STOP THE SOFTWARE SUBSCRIPTION SPRAWL

You Already Pay for M365. Now Unleash It.

Many councils spend hundreds of thousands of pounds each year on third-party SaaS tools for simple booking systems, internal casework tracking, asset inspections, and citizen forms. At the same time, their Microsoft 365 E3/E5 licenses sit half-used.

Civic Shift configures enterprise Microsoft Power Platform environments with full Dataverse security models, custom Canvas and Model-Driven Power Apps, automated Power Automate workflows, and real-time Power BI reporting for S151 Officers and Cabinet members.
