Lake Oswego, Oregon— Cosmos, a leading provider of reporting, business intelligence and analytics solutions, today announced the release of expanded data source connectivity for its platform. The 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 fulfills a highly requested need from Cosmos’ valued customers and partners who need to access critical data that exists across various systems and repositories outside of their core Business Central ERP platform. Bringing these disparate sources together for reporting and analytics previously required tedious manual, error-prone processes with high technical overhead. “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.” The multi-source connectivity unlocks new analytics potential. Users can now seamlessly incorporate historical data as they transition from legacy ERP systems to Business Central Cloud. By moving data from sources like Excel or Azure SQL into the Cosmos data warehouse, reporting remains undisrupted. More specifically, the new multi-source connectivity feature allows Cosmos’ users to marry data inside of their Cosmos data warehouse from Azure SQL databases or Excel files alongside all their Business Central cloud data, including extensions and third-party apps. “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.” Hear more from Anthony Bonaduce on this exciting announcement Introducing Multi-Source Data Connectivity Learn more about using Cosmos to incorporate data from multiple sources beyond Microsoft Dynamics Business Central, merging siloed information for seamless reporting across all historical and operational data.
