Why CData for Sage 50 UK Power BI Connectivity
Break free from data loading limitations and on-premises restrictions of Sage 50 UK reporting in Power BI. Easily connect Microsoft Power BI with live Sage 50 UK data for up-to-date visual analysis and reporting.
High-performance Sage 50 UK Connectivity
Eliminate Sage 50 UK performance & query speed issues in minutes
Large datasets often slow down reports and dashboards in Power BI due to its in-memory model. However, CData's Power BI Connector for Sage 50 UK overcomes these challenges with advanced query optimization and Direct Query support. By leveraging Direct Query, you can avoid loading your entire Sage 50 UK dataset into local memory and instead benefit from efficient server-side processing.
Breakthrough Power BI data volume and storage limits
Power BI Pro imposes a 1GB dataset size limit, and even Premium workspaces have constraints on query performance. The CData Power BI Connector supports Direct Query, reducing the amount of data retrieved when analyzing Sage 50 UK data. Instead of loading the entire Sage 50 UK dataset, only the necessary subset of query results is returned for your reports, optimizing performance and efficiency.
Microsoft Power BI
Comprehensive Sage 50 UK data and metadata discovery
Find the Sage 50 UK data you need for reports — fast and easy.
The Sage 50 UK Connector provides full access to both data and metadata, enabling efficient automated data exploration and discovery. It features intelligent row scanning, type detection, relationship mapping, and support for unstructured data. These capabilities allow Power BI to recognize data fields without the need for casting or conversion, making it easier and faster for users to create meaningful reports.
Simplify report development with SQL-like querying
Certain data sources, such as Sage 50 UK and other NoSQL databases, lack native support for SQL-like queries, often requiring data transformation before use in Power BI. CData simplifies this process with a built-in SQL transformation layer that automatically translates SQL queries into real-time data source calls. This enables seamless Sage 50 UK integration, making it as straightforward as connecting to a traditional relational database.
Live Sage 50 UK reporting. No ETL Required
Mitigate security & compliance risks vs. other integrations
CData's live Power BI connectivity for Sage 50 UK overcomes the challenges associated with traditional integration methods like ETL and local data replication. Unlike data replication, live querying enhances security and compliance by eliminating risks such as data staleness, inconsistency, and corruption. It also reduces exposure from overprivileged access and delayed revocation while minimizing the attack surface created by duplicate copies. Additionally, live connectivity simplifies regulatory compliance by ensuring better adherence to data residency, retention policies, and auditability requirements.
Native Power BI Gateway and Power Platform support
Sage 50 UK Power BI Connector supports the use from Power BI Gateway. Power BI on-premises gateway allows publish and auto-refresh the data set in your Power BI Desktop to Power BI cloud and other Microsoft Power Platform services such as Power Apps and Power Automate.
Cloud-to-cloud integration with auto-refresh
Sometimes setting up Power BI Gateway is not an option. IT departments often resist installing the Power BI on-premises gateway due to security concerns over data access and credential storage. They may also be reluctant because of the added maintenance burden and potential network vulnerabilities.
CData Connect Cloud transforms Sage 50 UK data connectivity by removing the need for a local gateway. This enables Power BI service users to refresh data seamlessly within Power BI, ensuring they always work with the latest Sage 50 UK data. While it doesn't yet support Direct Query mode, CData Connect Cloud is the ideal choice for deploying auto-refreshing Power BI reports in the cloud.
