Case Study: Nations Trust Bank achieves on-demand performance insights and faster decision-making with Microsoft Power BI

Forward-thinking bank migrates to the cloud in six weeks with Microsoft FastTrack

Nations Trust Bank, a Sri Lankan bank with 2,800 employees and 93 branches, faced an urgent challenge when its third‑party email licenses were due to expire: migrate its entire IT environment to the cloud on an aggressive six‑week timeline. The bank selected Microsoft 365 cloud services — including Exchange Online, Office 365, Skype for Business Online and Power BI — and relied on Microsoft FastTrack support and the expertise of its partner to accelerate onboarding with Microsoft Power BI as part of the chosen Microsoft solution set.

With help from partner ZILLIONe and Microsoft FastTrack, Nations Trust Bank completed a full migration to the cloud in six weeks, keeping compliance intact and eliminating mailbox limits. Microsoft Power BI and other Office 365 tools gave branch managers on‑demand performance data, Skype for Business Online enabled interactive CEO meetings across 93 branches, and employees saved 2–5 minutes daily (about 22,000–55,000 hours a year), all delivered on time and on budget.
