What challenges to expect when migrating multiple dashboards from TIBCO Spotfire to Microsoft Power BI?

Question

What challenges to expect when migrating multiple dashboards from TIBCO Spotfire to Microsoft Power BI?

Hello, I'm working at a company with more than 5000 employees.

We have multiple sets of dashboards and we're looking to migrate them from TIBCO Spotfire to Microsoft Power BI. I'm trying to make a case study before kick-starting the work.

What challenges should I expect while migrating the dashboards from TIBCO Spotfire to Microsoft Power BI? Are you aware of any tool (or a set of tools) that could help?

Otherwise, if this migration is done manually, what functionality will potentially be missing in Microsoft Power BI after this migration?

Thanks and I appreciate your help!

Thank you @Evgeny Belenky for tagging me here.

Unfortunately, there is no straight forward way to migrate dashboards from Spotfire to Power BI. You have to do it manually. The good news is that the backend data and cubes can be connected on Power BI using ODBC or REST API. Then you have to replicate the dashboards on Power BI.

Some of these discussions and references would be helpful:

The two are similar, it is cars but of different brands; I ask 1-) the users use Windows 2-) you have Office 365 3-) They will use Excel for the data. If you answer yes to the 3, better BI due to integration, and learning is easier for the user. If they are non-Microsoft databases, investigate on the provider's side, for example, SAP, IBM, etc. I have trained end users in Power BI. I know that Power BI has the majority of connectors. I hope my comment is helpful. Regards

Hi Ross, Easy is a tricky description...We are going through this effort too. We are 'grappling' with the governance of this type of access as well as the technical journey. So you are not alone. Fusion Middleware applications include a number of connectivity options including native client or Oracle Data Access Components (ODAC), with OLEDB, JDBC, etc., on top. Each has its own quirks. This is the 'plumbing' between the analytic tool and source. Adding to that is the cloud and database level security of the data source. A good way to start is to use Oracle's SQL Developer to connect to your data source. It gives developers a great query tool for Oracle and other databases. (https://www.oracle.com/databas...) Once you understand what you can access, you can easily migrate that connectivity to Power BI. Moreover, you will have validated queries that you can test directly or simply bring in the tables using the PBI Navigator.

Hi Ross,Good news! The BI Connector, a Power BI-certified connector is created exactly for this purpose!With BI Connector, it's possible to extract your Oracle Fusion data directly to Power BI. Please check it out below:https://www.biconnector.com/po...The connector works seamlessly with both Power BI Desktop and Service (or Report Server) and supports Import and Direct Query modes. It also retains the underlying table joins in the Oracle Fusion Cloud, so you don't have to recreate them from scratch in Power BI.Thanks,Dinesh
