Challenge
The healthcare organization underwent a significant transition, migrating from an on-premise SQL Server database to the cloud-based Microsoft Dynamics 365 platform. This strategic move marked a significant shift in their operational focus from infrastructure maintenance to data management. However, the transition presented several challenges.
We recently migrated to a cloud-based database, and since we were on-premise before, that's a big move for us. Now, our responsibility mainly focuses on the data instead of maintaining the infrastructure, but we were in need of a solution that can work with both on-prem and cloud ecosystems.
Even with transitioning to a cloud database, they still needed to build reports and dashboards on-prem, applying SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services) for creating advanced analytics and building reports. For that, the data from Dynamics 365 should be replicated to SQL Server (served as a data warehouse).
Overall, the company sought a solution that could integrate with both on-premise and cloud applications, ensuring workflow continuity and answering their future needs.
We needed a solution to incrementally load data from our Dynamics 365 to an on-premise SQL Server where we can run SQL-based reports.
