FAQ

Common questions.

Everything about Power Automate — ROI, RPA, Process Mining, licensing, and timelines.

Talk to a specialist

Power Automate is Microsoft's automation platform covering cloud flows (connecting 900+ apps without code), desktop RPA (automating any Windows or web application), and process mining (analysing event logs to surface automation opportunities). It's built natively into Microsoft 365, Teams, SharePoint, and Dynamics 365.

Power Automate is 60–80% cheaper than standalone RPA platforms like UiPath or Blue Prism. For Microsoft-centric organisations, it offers superior native integration with M365, Dynamics 365, and Azure — reducing connector complexity dramatically. For heavy unattended RPA at enterprise scale, UiPath may be considered alongside Power Automate. SchwettmannTech will recommend the right platform mix for your needs.

Simple approval flows and notification automations go live in 1–3 days. Desktop RPA bots and multi-system integrations take 1–3 weeks. Complex enterprise programmes run 6–16 weeks. SchwettmannTech always delivers a working automation in the first sprint — you never wait months to see results.

Process Mining analyses your actual event logs (from SAP, Dynamics, ServiceNow, or any other system) to map how work actually flows — versus how you think it flows. It surfaces bottlenecks, rework loops, and deviations that waste time and money. SchwettmannTech includes Process Mining in all Enterprise engagements as it typically finds 20–30% more automation ROI than manual process interviews alone.

Copilot in Power Automate lets you describe a flow in plain English and generates the connector actions automatically. It also suggests the next step in a flow, auto-maps fields between connectors, and explains complex flow logic in natural language. This dramatically reduces build time for common patterns like approval chains and notification flows.

Power Automate is included in most Microsoft 365 plans for standard connectors. Premium connectors (SAP, Salesforce, Dynamics 365) require Power Automate Premium at ~$15/user/month. Desktop RPA requires Power Automate Process license at ~$40/user/month. Unattended RPA bots are capacity-priced. SchwettmannTech right-sizes your licence mix as part of every engagement.
