Case Study: Adcorp Group achieves real-time consolidated analytics, faster reporting and major cost savings with Microsoft Dynamics 365

Adcorp Group - Customer Case Study

Adcorp Group, a Johannesburg‑based workforce management provider with more than US$1 billion in annual revenue and operations across 29 subsidiaries, faced a major data challenge after rapid growth through acquisition. Subsidiaries used at least nine different financial systems with unique configurations, leaving Adcorp without a unified data model, governance, or an efficient way to produce enterprise reports—making reporting slow, expensive, and a heavy support burden.

Adcorp partnered with Genpact and moved its analytics to Microsoft Azure, using Azure Data Factory and Blob Storage to ingest data into an Azure SQL Data Warehouse and Power BI for self‑service dashboards. The consolidated repository (100+ GB, 1.5 billion rows) delivers real‑time reporting, slashes daily upload volumes from 23 GB to 1.4 GB via compression and reduces refresh times from hours to minutes, and answers analyst queries immediately. The solution cut front‑end costs (Power BI about 25% of a competing option), improved transparency for executives, and provides a scalable cloud platform for future growth and additional Microsoft SaaS adoption.
