A Partnership Built on Technical Rigour

We don't just provide recommendations – we work alongside you to design, implement, and optimise technical solutions that deliver lasting value

At Trustpoint Consulting, our approach is rooted in systematic methodology and hands-on technical expertise. We combine enterprise-grade systems knowledge with practical implementation experience to deliver solutions that work in the real world, not just on paper.

The PRIME Framework

Our proven PRIME framework guides every engagement, ensuring systematic progression from strategic planning through continuous evolution.

A structured methodology applied whether we deliver directly or oversee third-party providers.

Plan

We assess your current state and define the target architecture

We begin by understanding your business requirements and translating them into clear technical objectives. This phase establishes what success looks like and creates a realistic roadmap to get there.

Discovery & Assessment

  • Current state technical assessment (M365 tenant review, infrastructure audit, system inventory)
  • Business process mapping and workflow analysis
  • Integration requirements and data flow mapping
  • Security and compliance requirements review
  • Technical capability gap analysis

Strategy Development

  • Solution architecture design and technology selection
  • Integration pattern recommendations
  • Phased implementation roadmap with dependencies
  • Risk assessment and mitigation planning
  • Resource requirements and timeline planning

You walk away with:

A documented current-state assessment, a defined target architecture, risks identified and mitigated, and a phased delivery roadmap with clear priorities and dependencies.

Example: Procore Integration Planning

For a construction client evaluating Procore, the Plan phase involved comprehensive due diligence on Procore's security, API capabilities, and business continuity. We mapped their existing Sage 200 and Monday.com workflows, designed the integration architecture, and created detailed vendor requirements for the middleware developer — ensuring financial transaction integrity from day one.

R

Refine

We stress-test the design and validate every technical assumption before build begins

Strategy requires iteration. We work collaboratively to stress-test assumptions, validate technical approaches, and refine the design based on detailed analysis and stakeholder feedback.

Technical Validation

  • API capability testing and documentation review
  • Data model refinement and relationship mapping
  • Security architecture validation and penetration point analysis
  • Performance and scalability assessment
  • Integration pattern testing and proof of concept

Detailed Design

  • Database schema and Dataverse table structure finalisation
  • User interface mockups and workflow diagrams
  • Security role and permission matrix definition
  • Error handling and logging design
  • Test scenario development and acceptance criteria

You walk away with:

A validated technical design, a finalised data model, documented security and permission structure, and a complete set of acceptance criteria — so everyone agrees what "done" looks like before a single line of code is written.

Example: Power Apps Procurement System

In the Refine phase for a procurement workflow system, we validated the Dataverse data model through iterative sessions with stakeholders, refined approval logic to handle edge cases like absent approvers, designed the Teams adaptive card notifications, and created comprehensive test scenarios covering both happy path and exception handling.

Implement

We build, test, and deploy — with rigorous quality controls at every stage

This is where strategy becomes reality. We build the solution using best practices, conduct rigorous testing, and deploy in a controlled manner that minimises risk and disruption.

Development & Configuration

  • Power Apps application development (canvas and model-driven)
  • Power Automate flow creation and connector configuration
  • Dataverse table creation, relationships, and business rules
  • M365 tenant configuration and security policy implementation
  • Azure infrastructure deployment and network configuration

Testing & Quality Assurance

  • Unit testing of individual components and workflows
  • Integration testing across connected systems
  • User acceptance testing with stakeholder involvement
  • Performance and load testing where appropriate
  • Security testing and vulnerability assessment

Deployment

  • Phased rollout with pilot user groups
  • User training and documentation delivery
  • Data migration and validation
  • Monitoring setup and alerting configuration
  • Handover and knowledge transfer

You walk away with:

A fully tested, deployed solution with user training completed, monitoring in place, and a handover pack covering architecture, configuration decisions, and operational runbooks.

Example: M365 Security Configuration

Implementation of M365 security controls for a legal firm involved configuring Conditional Access policies, enabling Multi-Factor Authentication with appropriate exceptions for external counsel, implementing DLP policies to prevent client data leakage, configuring information protection labels for matter-centric classification, and comprehensive testing before firm-wide rollout.

Maintain

We sustain performance and ensure the solution keeps delivering as your environment evolves

Post-implementation support ensures the solution continues to deliver value. We establish monitoring, provide ongoing technical support, and track whether the system is achieving its intended outcomes.

Monitoring & Support

  • Performance monitoring and availability tracking
  • Error log review and issue resolution
  • User support and troubleshooting
  • Security monitoring and patch management
  • Regular health checks and configuration reviews

Performance Tracking

  • Usage analytics and adoption metrics
  • System performance and response time monitoring
  • Integration reliability and data quality checks
  • Security posture and compliance status
  • User feedback collection and analysis

You walk away with:

Ongoing visibility of system health, a clear support structure, adoption metrics showing real-world usage, and the confidence that issues are caught and resolved before they become problems.

Typical Support Structure

Post-implementation, we typically provide a defined support period including weekly check-ins for the first month, fortnightly reviews thereafter, and ad-hoc support for issues. We monitor system health, track adoption, and identify opportunities for quick wins or necessary adjustments.

E

Evolve

We build your team's capability and continuously improve the solution as your needs change

Technology and business requirements change. We help you build internal capability to manage the solution long-term and identify opportunities for optimisation and enhancement.

Knowledge Transfer

  • Comprehensive technical documentation and architecture diagrams
  • Administrator training for day-to-day management
  • Troubleshooting guides and runbooks
  • Code and configuration repositories with clear documentation
  • Ongoing coaching and capability development

Optimisation & Enhancement

  • Performance tuning and efficiency improvements
  • Feature enhancement based on user feedback
  • Integration expansion to additional systems
  • Security posture improvements and hardening
  • Cost optimisation and license management

You walk away with:

A team that understands what they have and can manage it, comprehensive documentation they can actually use, and a roadmap of agreed improvements — so the solution grows with you rather than becoming a liability.

Building Internal Capability

Our goal is not to create dependency but to build your team's capability. We document thoroughly, explain our decisions, and transfer knowledge progressively. For Power Platform solutions, we often train internal "citizen developers" who can make minor modifications and understand the architecture even if they're not professional developers.

Our Principles

The values that guide how we work with every client

Technical Rigour

We don't cut corners on fundamentals. Financial system integrations require transaction integrity. Security configurations demand proper testing. Documentation must be comprehensive. We apply enterprise-grade discipline to every project, regardless of size.

Practical Implementation

Good architecture means nothing if it can't be implemented. We design solutions that can actually be built, deployed, and maintained by real organisations with real constraints. Theory must always yield to what works.

Transparent Communication

We explain technical decisions in plain English. You'll understand not just what we're building, but why we're building it that way, what the alternatives were, and what trade-offs we're making. No jargon for jargon's sake.

Knowledge Transfer

We document thoroughly and explain generously. Your team should understand the solution we've built together. We're successful when you're self-sufficient, not when you're dependent on us.

Long-Term Thinking

Quick fixes create technical debt. We design for maintainability and evolution. Systems need to work not just on launch day, but three years from now when requirements have changed and new team members need to understand them.

Honest Counsel

If a proposed approach won't work, we say so. If a cheaper alternative exists, we'll mention it. Our reputation depends on your success, not on maximising project fees. We give you the advice we'd want to receive.
