SCALES
Power Apps

Business apps in weeks — on standards your CIO will sign.

A productised app factory on top of Microsoft Power Platform.

Every department has a backlog of small apps that would unlock real productivity. SCALES turns that backlog into a governed flow of releases — reusable components, a shared design system, and ALM that meets enterprise security from day one.

Why now

Citizen development is real. Citizen governance is rare.

“We have 140 Power Apps in the tenant. I do not know which ones our auditors will ask about first.”
Group CIO, Nordic retail group
Power Apps lowers the cost of building software — and raises the cost of running it badly. Without a shared design system, reusable components and ALM, every department reinvents the same login, the same data layer, the same audit hole. The result is a hundred prototypes, not a capability.
  • No shared building blocks

    Each app reinvents navigation, identity and data access. Maintenance scales linearly with the backlog.

  • Design debt

    Inconsistent UI signals that the platform is amateur. Adoption stalls before the app proves its value.

  • Unmanaged release

    Apps move from dev to prod by copy-paste. No history, no rollback, no audit trail.

  • Security as an afterthought

    Permissions wired per app, not per role. The first audit finding is rarely the last.

What we do

Everything you need to run Power Apps as a capability.

Design system for Power Apps

A SCALES-built component library — navigation, forms, tables, theming — so every app feels like one platform.

Reference architectures

Canvas, model-driven and Dataverse-first blueprints aligned to Dynamics 365 and your data estate.

ALM & environments

Source-controlled solutions, automated pipelines, and environment strategy that matches how your business actually releases.

Security baseline

DLP policies, managed identities and role-based access — wired in once, inherited by every new app.

Maker enablement

We coach your business makers to ship on the standards — not against them. The Center of Excellence becomes a service, not a bottleneck.

Run & evolve

Continuous monitoring, license optimisation and a quarterly value review with the executive sponsor.

How we engage

From backlog to a release cadence.

  1. 01 · Intake

    A single front door for app requests. We size value, sequence the backlog and kill the apps the business does not actually need.

  2. 02 · Design
    Standards & components

    We install the design system, ALM pipelines and security baseline — once, then reused on every release.

  3. 03 · Deliver
    First wave in 90 days

    Three to five production apps shipped on the standards your IT and security teams will adopt without exception.

  4. 04 · Sustain
    App factory as a service

    We run the pipeline, coach your makers, and report value to the executive committee every quarter.
