Discover NowSignage's seamless integration with Microsoft Power BI, enhancing your digital displays with real-time data insights for impactful communication.

Instant and secure access to all your reports

Accessing reports could not be simpler. Activate this app from the NowSignage in-platform app store and connect using your Microsoft credentials. Through this secure integration, you can load your workspaces and choose which reports to make available for usage on your digital signage screens.

When reports are enabled, NowSignage communicates with Power BI to generate an encrypted embed access token. This token automatically refreshes every 5 minutes to ensure that it cannot be compromised or accessed in any way.

Simple solution to a complex problem

Historically, with other CMS providers it has not been possible to display Power BI reports without making those reports public. Businesses cannot risk publishing private intelligence or confidential financial data as open links that can appear in search engines.

NowSignage solved this problem by developing a full API integration with Microsoft Power BI. This enables you to securely share reports with no visible public access and no need for shareable URLs.
