Power BI Solutions

Microsoft Power BI is an affordable business analytics and intelligence service that gives interactive insights using live dashboards and rich reports with the ability to access data on the go from mobile devices. Microsoft Power Business Intelligence (BI) is a component of Microsoft Business Intelligence.

Microsoft Business Intelligence (Microsoft BI) refers to the collection of tools, technologies, and services that Microsoft provides to help organizations turn raw data into meaningful insights. These tools support data integration, data modeling, analytics, visualization, and reporting.

At its core, Power BI is a collection of software services, apps, and connectors that work together to turn unrelated sources of data into visually appealing and easy-to-understand interactive insights. This data could ome from an Excel Spreadsheet, or a collection of cloud-based and on-premises hybrid data warehouses within your existing SAP ERP system.

In any scenario, Microsoft Power BI lets you easily connect to your data sources, visualize and discover what’s important, and share that with anyone or everyone you want. VC ERP Consulting has years of experience in Power BI integration with various data sources. We are known among our customers as a trusted and knowledgeable Power BI consultancy.

The Flow Of Work in Power BI

One of the most common workflows in Power BI begins by connecting to data sources in Power BI Desktop and building a report.

Publish that report from Power BI Desktop to the Power BI service, and share it so business users in the Power BI service and on mobile devices can view and interact with the report.

Many other workflows, depending on your unique organization-specific processes, can be worked out and implemented by expert SAP Consultants such as VC ERP Consulting.

Safely Interact With
Content

Whether it is dashboards, reports, or apps, Power BI will offer you a great option to explore and experiment to derive relevant insights for your business.

Filtering, editing, or exporting data doesn’t affect the underlying dataset or the original shared content you use in Power BI. Therefore, your data remains safe.

The changes you make affect only your view of the content you are editing. You can always revert to the original view with just a click.

Power BI & SAP

Power BI is an affordable and easy-to-use tool that can be rapidly integrated with your On-Premise SAP Data Sources. SAP is a key enterprise BI data source, and Power BI connectivity to SAP systems is a desired capability for enterprise customers who want to unlock insights from their most critical business systems. Power BI connects to SAP S/4HANA and Business Warehouse interfaces easily. SAP customers who have already deployed SAP Business Warehouse have gone through the effort of integrating their transactional SAP data from SAP ECC, SAP S/4HANA, SAP Business One, CRM, SRM or other business systems into SAP Business Warehouse. Enterprise data in SAP BW has been cleansed, transformed, and modeled for use in reporting, analytics, and planning applications. It only makes sense that customers want to utilize what they have already invested in and connect Power BI to their data in SAP BW.

Power BI Connection Types for SAP Business Warehouse

Power BI Desktop offers two connection types for SAP Business Warehouse

Application Server Connections & Message Server Connections

Your login parameters for the Power BI desktop to log on to the SAP BW would be quite similar to logging on to the SAP BW using the SAP GUI client tool. Using the Application Server connection, Power BI will always connect to the specific SAP BW Server (host or IP) in your SAP landscape.

This means that your server must be able to support such connections and the workload they bring from time to time without affecting the other functions the server needs to carry out.

When creating visuals in Power BI Desktop, the underlying data source in SAP BW is queried to retrieve the needed data. The time that the visual takes to update entirely depends on the performance of your SAP BW system.

Apart from importing SAP BW data, users can also import a variety of other data sources into Power BI Desktop and combine them in a single report. To maximize performance, the larger SAP BW data set can be split into smaller datasets, and you can join them together in Power BI Desktop. Alternatively, using the built-in connector for SAP HANA, you can combine and bring together data from different SAP sources. This opens many interesting scenarios for reporting and analytics on top of your SAP data.
