Cosmos, a leading provider of reporting, business intelligence and analytics solutions, has announced the release of expanded data source connectivity for its platform. This new feature allows customers to incorporate data from multiple sources beyond Microsoft Dynamics Business Central cloud, merging siloed information into a unified model for seamless reporting across all historical and operational data.

This major update caters to a critical need expressed by Cosmos’ valued customers and partners. Many require access to critical data that resides in various systems and repositories outside of their core Business Central ERP platform. Previously, integrating these disparate sources for reporting and analytics demanded tedious manual processes, prone to errors, with high technical overhead.

Streamlining Data Integration for Enhanced Insights

“We’re thrilled to officially deliver this expanded data connectivity to our customers,” said Brian Petersen, Founder and COO of Cosmos. “Your data is incredibly valuable, and we understand the challenges of wrangling information from different systems. This new capability streamlines data integration so customers can focus on what really matters, the insights they need to make decisions quickly and effectively.”

Unlocking New Analytics Potential

The multi-source connectivity unlocks new analytics potential, enabling users to seamlessly incorporate historical data during transitions from legacy ERP systems to Business Central Cloud. Moving data from sources like Excel or Azure SQL into the Cosmos data warehouse ensures uninterrupted reporting.

Expanding Data Sources for Enhanced Reporting

More specifically, the new multi-source connectivity feature empowers Cosmos users to combine data from Azure SQL databases or Excel files within their Cosmos data warehouse alongside their Business Central cloud data, including extensions and third-party apps.

Reducing Friction and Manual Overhead

“The flexibility to organize and pull data from anywhere reduces friction and manual overhead for customers,” Petersen explained. “We will continue to iterate on our data strategy to provide the best analytics experience possible.”
