Why Luza? We’re more than just Power Platform experts; we’re a team of highly certified professionals with a proven track record in solving complex challenges and delivering results in mission-critical environments. From enterprise-scale deployments to high-pressure recovery projects, we bring the technical depth and strategic insight needed to succeed where it matters most.

1. Performance Diagnostics

When Power Apps slow down or crash, especially when connected to large SharePoint lists, it’s often due to how the app is built or how it handles data. We conduct a thorough assessment to uncover the root causes of poor performance.

What we deliver:

  • A clear picture of what’s slowing down your app
  • Insights into how your data sources are affecting performance
  • Recommendations to streamline and stabilize your app

2. Refactoring & Optimization

Once we’ve identified the issues, we rebuild your app to make it faster, more stable, and easier to maintain. This includes redesigning how data is accessed and displayed, and simplifying the app’s structure.

Example:  One client had a Power App that crashed when users tried to search a large SharePoint list. After we restructured how the app retrieved data, it became responsive, reliable, and ready to scale—without changing the user experience.

What we deliver:

  • A smoother, faster app that handles large data volumes
  • A more intuitive and maintainable structure
  • A better experience for your users and your support team

3. Monitoring & Insights

To keep your apps running at their best, you need visibility into how they’re performing. We implement tools that track usage, detect issues, and provide actionable insights.

What we deliver:

  • Dashboards that show how your apps are being used
  • Alerts for performance issues or errors
  • Insights to guide future improvements

4. Center of Excellence (CoE) Implementation

A Center of Excellence helps your organization scale Power Platform adoption with confidence. We help you build a framework that supports innovation while maintaining control.

What we deliver:

  • Clear governance and development standards
  • A structured environment strategy
  • Tools and training to empower both IT and business users

Whether you're dealing with sluggish apps, data overload, or governance gaps, Luzabrings the expertise to turn your Power Apps into high-performance business tools. Let’s talk!
