Case Study: Medtronic achieves a unified, data-driven single source of truth and 240,000 hours automated with Microsoft Power BI

Medtronic transforms business with a “one best way” strategy and unified data system on Microsoft Power BI, fostering a data-driven culture

Medtronic, a global healthcare technology leader, needed a cohesive data and analytics ecosystem to support its unified Global Operations and Supply Chain team and broader workforce as part of its “one best way” strategy. To create a reliable, actionable single source of truth, Medtronic adopted Microsoft Power BI (alongside the Microsoft Power Platform) to standardize and democratize analytics across the organization.

Using Microsoft Power BI, Medtronic consolidated over 70,000 disparate dashboards into a unified INSIGHTS ecosystem, automated more than 240,000 hours of work, and increased internal dashboard views by 30×. The Power BI-driven solution—supported by Power Automate and Power Virtual Agents—delivered an actionable, flexible dashboard that now empowers more than 45,000 employees and significantly streamlined operations.
