Business Central 365 (BC) offers advanced integration capabilities through its APIs and OData endpoints. In addition, BC provides the AL language to further customize the BC platform, some of which can be exposed as custom HTTP/S endpoints.

Enzo Unified announces formal support for BC 365 for both the Enzo Server and DataZen platforms, enabling multiple integration use cases:

• Business Process Automation: build rapid integration scripts to automate your FinOps business processes
• Rapid Integration: expose BC API, OData, and your custom AL endpoints as SQL commands for rapid integration
• Explore Data: explore your data quickly using SQL commands against the BC API
• Build/Augment your Data Lake: augment your AWS, Azure, or BC Data Lake with BC data for better reporting and data analysis
• Add AI to your FinOps Process: Flow your FinOps data through an AI platform such as Microsoft OpenAI to add scoring metrics, detect anomalies and more

Integrate with Business Central to implement Business Process Automation, explore your data, and augment your Data Lake in Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud.

Using Enzo Server

With Enzo Server, solving integration problems with Business Central becomes easier because Enzo exposes the full BC API as SQL commands that can be used directly from SQL Server. To discover the capabilities of Enzo Server for Business Central, and how to make SQL calls to Business Central, see the following resources:

• List of SQL Commands:
  See the online documentation for a list of SQL commands supported.
  With over 400 commands, the entire BC API is available directly.
  Additional commands are available to call the ODataV4 and custom AL endpoints (see the next bullet item)
  
  
• GitHub Project for Enzo Business Central:
  See the GitHub documentation for an overview of supported calls, OAuth security, and other methods allowing you to call ODataV4 and custom AL endpoints.
  This repo will grow over time with additional sample code
  
  

Enzo Server allows you to implement an integration layer that is easy to maintain and reuses existing skill sets in your organization. Changing your business logic as your business grows is both quick and easy. As a result, Enzo Server reduces your Integration Platform Total Cost of Ownership significantly.

Although your integration team can build the integration on your own, the Enzo team can also perform the initial integration work for Enzo Server with your Business Central environment and maintain it for you or turn over the SQL Script(s) to your team for ongoing maintenance.

Using DataZen

DataZen is a point-and-click data ingestion pipeline used to move data in and out of Business Central or other platforms. You can, for example, build a pipeline to extract Vendors, Customers, and Items from BC and load them in a Data Lake, or just identify changes and push events into your messaging platforms (such as AWS SQS, Kafka, Event Hub...). DataZen also allows you to augment your data with external services including OpenAI platforms to augment your data with anomaly detection, summarization, and more.

• DataZen Online Documentation:
  See the online DataZen documentation for an overview of its capabilities
  DataZen supports countless services and APIs including HTTP/S sources and Enzo Server
  Access the BC API, ODataV4, and custom AL endpoints with point-and-click ease
  
  
• Replication & Data Lake Augmentation:
  Quickly extract your BC data and replicate changes to your distributed applications and create/augment your Data Lake for centralized reporting.
  DataZen supports relational such as SQL Server & no-sql targets including CosmosDB and Google BigQuery
  Export full extracts and changes as flat files or Parquet files in Azure ADLS, AWS S3, or GDrive for big data ingestion
  
  

Summary

Enzo Server and DataZen provide extensive support for the Business Central 365 API, ODataV4, and custom AL endpoints and allow organizations to quickly enable key capabilities, including Business Process Automation, Rapid Integration, Data Exploration, Data Lake ingestion, and OpenAI augmentation with anomaly scoring and more.
