Power Platform gives business users access to creating reports, applications, workflows and even chatbots, without the need to know how to code. World where everyone can become a citizen developer is an obvious advantage but can result in overloading your organization with countless, not enough managed data assets, apps and projects, forcing you to shadow IT. Microsoft notifies over 10 000 new power apps each month, and this number grows almost… exponentially.
To answer this new phenomenon we introduce Power Governance, ultimate solution which ensures the appropriate behavior in the valuation, creation, consumption and control of the Power platform, data, and analytics. Thanks to Power Governance, your organization will use all benefits of Power Platform without facing any of the side effects.

When governance becomes the necessity
Having a large-scale Power BI deployment in the enterprise level organization might lead to natural troubles with the efficient maintenance and the full adoption of the platform. The promise of the citizen development approach has an inherent risk that without proper governance and guidance, freedom to create reports might lead to risk related to data security, performance drop, data quality, consistency issues, and increased IT upkeep cost. Without proper Governance performance problems, lack of proper control, rework, and licensing cost increase becomes a possible threat.
