We're working on scaling up dashboarding outside of Flexera (e.g. Tableau/PowerBI - not the Cognos module). Namely, this will be using the IT Asset Management Data API (flexera.com) . We have run some pilots with Tableau & PowerBI in which we extrac...

@ChrisG this is really helpful, thanks!. I am trying to correlate this to the other article describing this: Inventory Comparison Matrix. Specifically, the 'inventory comparison matrix' refers to the Flexera Agent having coverage for Virtualization ...
