We’ve successfully integrated Power BI into DB Enterprise.
On-demand reporting has been a long time need of our clients. Users want current data at their fingertips at all times. The trend has been to deliver that in convenient dashboards that provide key figures to share with stakeholders with drill down for further details as needed. At our Partner Conference in April, we shared our plans to enhance our reporting offering through Microsoft Azure and Power BI. As of our July 12th release, we’re excited to announce that our first integrated dashboard is accessible directly within DB Enterprise!
This was made possible beginning with our move to Azure. A version of DB Enterprise data is now replicated to a database in the Azure cloud which is accessible to Power BI. Other independent data will eventually be able to live alongside this DB/e data for dashboards that provide insight across systems for a single consolidated view. We’ve begun with a group of pilot customers who will review the first set of usage reports that have been constructed in Power BI, using a dashboard that showcases visualizations for total spend, order count, items ordered, and shipment summary. Each element offers the option to drill down into one or more detailed views for further analysis. Our goal is to work with the pilot group to refine this dashboard and then make this functionality available to more DB/e customers. We look forward to the continued development of this feature and the library of reports that are sure to come from it!
Stay tuned for updates as the pilot phase continues.
