nobody can change

    Access databases, InfoPath forms and ageing custom apps that are risky to touch.

  • Apps built without foundations

    Well-meaning maker apps with no data model, security review or owner.

Where BD-S adds value

More than a product install

Model-driven where data matters

Dataverse-backed apps with proper security, audit and relationships for anything that is a system of record.

Canvas where experience matters

Tailored, mobile-friendly interfaces for field, front-line and task-specific work.

Engineering discipline

Solutions, environments, pipelines, testing and documentation as standard.

Copilot-ready

Apps designed so Copilot Studio agents and AI Builder can work with the same data.

Part of the wider Microsoft ecosystem

Power Apps connect to Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365 and hundreds of services through standard connectors. BD-S builds custom connectors and Azure APIs when a system is not covered.

Governance and security

Built to be governed

  • Environment strategy with separated development, test and production
  • Data loss prevention policies and connector classification
  • Solution-based ALM with pipelines and approval gates
  • Ownership, support model and lifecycle defined before go-live

Adoption and managed support

After go-live

Apps are supported under the managed service with a support desk, release management and prepaid capacity for enhancements, so an app keeps pace with the process it serves.
