Case Study: Vrije Universiteit Brussel streamlines research budget monitoring with Cegeka and Power BI

Empowering VUB Professors with Centralized Data & Power BI Reporting

The Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) faced a significant challenge as its professors struggled to maintain an overview of their research projects, personnel, and budgets. Using three disparate data sources made the process time-consuming and inefficient. To address this, VUB partnered with vendor Cegeka to find a solution that integrated with its existing Microsoft Azure data platform.

Cegeka implemented a centralized data platform and developed user-friendly Power BI reports that integrated the three separate data sources. This solution provided professors and support staff with comprehensive, consolidated dashboards for all project and financial information. The vendor Cegeka successfully reduced administrative burdens, saving employees several hours per week and significantly increasing productivity, while also improving data quality to form a foundation for future data-driven decisions.
