In the era of enterprise digitalization, traditional business management models have gradually become insufficient, restricting the development process of enterprises. Nowadays, for better and faster development, enterprises need not only a sound business model but also the support of an efficient internal management platform.
Nova hereby shares a real customer case on how Power Platform has improved business process management efficiency.
Enterprise Background
Company X is a data center designer and operator focusing on the Chinese market, dedicated to developing and operating world-class hyperscale data center parks, providing customized data center services for Chinese and international enterprises.
With the rapid business growth of Company X, the existing workflow mode can no longer meet the company's needs for speed, accuracy, and flexibility, affecting its operations and business expansion.
To align with the company's strategic objectives and enhance competitiveness, it was necessary to establish a unified online approval system to:
Standardize and optimize business processes
Improve collaboration and information transmission efficiency
Integrate resources to reduce operational costs
Collect, organize, and mine information resources to expand their value
Challenges included:
· Inaccurate data: Scattered across multiple servers/systems and requiring cross-system integration.
· Delayed data recency: Relying on manual updates, unable to reflect real-time status.
Solution
To enhance the user experience in process approval and quickly build a business management system tailored to the company's needs, the enterprise adopted Microsoft Power Platform for development.
Building on traditional BPM solutions, Nova achieved digitalization of procurement, finance, HR, and IT management processes through a unified system, further promoting digital transformation based on budget and project management.

The project scope covered more than 20 processes, including:
Company Policy, Chop and Document Request, IT AD Application, Purchase Request, Vendor Application, Bid Awarding, Contract Application, PO Application, etc.
Power Platform & Novaflow Framework

Power Apps Intuitive visual development tools and a vast component library simplify enterprise application building. Users can quickly customize application interfaces (e.g., approval form pages) through drag-and-drop configuration, significantly lowering technical barriers and development costs.
Power Automate Enables enterprise users to automate tasks—from simple daily operations to complex business processes—reducing manual work. In this system, Power Automate constructs approval workflows, sends email/Teams notifications, and handles complex approval logic, achieving full automation of the approval process.
NovaFlow Nova's proprietary process engine complements Power Apps and Power Automate in complex business scenarios. It provides visual process management, a flexible rules engine, and robust data integration capabilities, offering efficient and stable business process management solutions.
