Power Platform consulting for UK organisations, built and governed properly
Sunflower Lab is a Microsoft Solution Partner with a London office in Mayfair. We build and govern Power Apps, Power Automate, Dataverse and Power BI solutions for UK teams, so the Microsoft 365 licences you already pay for start earning their keep.
What is Power Platform consulting?
Power Platform consulting is specialist help to plan, build, secure and govern Microsoft Power Apps, Power Automate, Dataverse and Power BI. For UK organisations it also covers a licensing review, UK GDPR aware configuration and a platform your own IT team can run after handover.
Local consulting, global delivery
Senior consultants who know the UK market and work in your hours from our London office, backed by proven US leadership and a global delivery team that brings real speed and scale.
One joined-up engagement: local accountability, governed centrally, delivered at scale.
You're on Microsoft 365. Much of Power Platform may already be yours.
Power Platform is included, or close to it, in many Microsoft 365 plans. Meanwhile spreadsheets, manual approvals and ungoverned apps have filled the gap.
Manual work that should be automated
Approvals, document routing and invoices still run on email and memory. Power Automate could run them unattended.
Spreadsheets doing an app's job
Critical processes live in fragile shared workbooks with no validation, no audit trail and one person who understands the formulas.
Apps sprawling with no governance
Staff build apps and flows that nobody owns, secures or backs up. It is a growing risk your IT and compliance teams can't see.
Are you using all your Microsoft licensing benefits?
Power Platform is bundled into many Microsoft 365 plans, yet the automation, apps and dashboards you're entitled to often sit switched off. So work stays manual and budgets get spent on tools you may already own.
- → We review what your current licences actually include
- → We switch on the capabilities you already own first
- → You only spend on premium licences when there's a real gap
Often included, rarely switched on
- ✓ Power Automate: approvals & workflow
- ✓ Power Apps: custom business apps
- ✓ Dataverse: one secure data layer
- ✓ Power BI: live operational dashboards
- ✓ Standard connectors to M365 & more
- ✓ Copilot features across Microsoft 365
Exact entitlements depend on your plan. We confirm yours on the review.

Real outcomes for operations, finance and logistics teams
A sample of the kind of Power Platform work we deliver for mid-market organisations. We'll walk through relevant examples on your assessment call.
Logistics ops dashboard
Replaced weekly manual Excel reporting across a multi-site operation with a live Power BI dashboard. Recurring report-building time cut to zero.
Custom field Power App
Built an enterprise Power App to replace paper and spreadsheet data capture for a field team, live inside six weeks with offline support.
Approval automation
Automated a multi-step approval and document-routing process that took hours of chasing. It now completes in minutes, with a full audit trail.
From "we should automate this" to live, in weeks
Assess
We scope the right solution (Apps, Automate, BI or a combination) and the governance it needs.
Design
A clear blueprint, data model and environment plan, costed in £ before we build.
Build
We build, integrate and test. Most projects go live within 4 to 8 weeks.
Govern & support
CoE, documentation, training and support in UK hours so your IT team can own it with confidence.
Many teams get most of the way there, then stall
Internal teams can start a Power Platform build. Shipping it securely, integrating it and governing it at scale is where projects stall, and where a certified partner earns its fee.
| Consideration | With Sunflower Lab | Fully in-house |
|---|---|---|
| Time to live solution | 4 to 8 weeks | Often months, or stalls |
| Governance & DLP from day one | Built in | Usually an afterthought |
| Integration with D365 / Azure / SQL | Standard | Steep learning curve |
| Documentation & handover | Always | Rarely complete |
| Your IT team maintains it after | Yes, we enable them | Depends on one person |

Power Platform consulting in the UK, answered
Do we need Power Apps, Power Automate or Power BI?
Often a combination, and the free assessment is how we decide. We scope the right tools to your process and budget instead of selling tools you do not need. Sometimes one flow solves the problem. Sometimes it is a governed platform across the whole organisation, with apps, automation and reporting on one data layer.
Isn't Power Platform already included in our Microsoft 365?
Much of it is, or it costs little on top of your plan. Premium connectors and Dataverse can need additional licensing. We confirm what your current Microsoft 365 plan covers during the licence review, then switch on what you already own before recommending any new spend.
Do you have an office in London?
Yes. Our London office is at Berkeley Square House, 2nd Floor, Berkeley Square, Mayfair, London W1J 6BD. Your project is led by senior consultants working UK hours, backed by our US leadership and global delivery team. You can book a video call or ask to meet at the Mayfair office when you request your assessment.
Do you work with organisations outside London?
Yes. We work with organisations across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Most scoping, build and support runs by video in UK working hours, with in-person workshops by arrangement. Location does not change the process or the pricing, which is quoted in pounds sterling excluding VAT.
How much does Power Platform consulting cost in the UK?
Typical mid-market project builds run from £8,000 to £24,000 at a fixed scope, covering integration, testing and go-live. Ongoing governance and support runs from £1,200 to £6,500 a month. Figures exclude VAT and Microsoft licensing, and we confirm a precise quote on your assessment call.
What does Power Platform governance involve?
A Centre of Excellence, separate development, test and production environments, Data Loss Prevention policies that control which connectors can talk to each other, and licensing governance. These guardrails stop apps and flows built by staff from becoming ungoverned shadow IT that nobody owns, secures or backs up.
Can you integrate Power Platform with our other systems?
Yes. We integrate with Dynamics 365, Azure, SharePoint, SQL Server and third-party systems through APIs and custom connectors. Your apps, flows and dashboards then work against one connected data layer instead of separate spreadsheets and exports.
How do you handle UK GDPR and data residency?
We design with UK GDPR in mind and configure Microsoft tenants for UK or EU data residency where your requirements call for it. Role-based security, audit trails and environment separation are part of the build, and we document the setup so your compliance and IT teams can review it.
We tried building it ourselves and stalled. Can you help?
Yes, and it is common. Internal teams often get a long way, then hit integration, performance or governance walls. We specialise in getting Power Platform projects shipped, secured and handed back, so your team keeps ownership of the solution without depending on one person.
