Case Study: Catholic Education Western Australia (CEWA) achieves streamlined school administration and data-driven insights with Microsoft Corporation

CEWA deploys Dynamics 365, applies fresh lens to school data, transforming fragmentation into focus

Catholic Education Western Australia (CEWA) was working with fragmented data, communications, and school administration across its network of 162 schools, making it harder to support students, staff, and families efficiently. Microsoft Corporation helped CEWA modernize its operations with an Azure-based foundation and products including Office 365 and Dynamics 365 Sales, creating a more connected digital environment for education and administration.

Microsoft Corporation implemented an integrated platform that includes Dynamics 365, Power BI, Azure, and a .NET portal to streamline enrolment, attendance, wellbeing, finance, and reporting, while also enabling analytics and predictive insights. The rollout has already supported collaboration across 5,000 Azure-based learning assets and 500 teams, and it is expected to improve decision-making, student outcomes, and equity of access across 80,000 students and 15,000 staff.
