MYOB to Power BI Integration – End-to-End Reporting
What is MYOB?
MYOB is a cloud and on-premise accounting, tax, and bookkeeping software aimed at small and medium-sized businesses. It provides a suite of features to help you simplify bookkeeping tasks from tracking and paying expenses to synchronizing bank feeds and managing inventories.
What is Power BI?
Power BI is an on-premise and cloud-based data visualization tool from Microsoft. It allows business intelligence professionals and data analysts to build and disseminate interactive visual reports and dashboards for analytical decision-making purposes.
MYOB to Power BI Integration: Limits of the Connector Approach
MYOB accounting software lets you automate workflows to create reports of employee and credit card payments and invoices via automation. However, since a MYOB-Power BI connector, especially Power BI online, doesn’t exist, organizations are left with an ODBC MYOB to Power BI integration or develop one in-house.
1.Shaky MYOB Integration
Going the in-house ODBC route to connect MYOB to Power BI isn’t a seamless method. Fetching MYOB row tables requires configuration by experts to make the interface easy to use for the average user. Furthermore, ODBC connectivity can’t integrate multiple entities (Xero, QuickBooks, WorkflowMax) at once, making a single source of truth challenging.
2. Suboptimal Reporting
Lack of advanced MYOB and Power BI features such as write-back and reporting templates can limit firms from adapting to fast-changing reporting requirements at runtime. Instead, it would need to be configured within the source data to effect any changes or build reports from scratch, preventing multiple teams from collaborating cohesively.
3. Traditional ETL is Time-Consuming
Consolidating multiple source systems and configuring each data model to export for a destination such as a data warehouse can not only be complicated, but also take up substantial man-hours. MYOB data would have to be optimized for the destination usually through transformations for querying before it can be loaded into Power BI to analyze any reports.
