Connect MNP and Microsoft Power BI

Connecting MNP and Microsoft Power BI could enable a company to transfer data from MNP into Power BI for analysis and reporting. This would involve establishing secure data flows, mapping data fields between the two systems, and ensuring that updates in MNP are reflected in Power BI dashboards to support informed business decisions.

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

Why connect MNP and Microsoft Power BI?

A company that operates both MNP and Microsoft Power BI could benefit from connecting these systems to enable more efficient and accurate data exchange. If the two systems were not connected, staff may need to manually enter the same data into both platforms, which could increase the risk of errors, inconsistencies, and wasted effort. Over time, records could drift apart as updates made in one system are not reflected in the other, leading to discrepancies that undermine reporting accuracy and business decision-making. Decision-makers could end up relying on outdated or incomplete information, which could negatively impact planning and operational effectiveness. If a connection were established, it could enable the transfer of key business data between MNP and Microsoft Power BI. The types of data exchanged would depend on the nature of MNP and the reporting or analytical needs addressed by Power BI. For example, companies could transfer sales figures, financial records, inventory levels, or operational metrics, depending on what is available in MNP and useful for analysis in Power BI. The specifics of what can be exchanged depend on the data each system makes available through its API and should be evaluated for each individual 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 MNP 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.
