Why Integrate Asta PowerProject with Microsoft Fabric and Power BI?
Managing construction projects involves juggling numerous tasks, timelines, and resources. Asta PowerProject is a powerful tool for planning and scheduling, but its native capabilities can be significantly enhanced through integration with Microsoft Fabric and Power BI. Our solution offers:
/ Enhanced Data Insights: Gain deeper insights into your construction programme with advanced analytics and visualisations.
/ Custom Data Schema: Our bespoke data schema extracts the necessary data from PowerProject, tailored to common contractor requirements and standardised for rapid deployment.
/ Standardised Data Transformations: Using our Python notebooks, we have standardised all data transformations required, packaged for rapid deployment to Microsoft Fabric or Azure Data platforms.
/ Pre-built Power BI Templates: Our Power BI templates are compatible with the extracted and transformed data, providing instant visualisation and analysis capabilities. These templates include:
-
- Portfolio Dashboard: Giving insights into the performance of projects across large portfolios, with interactive tooltips and drilldown capabilities into further detail.
- Summary Report: An overview of your project’s key metrics and performance indicators, with automatically generated written commentary.
- S-Curves: Visualise progress and performance against the baseline schedule, tailored for any combination of code library or programme path – Advancing the native functionality of PowerProject.
- Activity Overview: Further insights into the performance of the schedule.
- Schedule Health: Detailed schedule health checks against stress tests such as the CIOB Planning Protocol. Visualise the performance of any part of the schedule, again building on the native functionality of PowerProject
- Lookaheads: Allow report viewers (Such as site or package managers) to generate short terms lookaheads to help the manage activities due to be started or finished in the period.
- Resource Management: Track planned resource levels for any code library or programme path, with potential integration with the site entrance system to track the actuals.
Acumine have experience integrating PowerProject data for multiple Tier 1 Contractors, each with their own implementation of PowerProject – Whether that be standalone licenses, Asta Enterprise or Asta Vision. Read our McLaren Case Study.
We can work in any of these environments but have found that contractors who transition to Asta Vision are reaping the rewards of better process and governance – ultimately improving the reliability of their schedules and the quality of data across their portfolio. Learn more about Asta Vision.
