Azure Automation
Business process automation with Microsoft Azure: Logic Apps, Power Automate, Azure Functions and other cloud services to orchestrate workflows, connect applications with each other and reduce manual tasks in day-to-day operations.
Business process automation with Power Automate and Azure
Process automation with Power Automate and Azure means moving to the Microsoft cloud the tasks people currently execute by hand between applications: collecting forms, chasing approvals by email, filing attachments in SharePoint, notifying teams when an order arrives. Power Automate handles flows close to Microsoft 365 users, Logic Apps covers platform-grade integrations between business systems, and Azure Functions adds custom code when the logic outgrows standard connectors. Most real projects combine the three.
Good candidates fall into three families: approval circuits, document handling, and integrations between applications such as CRM, ERP or billing tools. When integrations become the core of the project, it moves towards our process integration service; tasks inside Office applications belong to office automation. Cloud flows are quick to build, but high volumes, complex business logic or the need for a dedicated interface can make custom development the better choice, and as a software development team we cover both sides.
Governance matters as much as building: an inventory of flows, service accounts instead of personal ones, separate test environments, failure alerts and a named owner per automation keep flows working for years instead of failing silently. Ongoing maintenance is part of the service.
How it connects to the system
Service closes the loop in the business layer while Connect and AI transform physical operations.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between Power Automate and Logic Apps?
- Power Automate targets flows close to Microsoft 365 and business users: approvals, notifications, document movements. Logic Apps is its platform-grade equivalent on Azure, aimed at system-to-system integrations, with more technical control over deployment, versioning and monitoring. Many projects combine both: Power Automate in the user-facing layer and Logic Apps in the integration layer.
- Do I need an Azure subscription to automate processes with Captia?
- Not necessarily from day one. If the company already works with Microsoft 365, many Power Automate flows run on existing licences. Azure services such as Logic Apps or Azure Functions come in when the process demands heavier integrations or custom logic. In each case we analyse which licences and services are actually needed before proposing anything.
- What happens to the flows when the process changes or a step fails?
- Flows need maintenance like any other software: connectors expire, permissions change, processes evolve. That is why we deliver every automation documented, using service accounts instead of personal users where possible, and with error monitoring in place. Captia Technology also provides ongoing support to review, fix and extend flows in production.
- When is custom development better than Power Automate?
- When the process logic is complex, execution volume is high or the flow needs its own interface, custom development usually wins on cost and maintenance. Power Automate and Logic Apps shine at orchestrating steps between existing systems. At Captia we assess both routes, and the solution often combines cloud flows with custom-built pieces such as Azure Functions.
