Case Study: Parexel International Corporation achieves 70% faster data product delivery and reduced manual work with Microsoft Power Apps

Parexel speeds operational insights by 70% using Microsoft Azure, accelerating data product delivery and reducing manual work

Parexel International Corporation, a global clinical research and data management provider, faced fragmented data across 100 different sources that made aggregation and analysis slow, costly, and inefficient. To modernize its infrastructure, streamline legacy systems, and enable future scalability, Parexel adopted Microsoft Power Apps alongside other Microsoft Azure services including Azure Data Lake, Azure Databricks, and Power BI.

Using Azure Data Lake, Azure Databricks and Power BI—and leveraging Microsoft Power Apps—Parexel consolidated its data into a single data lake, improved governance, and reduced manual tracking. The Microsoft Power Apps-driven solution cut data engineering tooling costs by 85%, accelerated data product delivery by 70% with Power BI, and saved about three hours per week on reporting for each employee, delivering faster operational insights.
