Integrate Business Intelligence into a Web Application

Sammanfattning: Today, the construction industry handles and analyzes a lot of data manually. This can be a very time-consuming process that could be improved by introducing Business Intelligence (BI). BI is a technology that could visualize the current status of a company automatically, with the help of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).MVP Software is a company that has developed a project management tool, ”Projektportalen”, for companies in the construction industry. MVP Software would like to enhance their application with BI functionality.This thesis researches, through a case study, how BI functionalities could be integrated into the web application Projektportalen. The case study consisted of interviews and explorations of Microsoft’s product Power BI.The final result is a list of desired BI functionalities in Projektportalen. The result also consists of a suggested updated architecture of Projektportalen for a Power BI integration and how an example dashboard could be created. Actual implementations in source code could be conducted in the future to integrate Power BI. The example dashboard could also be further developed into a dashboard prototype.
