02The adapter

A Connectify-owned Power BI adapter, not a packaged connector

The platform handles that by keeping the Power BI adapter inside our own runtime, monitored by our SRE rotation and updated as Microsoft ships breaking changes. That means the field maps, sync cadences, and replay rules are shaped to your exact data model — including Embedded analytics inside Connectify with AAD pass-through and DAX measure deploy pipeline manageable from Admin. For engineering firms, the difference shows up the first time the upstream API throws a 500 — the adapter retries, journals the failure, and never silently swallows a transaction.

Where Power BI usually breaks — and how the adapter holds

The friction surface that matters is project budgets and subconsultant management. The adapter neutralizes that by mapping every payload through a versioned schema layer with explicit lineage — every record can be traced from the Power BI originating event down to the field that wrote it, and the ledger stays clean every morning. The adapter also ships with DAX measure deploy pipeline manageable from Admin so the runtime can keep up when engineering firm crews push volume spikes during seasonal peaks.

Why Engineering Firms pull Power BI integration the hardest

Engineering Firms are constantly fighting project budgets and subconsultant management — and Power BI sits exactly in the middle of that workflow. Connectify pre-maps the Power BI entities the industry actually uses (not the entire vendor catalog) and wires Embedded analytics inside Connectify with AAD pass-through into the lifecycle that matters: plan-to-make. That is the difference between a connector that lights up a checkbox and an adapter that so customer service finally sees the same record sales does.

Commercial terms — one flat monthly plan, no setup fee

Connectify charges a monthly retainer sized to your message volume — no per-API-call gotchas, no per-seat surcharges, and no setup fee to get started. The Power BI adapter goes live only after it is reconciled and signed off by the team that will operate it inside the engineering firm workflow. A one-page exit clause hands you the code if you ever leave, so Connectify keeps the adapter working under load to keep your business.

05FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. What does pricing look like?

    The Power BI adapter runs on a flat monthly retainer sized to message volume — no per-API-call gotchas, no per-seat surcharges, no setup fee, and a one-page exit clause.

  2. How is data security handled?

    Tokens and credentials live inside a hardware-backed secret store with audit logging on every read. The Power BI adapter runs on isolated workers with deny-by-default egress, and every message is replayable from a tamper-evident journal for downstream forensics.

  3. Do we own the integration code at the end?

    Yes. The Connectify Power BI adapter ships with full source escrow rights — at any point you can request a snapshot of the code, configuration, and runbooks. We prefer you stay on our managed runtime, but you are never locked in.

  4. Does it work with our existing Power BI licenses?

    Yes — the adapter rides on top of your existing Power BI subscription. We use service-principal or OAuth M2M credentials so the integration never burns a named-user seat and never pushes you into a higher tier.

  5. How long does the Power BI integration take to ship?

    Our standard window is thirty days from signed scope to live Power BI adapter in production, plus a one-week monitored stabilization phase. For Engineering Firms, that includes a sandbox loop with your team, parallel-run reconciliation, and a documented runbook handed to your operations lead.

  6. What happens if Power BI changes their API after we go live?

    Our SRE team monitors Power BI change announcements and rolls compatibility updates inside our maintenance retainer. If a breaking change ships, we own the migration; you don't pay extra to stay current and you don't field calls from the vendor.
