Case Study: PeopleCert achieves global expansion and rapid exam turnaround with Microsoft Azure

Leading digital exam institute pursues global expansion with Microsoft cloud

PeopleCert, headquartered in Greece, is a global leader in professional and language certification, delivering exams in more than 200 countries. As the business grew from regional test centers to millions of candidates, it needed a resilient, scalable 24/7 infrastructure, better collaboration across dispersed teams, and much faster exam processing and customer engagement.

PeopleCert adopted Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365 (including Teams), Dynamics 365 Sales and Customer Service, and Power BI to centralize operations, scale on demand, and gain data-driven insights. The cloud rollout delivered 99.95% uptime, easy resource management, mobile supervisor apps and on‑demand exams, and cut result turnaround from about a month to a few days, while enabling future AI-driven scoring and personalization.
