- Problem Statement
The client was rapidly adopting Power Platform tools across business units but lacked governance standards, leading to:
- Over 300 unmanaged Power Apps and Flows in the default environment
- No visibility into app owners, purpose, or compliance risks

Key Features:
Environment strategy with Dev/Test/Prod segregation
Automated inventory of all apps and flows via CoE Kit
Maker onboarding workflows with mandatory training and policy acknowledgment
Automated DLP (Data Loss Prevention) policy enforcement
Executive dashboards for adoption metrics, risk visibility, and license optimization
