Question 1

What do you deliver for Microsoft automation and integration?

Accepted Answer

We design and implement end to end automations and integrations using Power Automate and Azure Integration Services, including orchestration, APIs, event-driven flows, monitoring, and operational runbooks.

Question 2

When should we use Power Automate vs Azure Logic Apps?

Accepted Answer

Use Power Automate for user-facing workflow automation (approvals, notifications, M365 and app workflows). Use Logic Apps for integration-heavy, system-to-system workflows that need stronger engineering controls, isolation, and enterprise integration patterns.

Question 3

How do you ensure reliability for automations?

Accepted Answer

We build in retries, timeouts, idempotency where needed, structured error handling, and clear alerting. We also design for predictable recoveries so failures do not create duplicate actions or data drift.

Question 4

How do you handle approvals and human-in-the-loop steps?

Accepted Answer

We map decision points, define SLAs and escalation paths, and implement approvals with auditable outcomes. We also avoid bottlenecks by designing fallback routes and clear ownership.

Question 5

Can you integrate with on-premises systems?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We use the on-premises data gateway and integration patterns that fit your security model, then validate connectivity, throughput, and failure modes before go-live.

Question 6

How do you secure integrations and connections?

Accepted Answer

We apply least-privilege access, managed identities where possible, proper secret management, and environment separation. We also define who owns connections and how they are rotated and audited.

Question 7

How do you manage APIs securely?

Accepted Answer

We standardise APIs with consistent contracts, authentication, throttling, and logging, and where appropriate front them with API Management for governance, visibility, and lifecycle control.

Question 8

How do you monitor automations and integrations in production?

Accepted Answer

We implement dashboards and alerts for failures, latency, and volume, and provide runbooks for triage and recovery. The goal is operational visibility from day one.

Question 9

How do you prevent “flow sprawl” and keep automation maintainable?

Accepted Answer

We set naming, ownership, and packaging standards, define environment strategy, and establish guardrails for connectors and DLP. We also design reusable components to reduce duplication.

Question 10

What does the first phase look like?

Accepted Answer

We start with a short discovery to confirm outcomes, priority processes, and constraints, then deliver a thin end-to-end slice (trigger to outcome) with monitoring and support patterns in place, so scaling is repeatable.
