  • WorkflowMax-Power BI Integration: Problems With The Connector Approach​

    Being able to easily build interactive dashboards and visualize WorkflowMax data in Power BI can be a game changer. The only problem? No standard WorkflowMax-Power BI connector exists.

    Businesses either have to settle with querying extracted CSVs to connect WorkflowMax data to Power BI that add unnecessary man-hours to project timelines or develop native connectivity in-house, requiring substantial multi-domain expertise and development costs. 

    Even with a fully configured connection interface, fetching WorkflowMax data in PowerBI has its limits.

    1.Integration Complexities

    An integration interface poses various limits for importing data. Users must first have an optimized WorkflowMax-Power BI connector to smoothly import all WorkflowMax data and also spend time modifying data through transformations to ensure it conforms to a standard format prior to being used for PowerBI reports.

     

    2. Lack of Multi-Entity Consolidation

    Businesses often have financial data scattered in disparate accounting systems including Xero, QuickBooks, and Excel. Being able to consolidate all sources to keep track of all historical data and utilize it for rolling forecasts, budgeting, and other financial planning uses would require having a fully configured connector for each software that can cost a fortune in licensing and platform or development costs.

    3. Static and One-Dimensional Reporting

    The lack of write-back features means WorkflowMax reporting isn’t dynamic enough to be changed, edited, or amended in near real-time within Power BI. Also, the lack of templates means that multiple reports would have to be made to keep track of varying categories that can hinder cross-functional collaboration efforts.
