Analysis & Documentation of Existing Systems — inventory of your Microsoft landscape.

Complete capture of what exists technically. Apps, customizations, integrations, license usage, permissions. With devonso for Power Platform. You get an analyzable inventory database and a picture of your Microsoft reality — the foundation for any modernization, consolidation, or compliance question.

For Managing Directors · what-works, what-becomes-debt

Your Microsoft stack — translated into euros. What carries the business, what becomes technical debt?

Fixed-price analysis (prices on request) with a clear outcome: which apps and flows are in productive use, which are orphaned and burning license cost, where the biggest architectural risks lie. The result is a management-ready report — no PowerPoint theater. You know where you really stand before the next license renewal or modernization decision.

For Department Heads · assessment matrix for the steering committee

You need to justify modernization internally — with data, not gut feeling.

We deliver the structured assessment matrix per app and process: business criticality, technical state, license dependency, modernization effort, risk score. Documented outcome report incl. business-case skeleton for CFO and procurement — defensible in the steering committee. A Discovery Spike is the typical first engagement, cleanly documented, with concrete recommendations instead of open consulting accounts.

For IT Leadership · code smell and ALM maturity

devonso deep scan plus manual architecture assessment — directly with the architect.

Code-smell analysis in plugins and JavaScript web resources, solution layering audit, ALM pipeline maturity (Azure DevOps / GitHub Actions / Power Platform Pipelines), DORA metrics (lead time, deployment frequency, change failure rate, MTTR), tenant hygiene with DLP policy gap list, permission model consistency, integration endpoint inventory. You talk directly to the responsible architect.

What we inventory

Nine dimensions, fully captured.

A Microsoft landscape consists of more than just apps. For the inventory to serve as a basis for decisions, we cover all nine dimensions.

Apps

Model-driven apps, canvas apps, Pages sites, Teams apps, classic SharePoint apps. Per entry: owner, last change, activity index, license requirement.

Customizations

Solutions, entities, fields, relationships, forms, views, dashboards, sitemaps. Inventory with complexity and dependency assessment.

Plugins

Plug-in assemblies, registered steps, custom actions, custom APIs. Per entry: trigger, owner, currency, risk flag.

Flows

Power Automate cloud flows, desktop flows, classic workflows, business process flows. Status (active / failed / orphaned), run frequency, endpoints.

Data models

Dataverse schema, SharePoint lists, SQL links, custom tables. Relationships, volume, growth rate, storage consumption.

Integrations

Interfaces to third-party systems: ERP, DMS, webshop, banking. Connectors, Logic Apps, Azure Functions, direct DB access. With endpoint inventory.

Licenses

Allocation per user, add-ons, premium connector usage, capacity usage, NCE dates, unused seats.

Permissions

Security roles, business units, teams, field-level security, record sharing. Audit on consistency and compliance maturity.

Tenant hygiene

Orphaned apps, unused environments, expired connectors, missing DLP policies, inactive maker accounts. List of concrete cleanup items.

Three packages

Single Tenant, Mid-Complex or Multi-Tenant / Enterprise.

Which tier fits depends on tenant count, maker population, and integration density. In the initial conversation we settle the classification — binding before contract signature.

Fixed price

Single Tenant

Price on request (net)

One tenant, manageable complexity. Up to 100 users, up to 30 apps, up to 50 flows, clear permission structure. devonso scan plus manual analysis, inventory as Excel and CSV.

Most common case
Fixed price

Mid-Complex

Price on request (net)

1–2 tenants, mixed apps and flows, multiple integrations, evolved permission model. 100–500 users, citizen-development activity, multiple environments.

Fixed price

Multi-Tenant / Enterprise

Price on request (net)

Multiple tenants, international license mix, dense integration landscape, regulated industries. 500+ users, subsidiary structures, independent maker communities.

Output

Four delivery artifacts as a decision foundation.

1. Inventory database

Structured data in Excel and CSV — one table per component type with relevant attributes. Importable into Power BI, Tableau, or your own BI tools. Belongs to you, no license dependency.

2. Architecture diagrams

Visualization of the Microsoft landscape at multiple levels: tenant structure, environment topology, integration map, data flow overview. Editable in Lucid or draw.io.

3. Risk heatmap

Severity-classified findings mapped to components — what's critical, what's on the watchlist, what's unremarkable. Foundation for prioritization in modernization or consolidation.

4. Optimization recommendations

Concrete proposals: tenant hygiene actions, license optimization, integration consolidation, permission cleanup. Per recommendation an effort indication and expected benefit.

Frequently asked questions

What we clarify before every analysis.

How does this differ from Health Check and Take-Over?

A Health Check is a short, focused diagnosis with risk assessment. A Take-Over Assessment is a structured capture before an engagement handover — with a handover recommendation per component. The Analysis of Existing Systems is broader: a complete inventory of your entire Microsoft landscape at tenant level, without a handover context. The goal is the inventory database, not the handover.

What is devonso and how does it help?

devonso is our internally developed tool for Power Platform tenant analysis. It scans a tenant in a structured way, collects data on apps, flows, environments, connectors, maker activity, and DLP status, and exports the result as an analyzable database. Without devonso we'd have to assemble this data manually from PowerShell scripts and admin-center clicks — with devonso the data is produced reproducibly in a fraction of the time.

Can you also inventory Azure subscriptions?

Yes, when the Azure usage is clearly tied to Microsoft Cloud — Logic Apps, Functions, API Management, Azure AD, Key Vault, storage accounts with cloud relevance. Pure Azure infrastructure inventory (Virtual Networks, AKS, IaaS VMs without Microsoft Cloud relevance) is not our core business — specialists are better there. In the initial conversation we clarify where the boundary makes sense.

Do we receive the inventory database?

Yes. The inventory is delivered as an Excel database and analyzable CSV exports — it belongs to you, without usage restrictions. You can import the inventory into your own BI tool (Power BI, Excel, Tableau) or use it as a foundation for your own reporting logic. On request we build a Power BI dashboard on top of the inventory database.

How current does the inventory stay?

A point-in-time snapshot is typically outdated after 6–12 months — Microsoft landscapes change continuously. If you want to keep the inventory current, we offer two paths: annual re-analysis at a reduced fixed price or devonso as an ongoing service (monthly re-scans, automatic drift detection). Both paths are separate engagements — the initial analysis commits you to nothing further.
