Case Study: Sicredi achieves companywide project-portfolio visibility and 70% licensing savings with Microsoft Project Online

Financial cooperative gains companywide visibility into project portfolio with cloud-based solution

Sicredi, a large Brazilian financial cooperative, faced a fragmented and costly project-management landscape with more than 20 different tools in use, low project-manager satisfaction, slow reporting, and inefficient resource allocation. To standardize and gain companywide visibility, Sicredi chose Microsoft Project, deploying Project Online as its centralized project and portfolio management platform.

Using Microsoft Project (Project Online) alongside SharePoint Online, Yammer and Power BI, Sicredi replaced 14 legacy solutions, cut its licensing budget by 70%, and migrated 200 projects and 600 demands into a single system. The unified platform improved resource allocation and prioritization, boosted portfolio-management productivity by 25%, reduced data-collection time by over 50%, and shortened project lead times by about 20%, giving leadership realtime portfolio visibility and faster decision-making.
