PepsiCo Cuts Sales Analytics Cost 80% and Speeds Reporting 50% by Moving 27-Year-Old BI Estate to Azure Databricks
PepsiCo is replacing a 27-year-old, fragmented BI landscape by moving to a single, governed analytics and AI platform on Azure Databricks SQL and Unity Catalog. A key sales-analytics workload dropped from about $500K to $175K per year (about 80% lower) while running faster, and processing of core financial and commercial tables improved by around 50% across Power BI and Tableau.
