Manual processes, disconnected spreadsheets, repetitive approvals, clunky forms — these are symptoms of organisations that haven't yet discovered Microsoft Power Platform. Power Platform is Microsoft's suite of low-code tools that enables businesses to automate workflows, build custom apps, create intelligent chatbots and publish web portals — all within the Microsoft 365 and Azure ecosystem. Active BITS are Power Platform specialists based in Norwest, Sydney.

What's in Microsoft Power Platform?

  • Power Apps — Build custom business applications for web and mobile without heavy coding

  • Power Automate — Automate repetitive workflows, approvals and notifications

  • Power Pages — Create external-facing web portals connected to your data

  • Power Virtual Agents — Build intelligent chatbots for staff or customers

  • Power BI — Turn data into visual dashboards and business insights (see our Power BI service)

Real-World Use Cases We've Delivered

  • Leave request and approval automation replacing email chains

  • Asset management apps replacing spreadsheets

  • Onboarding portals for new employees with automated task assignment

  • Customer intake forms connected to CRM and SharePoint

  • Invoice and purchase order approval workflows

  • Field service apps for technicians working offline or on mobile

Power Platform Governance

Without governance, Power Platform can become a sprawl of unsupported apps and abandoned flows. Active BITS establishes Centre of Excellence (CoE) frameworks that bring structure to how Power Platform is used across your organisation — including environment strategy, DLP policies, app lifecycle management, and maker training programmes.

Why Power Platform?

If your organisation already holds Microsoft 365 licences, you likely have access to Power Platform capabilities at no additional cost. Active BITS helps you unlock that value — building solutions in weeks, not months, at a fraction of the cost of custom software development.
