PI Suite Data Provider

by prisma informatik GmbH

Export your Data to Azure Blob Storage in order to use BC Data in e.g. Qlik Sense or Power BI

There is a lot of potential in corporate data. Those who make optimal use of the value of their ERP data can gain comprehensive new insights, make efficient decisions and secure important competitive advantages. Ideally, the corresponding information should always be evaluated using a suitable analysis tool, such as Qlik Sense or Power BI.
But before the data can be analyzed accordingly, it has to be transferred from the ERP software Dynamics 365 Business Central to the analysis software. Here, using the PI Suite Data Provider offers a convenient export functionality, especially if classic web services are not suitable for the required data export.

The dynamic PI Suite Data Provider enables the user to export the required information in table form out of the ERP system on a time-controlled basis at regular intervals (via task queue). The data is finally loaded into Microsoft‘s cloudbased Azure Blob Storage and then uploaded to the desired analysis platform, like Power BI or QLik Sense, for further use. Which tables are exported can be defined independently. Data exchange with Azure Blob Storage files is standard with the analysis platforms. The PI Suite Data Provider is installed as an extension in the desired Business Central environment in no time via the extension management and can then be used immediately for data export.

Your Benefits:


  • Fast and easy data provision of information from Business Central through dynamic export functionality
  • Time-controlled and individual data export (e.g. daily or hourly) of desired tables or only individual fields
  • Configuration of tables for data transfer without complex Business Central programming
  • Very high data transfer speed compared to standard web services and no additional web services required
  • Data transfer from multiple clients configurable (multi-client management)
  • Data exchange via Azure Blob Storage included in the standard of common analysis platforms (e.g. Qlik Sense, Power BI)
  • Various formats possible for data export (e.g. json, xml, csv)
  • Different field labels for json files selectable (FieldNo, FieldName, Caption) - for intelligent processing structures in the receiving systems
  • Calculated fields (SIFT fields) can be transferred from Business Central (e.g. customer balance, item inventory, item availability etc.)
  • Customer-specific tables or data from third-party modules (apps) can also be transferred
