Context : The CoE Admin Environment acts as a central hub where all requests for new Power Platform environments are managed. This ensures that every new environment adheres to organizational governance policies, security standards, and resource allocation strategies.

Solution : Utilizes the Environment Request App, which provides a user-friendly interface for makers to submit environment creation requests. This app includes features for specifying environment details, selecting appropriate data policies, and choosing environment types. Admins can review these requests, approve or deny them based on predefined criteria, and automate the setup process, ensuring that all environments are created with the necessary security and compliance measures in place.

Impact : The system significantly reduces the time and effort required for environment provisioning, thereby enhancing operational efficiency. It ensures that all environments are compliant with organizational policies from inception, reducing security risks. By automating and standardizing the request process, it also minimizes administrative workload, allowing IT teams to focus on higher-value activities. Additionally, this structured approach to environment creation helps in better managing Power Platform resources, leading to optimized usage and potential cost savings.
