Build robust, supportable automation with Microsoft Power Automate - approvals, integrations, notifications, and process orchestration with governance and reliability.
Power Automate is Microsoft’s workflow automation service that enables organisations to automate tasks and business processes across Microsoft 365, Power Platform, and connected services. Microsoft positions Power Automate as a way to build automated workflows using triggers, actions, approvals, and connectors - supporting both business-led automation and more advanced scenarios when engineered with the right patterns.
LW IT Solutions engineers Power Automate flows for reliability and longevity. We design flows with clear ownership, structured error handling, predictable concurrency behaviour, and an operational support model - so automation doesn’t become a fragile, undocumented dependency. Whether you are automating approvals, routing documents, synchronising data between systems, or building process orchestration around Power Apps, we deliver flows that are governed, measurable, and easy to support.

How It Works
- Discovery - confirm the process, stakeholders, constraints, and success measures.
- Design - define the flow architecture, error handling, security, and ownership model.
- Build - implement flows using solutions packaging and reusable components where appropriate.
- Test - validate happy paths, failure paths, permissions, and performance considerations.
- Release - controlled deployment and documentation; enablement for owners and support teams.
- Optimise - backlog-based improvements, monitoring refinement, and expansion to additional processes.
Engagement Options
- Single Flow - build a production-ready flow for one defined process
- Process Pack - multiple flows supporting a process area such as joiners or approvals
- Governance Uplift - standardise and stabilise an existing Power Automate estate
- Operate - ongoing support, monitoring refinement, and incremental enhancements
