Engineering expertise / Business applications

Business apps, reporting and workflow automation.

UTIS builds Microsoft Power Platform applications, customer portals, approval workflows and reporting connected to enterprise data. We cover architecture, permissions, data connections and deployment using Power Pages, Power Apps, Power Automate and Power BI. Engage a technical architect alongside your team or scope an application project with clear validation and support responsibilities.

Business applications

Connect the request to the action.

  1. Understand the task

    Map the business workflow.

  2. Define permissions

    Agree who can see and do what.

  3. Build the application

    Connect actions and review releases.

Conceptual workflow. Scope, validation and delivery responsibilities are agreed for each engagement.

Your priorities

Problems we help solve

These are common reasons to bring UTIS into the work.

01

A prototype needs to become a supported application.

Permissions, data connections, deployment and maintenance need to be planned before more users depend on it.

02

Manual lookups and approvals slow the team.

People may be copying information and sending notifications between systems that do not work together.

03

An app depends on data the team cannot change.

The reporting or workflow needs a reliable way to use information from existing source systems.

Our contribution

What can UTIS build with Power Platform?

+

Design customer portals

A Power Pages portal for an energy company progressed from proof of concept to implementation with a part-time UTIS technical architect.

+

Plan security and application updates

UTIS was responsible for that portal’s architecture, permissions and application lifecycle management—the process for deploying and updating the application.

+

Automate business workflows

Delivered work includes approval workflows and a Power App that replaces manual delivery lookups and notifications.

+

Connect apps to reporting data

Build data models for Power BI and Power Apps, including reporting that continued to evolve during a freeze on changes to an enterprise resource planning system.

Before we start

Frequently asked questions

What to expect when you work with UTIS.

Can we start with architecture support?

Yes. The customer-portal engagement used a part-time technical architect. We can discuss the expertise your team needs or scope a complete application project.

Can the application use our existing enterprise data?

Yes. We assess the source systems and access requirements, then define the data connections and controls needed for the application.

What does architecture support cover?

In the portal engagement for an energy company, UTIS was responsible for architecture, permissions and the process for deploying and updating the application. We agree the responsibilities your project needs.
