Integrating Locus Applications with Microsoft Power BI Using Locus APIs

One of the most requested integrations is to combine Locus applications with business intelligence (BI) software such as Microsoft’s Power BI and Salesforce’s Tableau software. These applications, and others like them, ingest offline and online data sources and present the data in various types of interactive visualizations, such as line charts, scatter plots, or dot maps. A user can perform further analysis on the data to look for trends and make predictions. The user can also arrange the visualizations into custom dashboards or reports, and then share these with other users.

Organizations with EHS data may already have invested time, money, and effort to create custom visualizations and reports in their business intelligence software. Because Locus EHS software can be integrated with business intelligence software, users can leverage their data stored in their EHS system to maximize their investments in business intelligence software.

This document provides an outline for how to integrate Locus EIM and Locus Platform (LP) with Microsoft’s Power BI.
