Hey John - We're basically looking to grab Inventory, licensing, and typical ITAM data out of Flexera and publish it outwards.
We can do custom reporting and whatnot internally, but do not plan on giving Flexera access to a broad group of consumers, as it quickly becomes "too many cooks in the kitchen" so to speak.
It looks like right now - the general consensus is basically to just use the API to pull basic data from ITAM, and over time more of the database will become available as an endpoint.
I do see the 'custom reporting' export was just added to the API - so what might be an option is basically to just export out an custom report on automated basis to be pulled up into a tableau or a powerbi.
The idea is we can create dashboards for specific business users/cases that can be refreshed on a cadence. Additionally, there's times where we may need to supplement custom data from spreadsheets (e.g. for chargeback purposes, a lot of times you have to run some proprietary excel stuff before you can match against Flexera's consumption data)
hope that helps!
