Rigel Networks Microsoft Practice
Enterprise Microsoft delivery for workflow automation, document control, internal business apps, SQL-backed systems and operational dashboards.
Where Rigel helps
Modernize email and spreadsheet-driven approvals into governed Microsoft 365 workflows.
Who this is for
VPs, GMs, IT leaders, procurement teams and department owners needing dependable execution.
Typical handoff
Requirements, workflow matrix, data model, build, UAT, documentation and support.
Delivery model
Dedicated resource, small pod, fixed project, managed maintenance or staff augmentation.
Core Expertise
Rigel covers the Microsoft stack needed to connect collaboration, approvals, forms, data and reporting into one practical operating layer.
Workflow layer
Nintex and Power Automate approvals, reminders, escalations, notifications and audit-ready workflow history.
Collaboration layer
SharePoint intranets, libraries, metadata, permissions, content types and document control.
Application layer
Power Apps forms, mobile-friendly department apps, role-based screens and SQL-connected apps.
Reporting layer
Power BI dashboards, SQL reporting, approval visibility and Excel-to-dashboard modernization.
Business Problems We Solve
Most workflow projects begin with a familiar pattern: approvals are hidden in email, work is tracked in Excel, documents move through folders and leaders have limited visibility.
- Map the current approval path, owners, documents and exceptions.
- Identify what belongs in SharePoint, SQL, Dataverse, Power Apps or Power Automate.
- Replace manual reminders with structured notifications and escalation rules.
- Give managers a status view instead of asking teams for updates.
Email approvals
Convert scattered approval chains into traceable workflow states with owners and due dates.
Excel tracking
Move operational registers into structured lists, SQL tables or Dataverse-ready models.
Document version issues
Use metadata, permissions, approval status and controlled document libraries.
No dashboard
Create Power BI and SharePoint views for workload, aging, bottlenecks and compliance status.
SharePoint Capability
SharePoint is the foundation for document-heavy operations: intranets, department portals, controlled libraries, role-based access and collaboration around workflow records.
Department intranet
Role-based pages for policies, forms, announcements, documents and request intake.
Document control
Engineering, compliance or operations libraries with metadata, approvals and revision history.
Admin support
Site collection administration, permissions, user groups, navigation and list/library configuration.
Workflow foundation
SharePoint lists and libraries designed to support Nintex, Power Automate and Power Apps.
Nintex + Power Automate
Rigel supports both Nintex-based workflow environments and Microsoft Power Automate modernization, including practical migration planning where legacy workflows need to evolve.
- Review existing Nintex forms, workflow actions, dependencies and exceptions.
- Stabilize current workflows where immediate replacement is risky.
- Design Power Automate flows for approvals, reminders, escalations and notifications.
- Document ownership, support steps and rollback paths for business continuity.
Nintex Forms
Structured request forms, validation, conditional fields and approval-ready submission data.
Nintex Workflows
Legacy workflow support, troubleshooting, change requests and transition planning.
Power Automate
Cloud flows, approval flows, scheduled reminders, Teams alerts and Outlook notifications.
Migration approach
Not every flow should be copied action-for-action. Rigel redesigns around maintainability.
Power Apps + SQL
Power Apps gives department users clean forms and role-based screens, while SQL Server, Azure SQL or Dataverse provides structure for operational data and reporting.
Common examples: request intake apps, inspection forms, HR onboarding, job card entry, vendor forms and approval dashboards.
App design
Simple screens for submitters, approvers and managers with only the fields each role needs.
Data model
Lists, SQL tables, relationships, lookup data and permissions planned before the app is built.
Integration
APIs, .NET services, SQL procedures, Microsoft 365 connectors and downstream reporting.
Supportability
Documentation, environment notes, naming conventions and admin handover.
Dashboards & Visibility
Power BI and SQL reporting turn workflow records into management visibility: status, aging, bottlenecks, throughput, ownership and exception tracking.
Power BI dashboards
Executive-ready dashboards connected to SQL, SharePoint or exported workflow data.
Approval analytics
See where requests stall and which owners need escalation or process redesign.
Data cleanup
Normalize spreadsheet data before dashboarding to avoid unreliable management reporting.
Secure access
Role-based sharing patterns aligned with department, management and compliance needs.
Representative Solutions
These are anonymous, representative Microsoft solutions Rigel can deliver or support remotely for enterprise teams.

Request intake, document collection, finance/legal approvals, status dashboard and reminders.
Purchase approval
Threshold-based routing, budget owner approvals, escalation, Teams/Outlook notifications.
Engineering document control
Revision-controlled SharePoint library, metadata, approval stages and release visibility.
HR onboarding
Forms, task assignments, access requests, policy acknowledgement and completion tracking.
Timesheet / job card
Mobile-friendly entry, supervisor approval, exception handling and SQL/Power BI reporting.

Recurring checklist, evidence upload, reminder flow and audit-ready completion view.
Department intranet
Forms, policies, announcements, document libraries and team-specific navigation.
