Power BI Connector for OpenText xECM

Our Power BI Connector is designed to embed Microsoft Power Bi into your OpenText xECM system, which ensures the right tool right at your hands.

Bringing the power of Power BI inside Extended ECM (xECM) will bring great benefits to your company.  

Power BI Connector

Information right at your fingertips

Reports and insights are available right by your fingertips from within a Business Workspace in xECM, connecting data insights in the business process to where the information is. 

It also allows you to combine a variety of data sources to make the needed dashboards that bring great value to your business users.

Data from xECM (Content Server database), from Microsoft as well as from leading applications can all be combined in one Power BI dashboard with the Power BI Connector designed for xECM by OpenText.

Visualization When You Need It

The benefits of a Power BI Connector

A user does not have to open or switch to different application. Extended ECM passes information already on to Power BI, meaning the shown dashboards are relevant to the business area.

As example, when a certain Customer Account workspace is shown in extended ECM, those data are passed to Power BI in background, so the dashboards only show data filtered for that selected Account. 

This is of course possible for any of the metadata available in that extended ECM workspace   

The Power BI Connector Package

The package that Turnpikes offers has short-time-to-value and includes: 

  • The Connector which can be installed on xECM to embed Power BI into xECM business workspaces. 
  • Documentation on configuration. 
  • Template Power BI reports that combine data from several data sources, like OpenText Extended ECM (Content Server DB), Microsoft Teams 

Turnpikes Experts can provide training, support and additional Power BI Reports based on your requirements.  

The Power BI Connector is supported for OpenText xECM version 16.0 or later.
