A Power Automate alternative for processes that outgrew flows.

Power Automate is a quick way to connect a few tools. When hundreds of flows run a critical process, no one can see the whole of it. thinkbridge reads the logic out of the flows, confirms it with the people who rely on them and builds one system that holds it.

Signs you've outgrown Microsoft Power Automate

  • Flows are owned by different people, and no one has a view of all of them.
  • A change in one flow breaks another.
  • Licensing grows with the number of users and flows.
  • The real process lives across flows, spreadsheets and email.

Microsoft Power Automate compared with a system you own

Microsoft Power Automatethinkbridge
What it automatesSteps people take across screens and systems, bot by botThe whole process, as rules and workflows in one system
Who owns itYou license it; the vendor owns the platformYou own the code, the data model and the business logic
How you payLicenses by bot, workflow or user, plus the effort to build and run themPriced on outcomes, paid over an agreed term
When something changesA bot can stop working when a screen or field it depends on changesThe system and its rules change together; low-risk changes ship to a beta you approve

How the move works

  1. ObserveWe watch how the work runs today, including the workarounds.
  2. Model and buildThe system is modeled on your process and generated with thinkOne.
  3. Migrate and validateYour data moves over and your team tests it on real cases.
  4. Go liveIn about four months.

The four stages are a short version of the six-step method (see how it works). For what gets built, see RPA replacement and consolidation.

Questions about moving off Microsoft Power Automate

Can we keep Power Automate for small tasks?

Yes. Simple personal flows can stay. thinkbridge replaces the flows that run a core business process.

What happens to the processes our bots run today?

thinkbridge maps what each bot does and which systems it touches, removes the steps that only existed to work around a system, and rebuilds the rest as rules and workflows in the new system.

How long does replacing the bots take?

About four months from kickoff to go-live.
