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 mistake 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.
