The Data Foundation for Every Power Platform Solution.
We design, build and govern Dataverse environments for UK businesses — from initial schema design and security modelling to complex integrations, API development and ALM pipelines.
Your business data, governed and connected
Microsoft Dataverse is the secure, cloud-hosted data platform at the heart of Power Platform and Dynamics 365. It stores your business data in a structured, relational model with built-in security, auditing, business logic and a standards-based API — accessible from Power Apps, Power Automate, Power Pages, Power BI and Copilot Studio without custom integration work.
Unlike a raw database, Dataverse understands your business: relationships between tables, calculated fields, business rules that fire on create or update, server-side plugins, rollup columns and AI-generated insights are all first-class citizens — configured once and enforced consistently wherever your data is accessed.

From initial data model design to production-grade environments — we cover the full Dataverse lifecycle.
Data Model & Schema Design
Custom table design, column types, relationships (one-to-many, many-to-many), calculated fields, rollup columns and choice sets — built to reflect your real business processes and support future growth.
Security Model Design
Business unit hierarchy, security role design (table, row and column level), team-based access, Microsoft Entra ID group integration and hierarchy security — so the right people see only the right data.
Business Rules & Server-Side Logic
Business rules for no-code validation, Power Automate cloud flows for event-driven automation, and C# plug-ins or custom APIs for complex server-side logic that runs regardless of which client touches the data.
Integration & API Development
Dataverse Web API (OData), Dataverse SDK for .NET, custom APIs, virtual tables that surface external data inside Dataverse, Azure Data Factory pipelines, dual-write with Finance & Operations, and Power Automate connector flows.
Data Migration
Migration of legacy data from SQL Server, Access, Excel, SharePoint lists, legacy CRM platforms and CSV exports into Dataverse — with full data profiling, field mapping, transformation, cleansing and go-live validation.
ALM & Environment Management
Solution layering, managed solutions, publisher strategy, environment strategy (Dev / Test / UAT / Production), Power Platform pipelines or Azure DevOps for CI/CD, and environment variable management for configuration without code changes.
Dataverse for every type of UK organisation
SMBs replacing legacy systems
Migrating from Access databases, Excel workbooks or paper-based processes into a governed, scalable Dataverse data platform.
Nonprofits & charities
Case management, grant tracking, volunteer management and beneficiary records — built on Dataverse with the Microsoft nonprofit data model.
Dynamics 365 customers
Extending Dynamics 365 with custom Dataverse tables, business rules and Power Platform solutions that sit alongside your CRM or ERP data.
ISVs & product companies
Building commercial Power Platform solutions on Dataverse — including managed solution packaging, AppSource submission and multi-tenant deployment patterns.
Dataverse platform capabilities
A single platform for data storage, security, logic and integration across the full Power Platform ecosystem.
Relational Tables
Standard and custom tables with typed columns, lookup relationships, one-to-many and many-to-many associations — all with a consistent OData REST API.
Row & Column Security
Granular access control at table, record and field level. Security roles, teams, business units and field-level security profiles enforce who can read, write or delete each piece of data.
Real-Time Business Logic
Business rules, calculated columns, rollups, server-side plug-ins and custom APIs execute on the server — enforced consistently regardless of which app or API creates or modifies a record.
Audit & Compliance
Full audit history of every record change — who changed what and when — plus bulk delete jobs, data retention policies and GDPR-aligned data subject request support.
Virtual Tables
Surface data from external SQL databases, SharePoint, Azure or third-party APIs directly inside Dataverse — without copying data. Power Apps and Power Pages can query virtual tables exactly like native tables.
Copilot & AI Integration
Dataverse is the knowledge store for Copilot Studio agents and Microsoft 365 Copilot — enabling AI-powered search, summarisation and action across your business data with no custom retrieval layer required.
How we deliver your Dataverse environment
Discovery & Data Audit
We map your existing data sources, business processes and reporting requirements to define the Dataverse data model, environment strategy and integration scope before any build begins.
Schema & Security Design
We design the table structure, relationships, columns, business rules and security model — reviewed and agreed with your team before configuration begins.
Build & Integration
Environment setup, managed solution configuration, plug-in development, custom API creation, Power Automate integration flows and virtual table connectors — delivered in sprints with regular demos.
Data Migration & Validation
Data extraction, transformation, load and full reconciliation. We run parallel validation against your source systems to confirm data accuracy and completeness before go-live.
