Why Australian Enterprises Need the CoE Starter Kit
With the rapid adoption of Microsoft Power Platform across Australia, many IT departments are struggling with "shadow IT"-hundreds of unmanaged apps and flows created by citizen developers. The Center of Excellence (CoE) Starter Kit is Microsoft's answer to this challenge.
For Australian government agencies (like state health departments) and enterprise sectors (such as mining in WA or finance in Sydney), compliance with local data residency laws (like the Privacy Act 1988 or State Records Act) is non-negotiable. The CoE Kit provides the visibility and governance controls necessary to ensure citizen development happens safely and securely within your tenant.
Our CoE Implementation Strategy
1. Admin & Core (Inventory)
We sync your entire Power Platform tenant into a central Dataverse environment. Get immediate Power BI dashboards showing exactly who is building what, which connectors are used, and identifying orphaned apps.
2. Governance & Compliance
Establish robust Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies and environment routing. We help you enforce compliance workflows, automatically requiring makers to provide business justifications for highly-used apps.
3. Nurture & Adoption
Foster a thriving maker community. We configure the Maker Assessment tools, community hubs, and training templates to upskill your Australian workforce while adhering to best practices.
Advanced ALM & DevOps Integration
For mature Power Platform teams, moving solutions between Development, Test, and Production environments manually is risky. We deploy the ALM Accelerator and Power Platform Pipelines to automate deployments using Azure DevOps.
- Code repository integration (Azure Repos or GitHub)
- Automated solution unpacking and connection reference mapping
- Managed environment controls
