Dynamics 365 Drivers & Connectors
for Data Integration

The Dynamics 365 driver acts like a bridge that facilitates communication between various applications and Dynamics 365, allowing the application to read data as if it were a relational database. The Dynamics 365 driver abstracts the complexities of Dynamics 365 APIs, authentication methods, and data types, making it simple for any application to connect to Dynamics 365 data in real-time via standard SQL queries.

Working with a Dynamics 365 Driver is different than connecting with Dynamics 365 through other means. Dynamics 365 API integrations require technical experience from a software developer or IT resources. Additionally, due to the constant evolution of APIs and services, once you build your integration you have to constantly maintain Dynamics 365 integration code moving forward.

By comparison, our Dynamics 365 Drivers offer codeless access to live Dynamics 365 data for both technical and non-technical users alike. Any user can install our drivers and begin working with live Dynamics 365 data from any client application. Because our drivers conform to standard data interfaces like ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET etc. they offer a consistent, maintenance-free interface to Dynamics 365 data. We manage all of the complexities of Dynamics 365 integration within each driver and deploy updated drivers as systems evolve so your applications continue to run seamlessly.

If you need truly zero-maintenance integration, check out connectivity to Dynamics 365 via CData Connect Cloud. With Connect Cloud you can configure all of your data connectivity in one place and connect to Dynamics 365 from any of the available Cloud Drivers and Client Applications. Connectivity to Dynamics 365 is managed in the cloud, and you never have to worry about installing new drivers when Dynamics 365 is updated.

Many organizations draw attention to their library of connectors. After all, data connectivity is a core capability needed for applications to maximize their business value. However, it is essential to understand exactly what you are getting when evaluating connectivity. Some vendors are happy to offer connectors that implement basic proof-of-concept level connectivity. These connectors may highlight the possibilities of working with Dynamics 365, but often only provide a fraction of capability. Finding real value from these connectors usually requires additional IT or development resources.

Unlike these POC-quality connectors, every CData Dynamics 365 driver offers full-featured Dynamics 365 data connectivity. The CData Dynamics 365 drivers support extensive Dynamics 365 integration, providing access to all of the Dynamics 365 data and meta-data needed by enterprise integration or analytics projects. Each driver contains a powerful embedded SQL engine that offers applications easy and high-performance access to all Dynamics 365 data. In addition, our drivers offer robust authentication and security capabilities, allowing users to connect securely across a wide range of enterprise configurations.

With our drivers and connectors, every data source is essentially SQL-based. The CData Dynamics 365 driver contains a full SQL-92 compliant engine that translates standard SQL queries into Dynamics 365 API calls dynamically. Queries are parsed and optimized for each data source, pushing down as much of the request to Dynamics 365 as possible. Any logic that can not be pushed to Dynamics 365 is handled transparently client-side by the driver/connector engine. Ultimately, this means that Dynamics 365 looks and acts exactly like a database to any client application or tool. Users can integrate live Dynamics 365 connectivity with ANY software solution that can talk to a standard database.

Using the CData Dynamics 365 drivers and connectors, Dynamics 365 can be easily integrated with almost any application. Any software or technology that can integrate with a database or connect with standards-based drivers like ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET, etc., can use our drivers for live Dynamics 365 data connectivity. Explore some of the more popular Dynamics 365 data integrations online.

Additionally, since Dynamics 365 supported by CData Connect Cloud, we enable all kinds of new Dynamics 365 cloud integrations.

Dynamics 365 Analytics and Dynamics 365 Cloud BI integration is universally supported for BI and data science. In addition, CData provides native client connectors for popular analytics applications like Power BI, Tableau, and Excel that simplify Dynamics 365 data integration. Additionally, native Python connectors are widely available for data science and data engineering projects that integrate seamlessly with popular tools like Pandas, SQLAlchemy, Dash, and Petl.

Dynamics 365 data integration is typically enabled with CData Sync, a robust any-to-any data pipeline solution that is easy to set up, runs everywhere, and offers comprehensive enterprise-class features for data engineering. CData Sync makes it easy to replicate Dynamics 365 data any database or data warehouse, and maintain parity between systems with automated incremental Dynamics 365 replication. In addition, our Dynamics 365 drivers and connectors can be easily embedded into a wide range of data integration tools to augment existing solutions.

Absolutely. The best way to integrate Dynamics 365 with Excel is by using the CData Connect Cloud Excel Add-In. The Dynamics 365 Excel Add-In provides easy Dynamics 365 integration directly from Microsoft Excel Desktop, Mac, or Web (Excel 365). Simply configure your connection to Dynamics 365 from the easy-to-use cloud interface, and access Dynamics 365 just like you would another native Excel data source.
