Connect Infor and Microsoft Power BI

Connecting Infor and Microsoft Power BI for a company would involve building a data integration that allows information stored in Infor to be transferred and visualized in Power BI. This could support reporting, analytics, and business intelligence by enabling users to analyze operational data from Infor using Power BI’s visualization tools.

You can build this integration on the System2System platform. We design the connection between Infor and Microsoft Power BI around the way you work — not as an off-the-shelf connector, but to fit your systems.

Why connect Infor and Microsoft Power BI?

A company operating both Infor and Microsoft Power BI could benefit from connecting the two systems to enable more timely and accurate business insights. Without such a connection, staff could be required to manually export data from Infor and import it into Power BI, which introduces the risk of duplicate data entry, transcription errors, and delays in reporting. Over time, records in each system could diverge, leading to discrepancies and decisions based on outdated or inconsistent information. Connecting these systems could allow for automated data transfer, reducing manual workload and helping ensure that reports and dashboards in Power BI reflect the latest figures from Infor. Common types of data exchanged between an ERP system and a business intelligence platform could include financial transactions, sales orders, inventory levels, and other operational metrics. However, what can actually be exchanged depends on what each system exposes through its API, and is determined per situation.

How System2System builds an integration

Connectors

We connect to each system through the interface it offers — an API, a database, a file exchange or a webhook — and handle authentication, rate limits and retries.

Mapping

Fields rarely line up one to one. We map and transform the data so both systems receive it in the shape they expect.

Workflow

We define what triggers an exchange, in which direction data flows and which system takes precedence when the two disagree.

Monitoring

Every exchange is logged. Failures are flagged and can be replayed, so nothing disappears without anyone noticing.

What can actually be exchanged?

That depends on what Infor and Microsoft Power BI make available through their APIs, on the licences and modules in use, and on the version each system runs. Which records are synchronised, in which direction and how often, is something we determine together before any work starts.

We are happy to look at your specific situation and tell you what is feasible — including when the answer is that it is not.
