Case Study: Cerner Corporation achieves smarter, faster healthcare innovation with Microsoft Power BI

Cerner associates work smarter to power healthcare innovation with Microsoft 365

Cerner Corporation, a global healthcare IT provider, faced the need to modernize collaboration, mobility, AI-driven insights, and security for a 10,000+ employee workforce so it could deliver faster, patient-centric solutions. To meet these goals it adopted Microsoft 365 E5 tools—including Microsoft Power BI—to create a borderless, intelligent workplace that supports BYOD, tight security, and AI-enhanced productivity.

Using Microsoft Power BI for self-service dashboards and automated reporting, Cerner reduced a previously two-week report turnaround to on-demand analytics and automated approximately 90–95% of reporting. Combined with Teams (used by 96% of associates), Intune-enabled BYOD, OneDrive mobility, and built-in Microsoft 365 security, Microsoft Power BI helped Cerner boost collaboration, speed decision-making, and strengthen compliance across its global operations.
