From OPC Dashboarding to in-depth insights with Power BI and API integration

Create an overview of your project with dashboards and improve communication to stakeholders and management. Oracle Primavera Cloud (OPC) offers its own dashboard module for this purpose, which allows you to create visual representations of schedules, risks and costs. Despite this, the dashboard functionality of OPC remains limited when you really need in-depth insights.

Examples of OPC Dashboard functionality

At BAEKEN, we solve this by accessing the data from OPC via an API and further visualizing it in Power BI. In this way, we combine the power of OPC with the flexibility and analysis capabilities of Power BI, leading to smarter insights and better decisions.

The limitations of OPC dashboarding

OPC’s dashboard module provides a good foundation, such as standard charts and visualizations of project progress, trends, and tasks. OPC also makes it easy to share dashboards with colleagues and team members. Nevertheless, the system has its shortcomings:

  • Limited customizability and chart options;
  • No possibility to combine data with other data sources;
  • Less suitable for in-depth analysis and custom visualizations.

As a result, with OPC dashboarding, you are often stuck with superficial insights. For organizations that want more, accessing OPC data via an APIsouth is a solution.

From OPC data to flexible dashboards with Power BI

At BAEKEN, we use OPC ‘s API to make all available project data instantly and fully accessible. Through this link to Power BI, we bring data together and create in-depth, interactive dashboards that fit the needs of your project, program, or portfolio.

What makes our approach unique?

  1. Customized visualizations: KPIs, risk monitoring, resource utilization, and performance indicators are presented bespoke to your organization.
  2. Integration with other data sources: Combine OPC data with financial information, HR data, and operational reports for cross-functional analysis.
  3. Insight into risks and opportunities: Interactive dashboards show in real-time which tasks, risks, or milestones need attention.
  4. Easy communication: Clear, visual dashboards increase stakeholder support and make complex analyses easy to understand.

Looking ahead: tailored insight for the entire organization

By integrating OPC data into Power BI, you optimize your project management in a way that matches modern expectations of data-driven decision making. API-driven dashboards not only offer more flexibility, but also provide a broader perspective on project performance, budget monitoring, and resource management. Imagine: one-click access to project performance and the ability to make proactive adjustments at the project level.
