Paul K space : Opening Capability by Integrating No-Code Solutions

Client has a technology that they already use

We have an Engineer in with them knowing that they can do more with it

From the experienced LBG team we know that the client would prove difficult to invest in discovery given recent experience

With Security and Policy being such a a key factor in the picture, a proof delivering an integrated solution even into dev would be - to say the least - a pain.. and slow!

We are aware that LBG have (Justin?) shown preference towards no-code and a more cost-sustainable implementation - or at least part-implementation model

so how can we get next to this tech and show them “we can help you do more.. and better”

If we can show them that without one addition or change to their use of policy - right now - we can also show them a better way of working

so - we could - piggyback off Policy usage (or standalone for demo) with a blanket Deny as they use and use that data to either make decisions for them (as they do all day long with financial decision calculation) - and make it so that it not only works today, but that they dont have to pay us to maintain it that would be a winner for them… if they would let us demo….

Given that we have a potential to convince LBG that we can extend their existing Policy setup by identifying a current Policy event that, being a blanket Deny, leads to process or workflow we can evaluate whether we could introduce a measurable change that because post-alert actions could require no security or traditional delays as we introduce the client to the potential options using Microsoft Power Platform

finding any process that utilises a Microsoft Connector or an Azure Connector to respond with automation or even to do something simple like create a cross-department approval flow (i know thats a pain there) could get us that all important branch back into the beast

If LBG are already using policy and we want them to see outside the box of whats possible, I thought that some work Jan mentioned a while back to customise actions based on the policy - so his example used the compliance state to alerting and monitoring

With this you can expand on the Function App to do certain things when specific changes are detected or you can create alerts from the LAW as required.

but depending on what those close to LBG want to chase with a higher likelihood of further engagement 2 options
