02The adapter

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

Connectify removes that friction 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 REST + XMLA endpoint coverage for dataset push and refresh and Row-level security mapping from Connectify roles. For teams in Chicago, 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 day-to-day pain shows up in patching legacy CSV exports every month-end. The platform handles 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 founder gets a real dashboard instead of spreadsheets. The adapter also ships with Row-level security mapping from Connectify roles so the runtime can keep up when Chicago-based teams push volume spikes during seasonal peaks.

Built for Chicago operators — not a generic SaaS template

Chicago sits inside a logistics web tied to inland rail, river and interstate freight — that shapes how Connectify configures the Power BI adapter for teams in the metro. Local payroll calendars, Illinois tax codes, and the specific cadence Chicago accountants close their books all influence default sync schedules. Pair that with DAX measure deploy pipeline manageable from Admin and the Power BI surface stops being a vendor obligation and becomes a quiet utility your team forgets is running.

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 in Chicago. 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.

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 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 Chicago, Illinois, that includes a sandbox loop with your team, parallel-run reconciliation, and a documented runbook handed to your operations lead.

  3. Will this break our existing reports?

    No. The adapter writes through a versioned schema layer with full lineage. Existing reports, BI extracts and Excel pivot-tables keep working unchanged while new fields and new objects are added behind the scenes for the Power BI surface.

  4. Is this a packaged Power BI connector or a custom build?

    It is a Connectify-owned adapter, not a third-party packaged connector. We maintain the code, we monitor the runtime, and the fields, hooks, and reconciliation rules are shaped to your exact data model — not a generic schema we hope matches.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.
