Case Study: Kinross Gold Corporation achieves mobile, multilingual BI and sub-12‑month ROI with MicroStrategy

Kinross - Customer Case Study

Kinross, founded in 1993, is one of the world’s leading gold producers with more than 8,000 employees and operations across North and South America, Africa and Russia. The company struggled with slow, manual Excel-based reporting that arrived weeks late, raised data-quality concerns, and offered limited drill-down and mobile capabilities—prompting a reassessment of its BI strategy to find a faster, easier-to-use, lower-cost solution that supports a multilingual global workforce.

Kinross selected MicroStrategy and adopted a mobile-first, “develop once, deploy everywhere” approach, building dashboards and transaction services that run on PCs and mobile devices and automatically adapt to multiple languages. The solution lets field supervisors input data in real time, provides drill-down analytics on the go, reduces reporting time and cost, improves decision-making, and delivered significant value with payback in under 12 months while shifting effort from data collection to analysis.
