Power BI is an excellent way to visualize data your organization has already connected. Public civic records rarely arrive in that state.
Power BI
A leading enterprise business intelligence and visualization platform.
Excels at dashboards and reports once data is modeled and loaded.
Typically requires a data team to build and maintain the connections.
General-purpose — not built specifically around civic or public records.
ALKARTIS
Sources, cleans, and connects public records before any visualization happens.
Purpose-built around specific civic questions, not general BI modeling.
No dedicated data team required to maintain the underlying connections.
Every figure traces back to a specific, checkable public source.
Power BI is exceptional at showing your organization's own connected data. ALKARTIS is what does the connecting when the data is public records, not your own systems.
Frequently asked questions
Could our team feed ALKARTIS data into Power BI?
API access to the underlying Intelligence Engine is available on Government & Enterprise plans, for teams who want the connected data in their own BI stack.
Is ALKARTIS trying to compete with Power BI generally?
No — for general enterprise data, Power BI remains an excellent choice. ALKARTIS is specifically about connecting and interpreting public civic records.
