Hands-on consolidation
Build and verify it in a sandbox
Build a scoped request application in a developer instance, secure it by role, automate approval and fulfillment, expose one API, add automated tests, and promote it through an update or source-control workflow.
You can design, secure, test, debug, and deploy a maintainable scoped application without weakening platform controls.
