Case Study: Gulf Energy Development achieves enterprise intelligence and standardized, secure operations with Microsoft Azure

Thai energy firm powers its departments with business intelligence to drive growth

Gulf Energy Development, a leading energy producer in Thailand expanding into new markets and business pillars, faced fragmented systems, data stored in silos, inconsistent security controls, and nonstandard processes that blocked a holistic view of operations and made reporting and analytics slow and difficult. The company set out to standardize processes and build enterprise business intelligence to become more data-driven.

Gulf adopted Microsoft 365 and Azure solutions — including Power BI, Power Apps, and Azure Information Protection — to create a secure, scalable platform and a virtual data lake. Within a short time, silos were broken down, processes standardized, remote work was enabled with near-zero downtime, data classification was automated, app development sped up and costs fell, and departments gained self-service analytics and dashboards that support faster, evidence-based decision-making.
