How to get started
What your company needs to integrate Microsoft Power BI.
From analytics tool to data integration
Although Power BI was originally designed as an analytics tool, Accobat has developed specialized visuals that allow Power BI to be used for both analysis and data entry.
With the writeback functionality in accoPLANNING, users can not only analyze data but also write data directly back into their systems. This is a game changer, as it turns Power BI into a dynamic tool that handles both data analysis and direct input in one unified solution.
The incorporation of writeback with accoPLANNING makes Power BI a comprehensive tool that enhances both master data management and decision-making. It enables companies to work with their data in a much more efficient and cohesive way.
"Microsoft originally designed Power BI as an analytics tool, and it typically doesn't support writeback.
With accoPLANNING, we've made it possible to write data back to a SQL database via an API, so Power BI can now also be used for data entry. I think that's really smart."
