Case Study: Vassallo Group achieves 25% IT cost savings and faster service delivery with Microsoft Dynamics 365

Maltese business leader discovers ideal basis for growth in Microsoft cloud

Vassallo Group, a diversified Maltese conglomerate founded in 1946 with nearly 2,000 employees across construction, property, healthcare, hospitality and education, faced critical limits from locally hosted IT: frequent downtime, slow provisioning, and a small IT team that struggled to deliver timely tools and insights to the business. Leadership needed a more resilient, scalable platform to improve internal communications, operational efficiency and data-driven decision making.

By moving to Office 365 and migrating its datacenter to Microsoft Azure with partner CyberSift—using Azure SQL Data Warehouse, Dynamics NAV and Power BI—Vassallo cut its IT costs by about 25%, achieved nearly zero email downtime, and reduced server provisioning from a week to minutes. The change enabled real-time reporting for executives, streamlined asset and property management, and noticeably boosted internal efficiency and sales, laying the foundation for broader digital transformation.
