I see that Microsoft has added to their roadmap this item, "Sync Message Center posts to Planner"

Is this the same solution that you are offering? What is Microsoft plan? I see that the status is launched and that the release is Q2 CY2020. It is June 2020 now.
I am in a similar situation where I need the data to be reviewed and assigned to a change person. I have an API that downloads all of the details into a SQL server. Now just looking at developing a MS PowerApp to access it and update a few fields. Then use Power BI to report on it. Thoughts?

Hi Ty Lewis it is fair to say this feature grew out of the idea I had after showing the team what I'd come up with., but the team delivering it are doing it in a much more scalable way as it is going to all our customers. They've done a much better job on the formatting of the content too. They have also taken the decision to just put all the new messages for your chosen workloads into one bucket - so that they can be triaged and assigned. You might well be able to automate some of that with PowerApps - and if I get some time I'm certainly going to be playing around with that. I'm fortunate that it is already running in my tenant and I think the broader roll-out should be happening very soon. The Power BI angle may still be a bit of a challenge - but you could push stuff with PowerApps into a more Power BI friendly store maybe?
Best regards,
Brian
