Case Study: BDO India achieves faster GST compliance and 20% time savings with Microsoft Power BI

BDO India clocks higher efficiency returns with Microsoft Azure and Power BI

BDO, a leading professional services firm in India, faced new compliance and operational challenges after the rollout of Goods and Services Tax (GST), which required fast, transactional‑level reporting to the GST Network. To bridge the gap between data management and decision‑making, BDO deployed a cloud analytics approach using Microsoft Azure and Microsoft Power BI to deliver timely, accurate visualizations and insights through its BDO Enable Analytics platform.

Hosted on Microsoft Azure with data ingestion via Azure Data Services, Cosmos DB and Data Factory and secure connectivity through Azure VPN Gateway and ExpressRoute, BDO Enable Analytics transforms transactional data into interactive dashboards and reports powered by Microsoft Power BI. The Microsoft Power BI‑enabled solution cut data consolidation time by 20%, reduced transaction processing times by 45–90 minutes, and improved tax risk detection, trend prediction and tax planning for BDO’s clients.
