Case Study: The MultiChoice Group achieves faster, enterprise-wide insights with Microsoft Power BI

Microsoft Synapse in ground-breaking MultiChoice ‘Vibranium’ data and analytics project

The MultiChoice Group, Africa’s leading entertainment company, faced fragmented on‑premise data environments across numerous autonomous analytics teams and needed an agile, scalable cloud-based single source of truth with strong governance. To modernize its group-wide analytics, The MultiChoice Group engaged Microsoft Power BI as part of a broader Microsoft Azure Synapse–centered solution to unify data, speed insights and support governed self-service analytics.

Microsoft Power BI, working with Azure Synapse Analytics, Azure Data Factory, Data Lake, Databricks, Azure Machine Learning and Azure DevOps, helped deliver a modern data platform that gives teams a single version of the truth and self-service capabilities. The implementation accelerated delivery (insights up to 14× faster), reduced cloud costs (up to 94% less versus other cloud providers), supports 250+ users, and enabled incremental development and a more analytics-driven organization — outcomes delivered in partnership with Microsoft Power BI.
