Transforming processes with Power Platform to drive life-changing research

The Francis Crick Institute

To deliver life-changing research and discoveries, The Francis Crick Institute has a strong dedication to reaching its goals with modern technology.

Since beginning our work with The Francis Crick Institute, we’ve built out a comprehensive, personalised roadmap to success following their core mission, ‘Discovery without boundaries’. The Francis Crick Institute wanted to explore the possibilities of Microsoft Power Platform to improve the accessibility of reports and data across the whole organisation.

The simplicity and cost-effectiveness of building out their own solution is what the institute was looking for in a modern management platform, which is why they adopted Microsoft Power Apps to build an app tailored to its unique needs.

Within a matter of six months we were able to build something that the users absolutely loved.

Discovery without boundaries

Before the deployment of Microsoft Power Platform, the institute found it challenging to communicate and share data between departments. With the rollout of Power Platform, the institute has created personalised apps across all areas to enable staff and students to fully focus on their roles, drive collaboration, and store data effectively.

“As a trusted partner, Phoenix were able to help the team better understand the capability of the technology.” commented Tom Connell, Business Apps Solution Lead at Phoenix. The fundamental mission of The Francis Crick Institute is to develop life-changing research. Now, with the rollout of unique apps, the scientists at the institute store their data on a secure, accessible database and view research on an intuitive Power BI dashboard.

Opening up communication, simplicity, and accessibility, The Francis Crick Institute are able to ensure they’re getting the best out of what they do every time, with our specialist guidance.

Through our partners and connections, The Francis Crick Institute has access to an invaluable amount of support from specialists, making the rollout of its new modern technology as smooth and accessible as possible. Scientists at The Francis Crick Institute now engage with research in a more effective way to drive impactful discoveries.

“It’s critical when you’re on that kind of journey that you’ve got the right partners alongside you.”

James Fleming, CIO, Francis Crick Institute
