CardioLog Analytics allows for full integration with Microsoft Power BI, which enables stakeholders and portal administrators to perform quick, on-demand actions with their data using intuitive reporting dashboards, monitor relevant KPIs, and to search through the data easily.

Solution Architecture

Data Layer

A "data warehouse" is built on top of the CardioLog Analytics database using an ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) process.

The multi-dimensional tabular model enables fast and reliable aggregated queries from the data warehouse and a semantic layer for the end users. The tabular model contains security based role assignments. Accordingly, end users will have to be authenticated using Active Directory.

The database layer, which includes the data warehouse, ETL process and multidimensional tabular model, can reside on a server on-premise, or in the cloud. 

Presentation Layer

The integration is available for on-premise, hybrid, and cloud-based deployments of Microsoft Power BI:

  1. On-premise:
    1. Reports in Excel - Power BI view and Excel pivot tables
    2. Reports embedded in SharePoint (Excel services)
  2. Hybrid: Microsoft Power BI cloud interface with an on-premise database
  3. Cloud-based: Microsoft Power BI cloud interface with a cloud-based database



Data workflow: From Data Source to Data Presentation
