WingArc1st brings Microsoft Power BI integration to its data analysis platform Dr.Sum

WingArc1st Inc.

On May 26, WingArc1st Inc. will release the latest update module of its data analysis platform, Dr.Sum Ver.5.6. This update enables integration with Microsoft Power BI.

Dr.Sum has typically been used together with Dr.Sum Datalizer and the MotionBoard BI dashboard as a database that enables high-speed aggregation of various data accumulated across a company. With the increase and diversification of the data used, the Dr.Sum database engine is now being required to handle data faster and more flexibly in more situations. The latest version of Dr.Sum can now be integrated with Power BI. By strengthening collaboration with other BI tools, we will deliver a highly convenient data utilization environment to a wide range of customers. This will allow Dr.Sum users to use different interfaces depending on their usage, while Power BI users will be able to choose Dr.Sum and easily build a data mart with no programming.

Major new features and enhancements
・Integration with Power BI
Power BI can aggregate and analyze data from the Dr.Sum Database engine.
(*) Integration with the Power BI service requires an on-premises data gateway provided by Microsoft.

・Implementation of in-memory high-availability configurations
Enables operation in high-availability configurations for continuous service delivery.

・Enhanced TableEditor functionality enables flexible data entry and updated screen design
The TableEditor function, which allows data entry and updates from Microsoft Excel to the Dr.Sum database engine, has added an "input format" card type in addition to the existing spreadsheet and form types. This adds flexibility to the design of data entry and update screens.

・On-premises version of Dr.Sum Datalizer for Web report definition migration tool
Support for migration to MotionBoard Cloud Entry Edition in response to the need to use cloud services.

・Implementation of Python Developer Tool
Functions are now available to deploy data files such as Python files and models to the Dr.Sum server, as well as manage Python libraries in bulk.

・Integartion of Dr.Sum Datalizer for Web and Dr.Sum Datalizer for Excel
Seamless data entry and update is possible by launching the Excel add-in, TableEditor, from tabulation results or a spreadsheet in a web browser.
