Hi everyone, 

I'm new to IBM and Finance in general and work out of the IT department. We are looking to implement Planning Analytics but would need integration with Dynamics Finance as the data source. Can anyone here suggest methods for integration or details around best practices? From some initial research, I've seen IBM ACE and third party options as potential solutions but wanted to check in with the community before reaching proceeding further. 

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

AA

Hey AA,
We're on D365 and using DMF to export data entities to Azure BYOD. We have an ODBC connection to the BYOD database which the TI scripts use as a data source. It was the best option at the time and has worked fine, but we will eventually start using data lake to feed Snowflake (then connect to Snowflake by ODBC).
