PowerBI Dashboard integration

Mr. Conner (@bconner),

I’ve been doing some research concerning Epicor in the cloud and the possibility of using PowerBI. I’ve read through this thread and it seems as though others are using it, but I’m not really clear if it’s possible. Maybe I’m missing something, but this is my situation. My company has subsidiaries using Epicor in the cloud (and I believe they’re all on the Azure platform, controlled by Epicor as SaaS cusotmers). The team I’m apart of supports the subsidiaries with their system, customizations, and reporting. Is it possible to use PowerBI either internally or externally as the reporting system at all? If so, how would this be setup and/or connected so we can support them?

Just to warn you, I am a bit new to Epicor and ERP’s in the cloud. Most of my experience has been in Microsoft Dynamics GP and on premise environments having a direct access to SQL data. I mention that to let you know I am experienced in SQL and creating queries but I’m still getting used to my data in the cloud and using BAQ’s.
