Thought Leadership and Insights
Liya’s experience highlights a key reality in Microsoft 365 environments: automation and customization should simplify work, not complicate it.
At dataBridge, we often see organizations over-engineer solutions or rely too heavily on manual processes. Liya helps find the right balance—using Power Platform tools to streamline operations while keeping solutions aligned with SharePoint structure, governance, and long-term maintainability.
This perspective is especially valuable in projects tied to SharePoint Strategy & Roadmapping, SharePoint Governance Framework, and broader Solutions, where customization must support—not disrupt—the overall platform strategy.
