As the adoption of Microsoft Power Platform accelerates, enterprises are seeing a surge in citizen-developed apps—solutions built by business users to solve local problems quickly. While this decentralization drives innovation, it can also lead to sprawl, redundancy, and security risks without proper oversight. Establishing robust governance is essential to ensure that citizen development enhances rather than undermines enterprise IT.

Governance involves more than setting restrictions. It’s about creating a structured environment where innovation thrives within defined boundaries. This includes setting policies for data usage, environment management, app lifecycle, and access controls—alongside support and training to empower users responsibly.

An enterprise Power Platform governance and Center of Excellence consulting company helps organizations build this foundation. These consultants provide the playbooks, toolkits, and expertise needed to create a Center of Excellence (CoE) that balances flexibility with control. They align governance strategies with business needs, enabling safe scaling of low-code adoption.

With a well-defined governance model and a proactive CoE, enterprises gain the confidence to scale Power Platform usage across teams without sacrificing compliance or quality. This approach turns isolated successes into a managed, enterprise-wide automation program—delivering innovation at scale with visibility, support, and sustainability.
