Overview

Zap Data Hub for Dynamics AX automates creation and governance of a centralized, enterprise-grade data warehouse so finance and operations teams work with live, trusted Dynamics AX data rather than manual exports. The platform delivers pre-built, finance-ready data models and connectors, in-browser analytics, and an Excel add-in for rapid deployment of reconciled reports, scheduled refreshes, and downstream analytics or AI-ready datasets.
