Microsoft has retired the Power Platform COE Starter Kit, ending all feature updates, bug fixes, and security patches. For organizations relying on it for governance, the gap is immediate.

The recommended replacement, the Power Platform Admin Center, does not fully cover inventory management, lifecycle tracking, ownership accountability, or compliance automation.

In this webinar, Max Götz and Matt Einig break down what the retirement means for organizations running Power Platform at scale, where Microsoft's native tooling holds up, and what a viable path forward looks like. The window to act is narrowing.

Safe your spot

 Microsoft retired the COE Starter Kit. Your governance gap starts now.

No new features. No bug fixes. No security patches. If you are managing Power Platform at scale, retirement is not a future problem. It is a current one.

Microsoft's official answer is the Power Platform Admin Center. For most organizations running mature governance workflows, it does not cover the ground that the COE Starter Kit did. Inventory management, lifecycle tracking, ownership accountability, and compliance automation all have material gaps in the native tooling.

The question is not whether to migrate. It is whether you have full visibility into what you are losing before you do it.

In this session, our experts Max Götz and Matt Einig walk through exactly where the Admin Center falls up, where it creates risk, and what a structured path forward looks like for teams that cannot afford governance blind spots.

In this session, you will learn: 

  • What the COE starter kit delivered and what the Amin Center transition leaves behind

  • Where native Microsoft capabilities are sufficient and where they fall short

  • What governance obligations remain regardless of which tool you use

  • What a practical path forward looks like without COE overhead

  • Live demo: Power Platform Governance with Rencore in action 

Who should attend

This session is designed for Power Platform admins, IT governance leads, and anyone currently running the COE Starter Kit or already migrating away from it.

Register for June 17th

Leave with a precise picture of your governance gaps, a realistic view of where native Microsoft tooling is and is not sufficient, and defined next steps for maintaining control without COE overhead. The live demo shows exactly how Rencore closes what Microsoft leaves open.

Matthias Einig

Matthias started Rencore because he kept seeing the same problem: Everyone is adopting Microsoft 365, Power Platform, and now Copilot & AI - without a plan to govern it.

The result? Sprawl, oversharing, shadow agents, rising risk, and costs.

With Rencore, Matthias helps organizations stay in control. Rencore brings visibility, automation, and lifecycle governance to Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Teams, Power Apps, Copilot, Azure AI, and more.
