What Power Pages should enable

Power Pages is not just about publishing information online. It is about controlled access to business data.

When implemented correctly, Power Pages allows organisations to:

  • Provide customers with secure self-service portals
  • Share information with partners and suppliers
  • Reduce manual data requests and admin
  • Improve transparency and experience
  • Maintain full control over data and access

The focus is on trust, security and usability.

Common challenges with external portals

External access introduces risk if not handled correctly.

Common issues we see include:

  • Overly complex user journeys
  • Poor performance and usability
  • Weak access control and permissions
  • Disconnected data and systems
  • Limited ownership and maintenance plans

Power Pages solves many of these challenges, but only when implemented with care.

Power Pages and governance

External portals require ongoing oversight.

Avrion helps establish:

  • Change management processes
  • Content and data ownership
  • Security reviews and updates
  • Performance monitoring

So portals remain secure and effective over time.

 

Already using Power Pages?

If you have existing portals or are considering exposing data externally, a Business Health Check can help assess readiness and risk.

We assess:

  • Current portal setup
  • Security and access controls
  • Data integration and structure
  • User experience and performance

Providing clear recommendations for improvement.

  • Understanding who needs access and why
  • Designing clear, simple user journeys
  • Defining robust security and permission models

What do our customers say?

““The reason why I like working with Jon is because he always comes up with a solution. This was a small project but it has a big impact and solves lots of time problems. I can now make updates to the communications that go out myself and don’t need the support of Avrion for this going forward, although they are always on hand if I need help.””

Jane Margetts – Restore Records Management

“Avrion is able to grasp a concept quickly and turn it into a deliverable that can make a significant difference to a business. They take the time to understand the requirement, taking concepts and ideas and turning them into tangible benefits to achieve the best outcome possible for the customer.”

Jasmin Dudden – Restore Datashred

“With our workload and team outgrowing our old method of workflow management, we needed a solution. Having worked with Avrion in the past, we asked them to take a look. Dave, Nick and Sam took the time to go through our process with us. It was decided that a ticketing system was required - the guys set up what we required and assisted us whilst we inputted our data and got it going. I think the level of customer service we have received from Avrion is 5 stars.”

Mike Bevan – SPM Instrument UK

“I'd 100% recommend Avrion. It's been a dream working with them. They have helped us at every point in this process. I've worked with people in the past where there's a bit of tension, but with Avrion they always helped to direct our journey, in a way that was working with us as a partner, over anything else.”

Jasmin Dudden – Restore Datashred

“Avrion built the system according to our needs and fine-tuned it as required once we began to use it. They have been very supportive throughout and helped us navigate through the entire process.”

Carly Cullen – Priors Hall Park Management

“Integrating over 30 acquisitions, meant harmonising over 60 customer databases. Impressive, but of little use if the data is unstructured. Maximizer meant structured data, yes it requires focus, but the output is efficient to say the least; the new improved pipeline made us twice as effective, cross selling across the 5 business units - closure went up 4-fold. Integrating this with front line operational calls gave us a holistic view, reducing hundreds of days spent on internal calls, joining up the dots for our customers. Opportunities grew by over 20% with straightforward data polishing. The icing on the cake was with GDPR, good process with opt-outs and customer choice on contact options. When you feed this into the business it allows us to be focussed on the day-to-day operation, the back-end processes of store, scan and shred just become slicker – our focus with customers substantially better. Hundreds of hours freed up for improvements on invoicing, value added services, the day to day delivery with document management”

David English – Restore plc

“Our project involved coupling existing platforms with new CRM technologies, training and a complex project roll-out. Avrion managed the transition without fuss or any ‘catch-you’ extra fees – a job well done.”

David English – Restore plc

“I’m using Power BI a lot more now than I did when we started with creating refreshable dashboards for the Senior Leadership Team and other management levels showing different elements of the business. We are doing this by implementing the data warehouse built by Avrion, which is very handy. I love Power BI and think it is such a great tool that every business can have/use as it turns your raw data into a story that shows different aspects from the company over time.”

Dan Costin – Restore Datashred

“We created an automation wish list for Avrion, who were brilliant at listening and communicating as they tailored the project specifically to the scope.”

Carly Cullen – Priors Hall Park Management

“Avrion enabled the changes to revolutionise our workflow through small steps that added huge impact. Not many people do that.”
