Governed Citizen Development: Australia's Power Platform Specialists
Most organisations adopt the Power Platform one product at a time - a few Power BI reports here, a Power App there, a handful of Power Automate flows - until it sprawls without a strategy or guardrails. Report Simple brings it together. As a Microsoft Power Platform consulting partner, we help Australian organisations get governed, joined-up value from Power BI, Power Apps, Power Automate and Dataverse, rather than disconnected point solutions. We set the roadmap, the governance and the architecture so citizen development accelerates the business safely. The result is a platform that compounds in value as you build, not one that quietly turns into technical debt.
Joined-Up Platform
We connect Power BI, Power Apps, Power Automate and Dataverse into one governed platform, so your investment compounds rather than fragmenting into disconnected point solutions.
Safe Self-Build
We put environments, data policies and a security model around citizen development, so your staff build apps and automations within safe boundaries while IT keeps full control.
Contain the Sprawl
Monitoring and lifecycle management track what is built, who owns it and where risk is emerging, so the platform stays governed as adoption grows instead of becoming shadow IT.
A Clear Roadmap
You get a prioritised roadmap sequencing the highest-value Power Platform opportunities against the governance you need, so the platform grows with purpose rather than one ad-hoc build at a time.
Senior, Local Team
Your work is delivered by senior, Australian Microsoft specialists who understand how the whole Power Platform fits together, not a single-product contractor learning on your time.
Our Power Platform Consulting Services
Power Platform Roadmap & Strategy
Start with a plan for the whole platform, not another one-off build. We assess how your organisation uses Power BI, Power Apps, Power Automate and Dataverse today, where the value and the risk sit, and where the platform should go. You receive a prioritised roadmap that sequences the highest-value opportunities against the governance you need, so investment in the Power Platform compounds instead of fragmenting into disconnected projects.
Governed Citizen Development
Let your business build, safely. Citizen development unlocks huge value, but without guardrails it creates security gaps and unmanageable sprawl. We establish the environments, data policies, security model and review process that let staff build apps and automations within safe boundaries. Your people move faster while IT keeps control, so the platform accelerates the business rather than becoming the next shadow-IT problem to clean up.
Power Apps & Power Automate Development
Build the apps and automations your team cannot get to. Where citizen developers reach their limits, our specialists deliver the more complex Power Apps and Power Automate solutions - the integrations, the tricky logic, the work that needs to be robust. We build on the governed foundation so what we deliver fits the wider platform and stays maintainable. You get professional delivery where it matters and enablement everywhere else.
Dataverse & Data Architecture
Give the platform a data foundation it can trust. Dataverse and the data behind your apps and reports need proper modelling, security and integration to scale. We design your Dataverse environment and connect it to your wider data estate, so apps, automations and Power BI all draw on consistent, governed data. This is what turns a collection of Power Platform tools into a coherent system rather than a set of isolated silos.
Governance, Security & Managed Support
Keep the platform healthy as it grows. We put monitoring, security and lifecycle management around your Power Platform - tracking what is built, who owns it, and where risk is emerging - and provide ongoing support as adoption spreads. New makers are onboarded, sprawl is contained, and the estate stays governed. Many clients run this as a managed service so the platform keeps delivering without becoming a burden on internal IT.

Power Platform Consulting FAQs
How much does Power Platform consulting cost?
We quote Power Platform engagements as a fixed price after a short discovery, rather than open-ended day rates. The cost depends on the scope of the roadmap and what you build first, and ongoing support runs on a monthly retainer. Specialist Australian consultants are around $200 to $250 or more per hour for ad-hoc work.
For how we structure pricing, see our Power BI pricing page.
Are you a Microsoft Power Platform partner in Australia?
Yes - Report Simple is an Australian Microsoft consulting partner working across the full Power Platform: Power BI, Power Apps, Power Automate and Dataverse. Our team is local, senior and Microsoft-focused, so you get specialists who understand how the products fit together rather than a single-product contractor. We deliver on the platform every day for Australian mid-market and enterprise clients.
How do we control Power Platform sprawl and governance?
Power Platform sprawl is controlled with the right environments, data loss prevention policies, security model and review process - not by banning citizen development. We put guardrails in place so staff can build apps and automations within safe boundaries while IT keeps visibility and control. Monitoring tracks what is built and who owns it, so the estate stays governed as adoption grows rather than turning into shadow IT.
Should we use Power BI, Power Apps or Power Automate?
Most organisations need a combination: Power BI for reporting and analytics, Power Apps for custom business applications, and Power Automate for workflow automation, all sharing data through Dataverse. The value comes from using them together on a governed foundation rather than as disconnected tools. We help you decide where each fits and how they join up.
Explore the individual services: Power Apps consulting and Power Automate consulting.
Do we need Dataverse for the Power Platform?
Not always, but Dataverse becomes valuable once your apps and automations need a secure, scalable and governed place to store and share data. It gives the Power Platform a proper data foundation with security, relationships and integration, rather than data scattered across SharePoint lists and spreadsheets. We design your Dataverse environment and connect it to your wider data estate so apps, automations and Power BI all draw on consistent, governed data.
