Case Study: CEL Data Services achieves streamlined cloud migration and higher user adoption with Microsoft Power BI

CEL Data Services - Customer Case Study

CEL Data Services, a Brussels-based ATM and IT field services firm of 210 employees, was hampered by aging on-premises servers and end-of-life PDAs that slowed response times and limited communication and collaboration. To modernize securely and drive adoption, CEL Data Services partnered with Spikes and moved to Microsoft 365, deploying tools such as Microsoft Teams, SharePoint Online, Intune, Windows Autopilot, Surface Go devices — and using Microsoft Power BI for usage analytics.

Spikes and Microsoft FastTrack accelerated the cloud migration, trained internal change agents, and used device provisioning (Autopilot) and management (Intune) to simplify rollouts; Microsoft Power BI and Microsoft 365 usage analytics let CEL Data Services track adoption. The result was faster, more secure collaboration and communication, reduced employee downtime, and hundreds of IT working hours saved, with measurable usage data enabling targeted training to boost adoption.
