Connect Microsoft Dynmics GP and Tableau

Connecting Microsoft Dynamics GP and Tableau for a company could enable financial and operational data from Dynamics GP to be made available for analysis and reporting in Tableau. This would involve establishing secure data access and transfer processes, ensuring data consistency, and addressing any differences in data structure or format between the two systems.

You can build this integration on the System2System platform. We design the connection between Microsoft Dynmics GP and Tableau around the way you work — not as an off-the-shelf connector, but to fit your systems.

Why connect Microsoft Dynmics GP and Tableau?

A company that runs both Microsoft Dynamics GP and Tableau could benefit from connecting these systems to enable more efficient and accurate data exchange. By allowing these platforms to share information, a business could reduce the manual effort required to transfer data, helping to avoid errors that occur when records are re-entered or updated separately. Without such a connection, there is a risk that financial or operational data in Dynamics GP and analytical reports in Tableau could drift apart, leading to inconsistencies and decisions based on outdated or mismatched figures. Common types of data that could be exchanged between a financial management system like Microsoft Dynamics GP and an analytics platform like Tableau include general ledger balances, sales transactions, inventory levels, and other key business metrics. The actual data that can be exchanged would depend on what each system exposes through its API and must be determined for each specific situation.

How System2System builds an integration

Connectors

We connect to each system through the interface it offers — an API, a database, a file exchange or a webhook — and handle authentication, rate limits and retries.

Mapping

Fields rarely line up one to one. We map and transform the data so both systems receive it in the shape they expect.

Workflow

We define what triggers an exchange, in which direction data flows and which system takes precedence when the two disagree.

Monitoring

Every exchange is logged. Failures are flagged and can be replayed, so nothing disappears without anyone noticing.

What can actually be exchanged?

That depends on what Microsoft Dynmics GP and Tableau make available through their APIs, on the licences and modules in use, and on the version each system runs. Which records are synchronised, in which direction and how often, is something we determine together before any work starts.

We are happy to look at your specific situation and tell you what is feasible — including when the answer is that it is not.
