Centre of Excellence FAQs

Q: What is a Centre of Excellence? 
A: A Centre of Excellence (CoE) is a centralised function within an organisation that drives innovation, improvement, and governance for Power Platform adoption. It helps align business goals, key stakeholders, and ensures best practices. 

Q: Is the Marra Centre of Excellence different from the Microsoft Centre of Excellence Starter Kit? 
A: The Microsoft CoE Starter Kit provides a collection of tools and templates to help organisations get started with their CoE. The tools provided in the Starter Kit are just a means to get to the end goal. Marra’s CoE methodology also covers the role of people, communication, and defined requirements and processes. This means the CoE is thoughtfully designed based on the needs and preferences of the organisation. 

Q: What kind of business can benefit from investing in a Centre of Excellence? 
A: Any business looking to enhance its digital transformation efforts, streamline processes, and foster innovation can benefit from a CoE. If your business is looking to scale its use of Power Platform, then a CoE can support this. Sectors like finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and local government can all benefit from establishing a CoE. 

 Q: How do you get started building a Centre of Excellence? 
A: To get started, Marra recommends conducting a Maturity Assessment to establish where the priority areas are, identify quick-wins and longer term milestones to work towards.
