New Power BI custom visual for embedding interactive maps
Cadcorp has developed a visual for Microsoft Power BI, allowing an interactive, user-defined map to be embedded into a Power BI report.
The visualization integrates corporate mapping served by Cadcorp SIS WebMap. The user can include their own data overlays to provide additional context for their Power BI business data.
SIS WebMap for Power BI supports numerous Coordinate Reference Systems including those that use Latitude and Longitude, and Ordnance Survey Great Britain (OSGB). Data is held within the Power BI environment and linked between the visuals on the report.
“More and more Cadcorp SIS users want to integrate their corporate base map and other overlays into Power BI. Cadcorp customers that use the OSGB coordinate reference system, will for the first time, be able to directly add their data into a PowerBI visualization and include an Ordnance Survey base map.”
Gary Randle, Sales Director, Cadcorp
Organisations from a wide range of geographic and market sectors are making use of Power BI to gain greater insight into their data. Cadcorp has created some example visuals, using SIS WebMap for Power BI, which can be viewed here.
