Blueprint ALC
Safely Scale your Power Automate Desktop Estate
What if you could have complete visibility and control over your PAD estate without slowing down your citizen developers?
Blueprint ALC (Automation, Lifecycle & Control) provides end-to-end governance of your PAD estate, keeping everything compliant and under control without stifling creativity or speed. This AI-powered solution does everything from managing automation ideas through to continuous testing of in-production flows to proactively surface issues before they affect the business.
It also automatically generates flow descriptions, diagrams, and complete documentation, ensuring new staff or contractors come up to speed in a fraction of the time.
Instant
AI✨ auto-extracts flow logic straight from the code, instantly generating detailed documentation, diagrams, and specs. Quickly understand what any automation does and how it's built, so you can update, fix, or manage it without re-learning it from scratch.
Compliance & Security
Automated checks continuously validate your flows against compliance and security requirements, flagging sensitive data exposure and policy violations before they become incidents. Stay audit-ready at all times while minimizing unplanned downtime.
Visibility
See every environment a flow lives in, plus every dependency it has, from environment variables and queues to external flows and business applications. Roll-up dashboards give sweeping visibility across your estate, with drill-down into any detail.
Agent-Ready
Turn PAD flows into deterministic Copilot Agent Tools, giving your AI agents safe, reliable actions to call on. Removes the risk of probabilistic agent behavior in business-critical processes, letting agents scale without compromising control.
Scale Fast and Scale Safely
Power Automate Desktop (PAD) is the new generation of RPA that is cost-effective, powerful, and more approachable by citizen developers. This is why PAD estates in companies are rapidly scaling. But rapid scaling without the proper controls and tooling is a recipe for disaster. ALC was purpose-built for companies to safely scale their PAD estates to any size, without losing visibility, understanding, or control.
ALC gives complete visibility of PAD estates right from the birth of every flow through its entire life, and across all environments and pipelines. AI-powered tools make it quick to understand every flow's functionality, structure, and dependencies, backed by automated checks to ensure quality and compliance. And it provides the tools needed to monitor, continuously improve, and even configure flows for use as Copilot Agent Tools.
Make Your PAD Estate Enterprise-Class
Use Folders to Manage Your Flows
Create your own folders to manage flows by department, business function, or any other structure you choose.A Single Pane-of-Glass Across All Environments
Enterprises use environments for many reasons, from separating flows across business units to managing development through pipelines. With ALC, you see every environment a flow lives in, with roll-up dashboards giving you sweeping visibility across your entire RPA estate, then drilling down dynamically into any single environment when you need the detail.
De-risk Flow and Application Changes
ALC instantly maps every dependency a flow has, whether it's platform resources or the applications it touches, so you can assess the impact of any change before you make it. This includes environment variables, external flows, queues, PowerApps, Dataverse tables, and the business applications flows interact with.Quickly Understand your Flows
As PAD estates grow larger, knowledge gets lost. ALC eliminates the re-learning curve, whether it's existing staff picking flows back up or new staff and contractors ramping up for the first time. It auto-extracts information straight from the RPA code and summarizes what each flow does and how it's built, using narrative text and diagrams.
Use Your PAD Flows to Empower Your Agents
Turbo-charge your RPA investment by turning PAD flows into Copilot Agent Tools. Every company wants the benefits AI agents bring, but their probabilistic behavior is often too risky for business-critical processes. By having agents call deterministic PAD flows instead, that risk is removed, letting your agents scale safely alongside your automation.
Using ALC you can...
- Rapidly understand your flows and auto-generate documentation
- Maintain compliance, standards, and quality in the face of rapid change
- Continuously improve your flows, reducing redundancy, surfacing opportunities to move desktop flows to the cloud, and running ALC's automated quality checks
Key Features of Blueprint ALC
See every flow across every environment in one unified view, with roll-up dashboards that aggregate run data, health, and status estate-wide, then drill into any single environment for detail.
Group and manage flows by department, business function, or any structure your team prefers, keeping large estates easy to navigate as they grow.
ALC auto-extracts process diagrams, structure diagrams, and narrative summaries directly from flow code, so knowledge doesn't walk out the door with staff turnover.
Instantly see every resource a flow depends on, including applications, queues, environment variables, and other flows, so you can assess impact before you make a change.
Apply a configurable catalog of compliance checks across every flow in production, with tailorable thresholds that keep governance consistent as your estate scales.
GenAI scans flow code for PII, financial data, payment cards, and health information, and shows precisely where it is, closing a blind spot most PAD estates don't know they have.
Threaded, flow-level reviews stay synchronized with PAD, and any code change after approval automatically invalidates it, keeping your audit trail clean without manual tracking.
Turn proven, already-trusted PAD flows into callable tools for Microsoft Copilot agents, so agents execute real business processes deterministically instead of improvising.
ALC surfaces redundant code across your estate and flags which flows are strong candidates to move from desktop to cloud, turning modernization into a data-driven decision.
Find any flow using natural-language search powered by GenAI-extracted functional descriptions, instead of hunting through folders or relying on tribal knowledge.
Import and link existing PDDs, SDDs, and runbooks directly to their flows, with relevant content carried forward automatically into new auto-generated specs.
