 ===== How do I connect an historian to the Industrial App Store? =====
+App Store Connect ships with connectors for most Industrial Data Historians. The configuration required for each will be slightly different, but the general procedure is the same:
+  - Install App Store Connect
+  - Configure Real Time Data Source
+More information is availble on: [[data_core:how_to_connect_your_data_to_the_app_store|How to Connect your data to the App Store]].

 ===== Can I use the Industrial App Store to collaborate with colleagues in other companies? =====
+The [[https://www.ogauthority.co.uk/media/1014/ukcs_maximising_recovery_review.pdf|Wood Review on UK offshore oil and gas recovery (2014)]] identified:
+   the need for far greater constructive collaboration between operators
+With this in mind, we desiged data collaboration at the heart of the Industrial App Store. Organizations can enable trusts that enable their employees to work together.

 You only need to install App Store Connect if you want to connect data to applications. If your organization is already registed with the Industrial App Store, the chances are that an App Store Connect has already been set-up and access to organzation data sources configured. If so, you should contact your App Store Connect administrator and request access.

 ===== How do Microsoft Power Tools (Power BI, Flow Automate, Power Apps) integrate with the Industrial App Store? =====
+In March 2019 Microsoft announced that Power BI Desktop would ship with [[https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-march-2019-feature-summary/#IntelligentPlantsIndustrialAppStore|Intelligent Plant’s Industrial App Store connector]]. This means you can now connect your Industrial Data Historians directly Power BI reports (no need to export to excel or SQL first).
+Connectors for Microsoft Power Apps and Automate soon followed.

 ===== My country/company has strict data protection laws. Can I still use the Industrial App Store? =====
+App Store Connect can be a good solution where data protection laws prohibit the migration of data across borders. App Store Connect enables access to existing data sources rather than moving data to alternative repositories in other countries.
