IT Access Request and Fulfillment Automation

As a publicly-traded company, Verano is subject to vast regulations that require systems to meet a high level of enterprise requirements including availability, integrity, security and auditing.  To serve such a broad customer base, keep production facilities running reliably and empower a vast employee base, scale and reliability are paramount requirements.  Enter Microsoft’s Power Platform and MercuryWorks implementation services to cover the enterprise requirements and operate reliably in the cloud.

Data auditing and compliance is traditionally a large IT budget allocation and a major time sink during the development of full-code solutions.  Either third-party auditing systems are put in place or teams commit extensive development time creating auditing routines and reporting (oftentimes the utterance of the acronym “SOX” will bring a tear to engineering managers).  With the use of Microsoft Dataverse and the Power Platform, data auditing and compliance is simply “built in”.

With Dataverse, developers can basically “draw” the business rules and relationships between tables (including if..then…else logic) and then extract the benefits throughout the rest of the Power Platform (Automate, Apps, BI, etc.) to inherit and impose those rules without repeated hand-rolled custom validation and rule writing.  The development reduction and increased consistency in business function from this architecture throughout IT Service construction was immense.
