Background
First Up Consulting recruits information technology (IT) workers for temporary or permanent positions at client companies. The company operates offices in multiple countries/regions.
First Up has both full-time and part-time employees. The company has a team or worker support agents that respond to inquiries from current and prospective workers. Some of the worker support agents are multilingual.
The company does not have a standardized tool used for reporting purposes. The organization engages you to implement a new Power Platform solution. Workers are managed by a dedicated team that includes one primary recruiter and a contract assistant. Many client companies live in areas that do not allow for mobile data connections.
Current environment
Existing systems and processes
- First Up uses an on-premises system to manage current and historical patient data including medications and medical visits.
- The company plans to reference historical data in the existing system. The records held in these systems will not be migrated to the new solution except for medication information.
- Employee authentication with the existing system is provided by an on-premises Active Directory instance that is linked to Azure Active Directory.
- An appointment record is created for each visit with a worker. The record includes worker contact information, preferred language, the date and time of the appointment, and other relevant data. This information is reviewed by the worker’s primary recruiter.
- First Up has no current capabilities for forecasting future worker needs based on the data held.
Client company visits
Before First Up signs a contract to place workers at a client company, a member of the audit team visits the company and interviews company management. Audit members use different types of devices including Android and iOS devices. First Up has no plans to require the use of a single type of device. Audit team members currently record information about workers on paper forms. Team members enter information from paper forms into the system when they return to the office.
First Up audits client companies at least once each year but may schedule additional visits based on feedback from workers that they place at a client company.

Issues
The organization reports the following issues:
- Recruiters report that they cannot see historical job placement data for workers.
- API usage reports show that the number of API calls made exceeds limits. This causes delays saving data.
- Users cannot view Power BI reports within the Power Platform apps.
- Some security clearance information for workers not visible from within the Power Platform solution.
- Audit teams report that they cannot view or edit worker data when the device on which they access the solution does not have network connectivity.
- The testing ream reports that one of the canvas apps is not working as expected. An error message displays as specific pages load.
