Metrica Software, a provider of production-grade Power BI connectivity for enterprise systems, today reported that analytics and IT leaders are reassessing how operational data reaches Power BI. Organizations that spent years investing in custom-built data pipelines are now asking whether that investment was ever necessary.
Enterprise analytics inherited a working assumption that complex operational environments require custom engineering to connect reliably to reporting platforms. Custom pipelines and scripted exports became standard infrastructure, maintained by engineering teams whose involvement became a permanent operational dependency.
Dedicated connectors built natively within enterprise platform ecosystems have long carried a different capability profile. Certified to platform standards, operating within the platform's own security and data model, handling schema evolution as a design requirement: these are purpose-built components of the platforms they serve, not simplified integration tools.
“When organizations seriously compare a dedicated Power BI connector to what they have built internally, the conclusion is consistent,” said Anton Storozhuk, CEO and founder of Metrica Software. “The capability was there all along. What was missing was confidence, and that confidence gap carries a real cost.”
The operational cost of custom connectivity is rarely calculated in full. Maintaining pipelines as platforms evolve, repairing them when schemas change, scaling them as data volumes grow: costs that accumulate quietly until they cannot be ignored.
Metrica Software develops dedicated Power BI connectors certified by and built natively within the ecosystems they serve. Its Power BI Connector for SAP and Power BI Connector for Salesforce are designed for organizations where analytical reliability, governed data access, and long-term operational stability are standing requirements.
