Business Requirement:
Demand Works approached CloudFronts with the following requirement –
- Bidirectional data integration between Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and the Demand Works Cloud Smoothie® solution.
Solution Delivered:
Demand Works had developed a robust analytics platform called as Smoothie to provide analytical insights. To extract and collate the data for this purpose, they were using a NAV database backend. But when NAV received an upgrade to ‘Business Central’, Microsoft discontinued the backend access to the database. Hence, the CloudFronts team developed a custom API using AL Coding to integrate data from Business Central with Smoothie.
A subsequent Training session provided by CloudFronts helped the client’s team to deploy this complete solution on their client’s side.
“Working with the CloudFronts team was a very professional experience. They continually impressed us with their expertise and timely delivery. Also, the communication between the teams was excellent.”
— Eric Townson, CTO, Demand Works
