Power Apps and Dataverse

PowerApps and Dataverse
At Buro Matei, we specialize in leveraging the Microsoft Power Platform, specifically Model-Driven Power Apps and Dataverse, to revolutionize data management for Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) projects

Our solutions replace fragmented tools like Excel spreadsheets and SharePoint Lists with centralized, scalable platforms that enable seamless collaboration, real-time updates, and process automation.

PowerApps is a platform for building custom business apps without needing advanced coding skills

It lets users create apps to fit specific business needs and connects to many data sources. Dataverse is the database behind PowerApps, storing and managing data in a structured way. It includes built-in features for security, organization, and connecting with other Microsoft tools.

Designed with EPC workflows in mind, our platforms connect every discipline and data entity, creating a single source of truth that ensures accuracy, consistency, and productivity

Whether you’re managing master deliverable lists, equipment tags, or procurement data, we provide systems that adapt to your organization’s needs while remaining fully secure within your Microsoft tenant.

Why Buro Matei

We have decades of hands-on experience in engineering, project management, procurement, and contract management ensure solutions tailored to the complexity of EPC workflows.

Unlike others who build Power Apps for isolated use cases—like time-off requests or invoice tracking—we design complete platforms that centralize all project data into one cohesive system.

Our solutions enable real-time updates across all project data—such as equipment tags, WBS, and deliverables—so teams can collaborate without manual reconciliation.

By replacing expensive third-party platforms with in-house solutions, we simplify licensing and integration while delivering full control over your data within your Microsoft tenant.

We design scalable, future-ready systems optimized for compliance, traceability, and adaptability, setting the foundation for next-generation EPC project delivery.

Inspired by CFIHOS standards, our datamodels and ontologies are further optimized and customized to meet the evolving needs of complex EPC projects.

Our Microsoft-certified team specializes in Model-Driven Power Apps, Dataverse, and the broader Microsoft ecosystem, ensuring your solutions are built and supported by industry-leading expertise.

Our solutions reflect a unique blend of technical and EPC expertise, from managing interconnected data to implementing structured workflows that reduce inefficiencies and improve productivity.

We empower engineers and non-technical users to create and adapt apps independently, fostering a culture of innovation and reducing dependency on IT support.

Challenges We Solve

Our Power Apps and Dataverse solutions address critical challenges faced by EPC organizations:

Disconnected tools like spreadsheets and SharePoint Lists fail to manage the complexity of interconnected EPC data, leading to inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and delayed decisions.

The overwhelming number of existing tools and platforms—whether in-house or third-party—often creates chaos, making it difficult to integrate systems and ensure seamless communication across workflows.

Third-party tools may address specific business or project needs but introduce challenges like licensing complexities, data ownership concerns, and integration limitations, particularly when working within a Microsoft tenant.

Manual spreadsheets, commonly used to bridge gaps, lack the functionality for automated data imports, cannot reliably incorporate master data or reference data, and often rely on outdated or inconsistent information.

Siloed workflows prevent collaboration across disciplines, causing misaligned deliverables, rework, and increased project risks.

Engineers spend significant time managing data instead of focusing on design and execution.

Sensitive project information lacks robust security and governance, exposing organizations to vulnerabilities without proper role-based controls and audit trails.
