Native to Microsoft.
Connected to the rest of your estate.
AlignX is built natively on Microsoft Power Platform, so the Microsoft 365 services your organisation already runs are not “integrations” to AlignX. They are AlignX. Beyond the Microsoft foundation, AlignX connects to the operational and delivery tools that hold the data AlignX turns into decision context.
Two tiers. One platform.
AlignX does not replace your strategy tools, your portfolio tools, your architecture tools or your GRC platforms. It sits above them as the shared decision context, connecting the outputs of each into a single, navigable enterprise model.
And because AlignX is built natively on Microsoft Power Platform, it extends your Microsoft 365 estate rather than adding a new one alongside it. Data flows in both directions: AlignX draws delivery information from your operational tools and returns decision context, traceability and governance intelligence to the people who need it.
The Microsoft foundation. Native, not integrated.
These Microsoft services are not connectors to AlignX. They are the platform AlignX runs on. AlignX operates within your Microsoft tenant from day one, under the security, identity and compliance posture you already established.
Microsoft Entra
Identity, access and conditional access
Every decision and approval in AlignX is attributed to a verified, auditable identity. IT teams manage AlignX users as part of the Microsoft 365 estate.
Microsoft Purview
Information protection and compliance
AlignX records and artefacts inherit your Purview classification, retention and eDiscovery policies. Compliance obligations map to PSPF, ISM, ISO 27001 and NIST.
Dataverse
Data model
Every object and relationship in AlignX is a Dataverse table inside your Microsoft data region. No bespoke database. No new data residency conversation.
Power Automate
Automation layer
Approval chains, drift alerts and connector workflows run through Power Automate, configurable by Power Platform administrators.
Power BI
Reporting layer
AlignX dashboards are Power BI dashboards on live Dataverse data, available in the environment your leaders already use.
Microsoft Teams
Governance in flow
Decision approvals, governance alerts and execution drift warnings surface as actionable Teams messages.
Microsoft 365 (SharePoint, Exchange)
Document and email context
Reference SharePoint documents and Exchange threads as decision evidence, in place.
Azure DevOps and GitHub
Delivery context
Programme and project delivery data is surfaced as investment and requirements context.
Microsoft Sentinel and Defender
Risk context
Security events surface in the GRC domain, connecting operational posture to architectural decisions.

Operational connectors. Beyond the Microsoft foundation.
AlignX draws operational and delivery data from the broader tool estate and returns decision context, traceability and governance intelligence. Connectors run on Power Automate, configurable without bespoke integration development.
Sync delivery, programme and portfolio data
AlignX draws execution context from your work management tools and returns decision traceability, so every investment is connected to the intent that justified it.
Connect CMDB and ITSM
Bidirectional data flow between AlignX and your CMDB and ITSM platforms. Architectural components are connected to the requirements that drove them, the investments that funded them and the governance decisions that authorised them.
CMDB
Extend the GRC picture beyond Microsoft Purview
Risk conditions and compliance obligations connect to the strategic and architectural decisions that create or mitigate them. Where Microsoft Purview provides information governance and framework mapping, dedicated GRC platforms can extend the picture.
GRC
Connect analytics platforms beyond Power BI
AlignX provides decision context that transforms raw data into governance intelligence. Where Power BI is the native reporting layer for AlignX, organisations with a multi-platform analytics estate can extend the picture.
One platform. Two tiers. All your context.
AlignX is native where you operate, connected where you deliver.
