Case Studies
Structured investigations of technology and AI decisions — the problem, the options considered, the architecture, the trade-offs and the recommendation.
Modernizing an Enterprise SharePoint & Power Platform Ecosystem
Consolidating fragmented collaboration, identity and automation into one governed Microsoft 365 platform
An anonymized architecture study of a large SharePoint estate that grew by accretion: how to consolidate information architecture, bring shadow automation under governance, and modernize without a big-bang migration.
Getting a Business Process Off Email and Spreadsheets
A capital expenditure approval, rebuilt on Power Platform — and the argument for not building an app at all
Every organisation has a process that runs on a shared workbook and a mail thread. This is a practitioner view of rebuilding one on Power Platform: where the real complexity turns out to be, why the data model matters more than the app, and how to tell when the honest answer is "do not build this".
When Point-to-Point Integrations Stop Scaling
Moving from direct connections between Microsoft 365 and line-of-business systems to an event-driven layer on Azure
Direct connections are the right call for the first few integrations and the wrong one by the twentieth. A study of the failure modes that show up at that point — silent failures, duplicate writes, Graph throttling — and what an event-driven layer on Azure does and does not fix.
Designing an Enterprise GenAI Assistant with RAG and Human-in-the-Loop Governance
Identity-aware retrieval, an honest comparison against plain search, and where autonomy should stop
A hypothetical architecture study for an internal GenAI assistant over Microsoft 365 content: why retrieval-augmented generation usually beats fine-tuning, where classic search is still the better answer, and why agentic autonomy is the point at which risk stops being linear.
