Strengthening Power Platform Governance

In today’s digitally-driven business environment, effectively managing and governing essential platforms is critical. The integration of Rencore Governance and Microsoft Center of Excellence (CoE) offers a sophisticated approach to overseeing Microsoft 365 services, with a focus on the Power Platform. This partnership aims to address the multifaceted challenges organizations face and provide solutions that are both robust and user-centric.

Just returning from a couple of weeks on the road, speaking at events in Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Manila, and Chicago (where the weather was much cooler) on the topic of governance, it was not surprising that almost everyone who visited our booths asked about governance around their Power Platform solutions. Many of them had rolled out, or experimented with Microsoft’s CoE – but across the board they shared the desire for something more actionable and automated. For that, Rencore Governance is an excellent fit, providing much more than simple reporting:

Deep Service Inventory and Clear Reporting

The Deep Service Inventory feature of Rencore Governance is integral to its uniqueness. It gathers extensive data from various admin centers and categorizes them into Object topics. This method results in a detailed analysis of how Objects interact, offering comprehensive insights across multiple cloud services. Additionally, the platform’s dynamic reports and dashboards facilitate clear, customizable reporting, ensuring that stakeholders maintain complete visibility and control over their M365 tenants.

Balancing Compliance and Access

The features of Simple Compliance and Continuous Access Review are pivotal in maintaining platform integrity and secure collaborations. They simplify complex compliance challenges and ensure that a balance between collaboration and control is maintained, which is vital for optimal business operations. The implementation of more than 100 fully customizable policy templates enables organizations to quickly initiate their governance plans and track compliance over time.

Automation and Tenant Segmentation

Advanced Automation within Rencore Governance allows organizations to implement intelligent workflows and streamline their governance processes. This feature, coupled with Tenant Segmentation, enables businesses with multiple geo-locations or subsidiaries to easily manage and govern their environments. These features alleviate administrative burdens and provide ground-level data, aiding in efficient collaboration and governance.

End User Inclusion with NOVA App

The NOVA App epitomizes End User Inclusion by centralizing self-service collaboration and ensuring control. It enables monitoring and analysis of adoption policies and reports, thus ensuring optimal usability across M365. The app allows for real-time insights into service usage and facilitates communication with stakeholders regarding policy and adoption.

Security and Cost Management

Security is paramount in Rencore Governance. The platform offers continuous monitoring against potential risks and provides clear security reports, detailing compliance scores. The integration also focuses on managing costs effectively. By leveraging customizable policy templates, organizations can monitor their license costs, prevent overspending, and reduce the Total Cost of Ownership of M365.

Integration with Microsoft CoE

The synergy between Rencore Governance and Microsoft CoE enhances the overall governance framework. Microsoft CoE, being a repository of best practices and standards, complements the features of Rencore Governance. This integration aligns governance practices with organizational goals, providing tailored solutions to meet unique business needs.

For Rencore partners, this integration opens up a myriad of opportunities. It provides a pathway to enhanced service offerings, greater customer satisfaction, and bolstered security and compliance. The combination of insights and automation leads to efficient and cost-effective governance solutions.

If you’re looking for a more comprehensive governance solution for your Power platform growth (sprawl?), the integration of Rencore Governance and Microsoft CoE may be just what you need. And for Partners looking for better ways to service their customers, it offers the opportunity to leverage a comprehensive suite of tools and features, ensuring secure, compliant, and efficient digital environments.
