Case Study: Vassallo Group achieves real-time insights and improved efficiency with Microsoft Power BI

Maltese business leader discovers ideal basis for growth in Microsoft cloud

Vassallo Group, a large Maltese conglomerate active in property, construction, healthcare, hospitality and education, needed to replace a legacy on‑premises IT estate that caused downtime, slow provisioning and poor reporting across nearly 2,000 employees. To modernize communications, improve efficiency and enable data‑driven decisions, the group adopted Microsoft cloud technologies including Office 365, Azure and analytics with Microsoft Power BI.

By moving its datacenter to Azure (using Azure SQL Data Warehouse and Dynamics NAV) and surfacing insights in Microsoft Power BI—with implementation support from partner CyberSift—Vassallo cut IT costs by 25%, achieved nearly zero downtime and eliminated business email loss. Server provisioning that once took a week now takes an hour or minutes, executives gain instant dashboards for decision‑making, and barcode‑based asset and property management have improved maintenance, revenue forecasting and operational responsiveness.
