Spark Consulting Services: Workflow & Automation Solutions

Modern workers typically interact with an average of 11 different IT systems during their workday. This complexity can lead to inefficiencies and frustrations, as employees often need to enter the same data into multiple systems, wasting valuable time and resources.

Our workflow and automation solutions address these issues by streamlining business processes end to end. By simplifying and connecting various systems and tasks, we help your team work more efficiently and effectively. Our goal is to eliminate repetitive tasks and create seamless workflows, freeing up your valuable time and resources to focus on driving your business forward.

Workflow Automation Solutions

Building on Power Automate

Power Automate, part of the Power Platform, is Microsoft's leading low-code development platform. It allows us to quickly build enterprise-grade workflow and automation solutions, eliminating repetitive tasks and streamlining business processes. As an end-to-end cloud automation platform, Power Automate can automate tasks within departments or create complex inter-departmental and cross-company workflows, making it a comprehensive solution for all your automation needs.

Power Automate serves as the glue component of the Power Platform, working tirelessly in the background to coordinate activities between both systems and process stakeholders. These workflow processes can be:

  • Scheduled to run a set times/intervals (via a configurable timer).
  • Triggered by events such as the arrival of an email message, a file being created, or the creation or update of a record in a database table.
  • Called interactively from apps (e.g., Power Apps) or via the Microsoft Copilot.
Once a process trigger is identified, we can use the AI-powered Flow Designer tool to lay out your business logic step-by-step using a blend of conditional logic (built using Power Fx), loops, and callouts to business systems using pre-built connectors. The visual interface of the Flow Designer tool makes it easy for our process analysts to work closely with your team to develop and test the workflow logic.

One of the really powerful features of Power Automate is its best-in-class support for process and task mining. Even if your current processes are manual, we can use Process Mining to analyze your existing processes to collect performance metrics. From there, we can tap into the built-in AI features of Power Automate to create visual process maps, identify bottlenecks, and generate suggestions for process improvement.
