Data connections outside Microsoft/PBI

Hello,

 

My organization is investigating if we can connect to datases outside of Microsoft, like SQL in another system. Is this a useful practice or at all possible?

 

Kindly,

    Hi shavora 

    Yes, Power BI allows you to connect to a number of non-Microsoft data sources, including SQL Server.

      Do you know if there are some best practices or limitations connecting to a non-Microsoft data source? I am struggling to find information regarding this.
