Why teams connect Anaplan and Azure SQL Database

Work with Anaplan's financial data straight from Azure SQL Database: read it with ordinary queries, write to it from your own code, and let Stacksync keep both sides consistent.

Engineers need finance data more often than finance systems make it easy to get: for internal tools, reporting services, or logic that reacts to invoices and payments. Working through the vendor API means rate limits, pagination, and glue code that has to be maintained forever.

Stacksync mirrors List Items, Versions, Import and Export Actions, Processes from Anaplan into Schemas, Rows and columns, Stored procedures, Change tracking / CDC tables in Azure SQL Database and keeps the two in sync bi-directionally and in real time. Your services read finance records with normal queries against Azure SQL Database, and rows your code writes or updates flow back into Anaplan with validation, so the finance system stays the system of record.

Common use cases

  • Push approved plan and target numbers from Anaplan back to the CRM or compensation systems.
  • Keep dimension lists (products, cost centers, territories) aligned with master data systems of record.
  • Feed an Azure SQL operational database with orders and inventory from an ERP in near real time.
  • Expose SaaS data (billing, support tickets) as tables in Azure SQL for reporting teams already on Microsoft tooling.

React to financial events

Changes in Anaplan appear in Azure SQL Database as row changes, so you can trigger downstream logic with the database tooling you already use.

Query finance data like any other data

Customers, invoices, and payments from Anaplan live in Azure SQL Database as regular tables or collections your team can join, index, and query.

Internal tools without API plumbing

Build dashboards and back-office tools directly on Azure SQL Database; Stacksync handles the API calls, rate limits, and retries against Anaplan.

What you can sync between Anaplan and Azure SQL Database

Representative objects on each side — any object or custom field can map to any target. Schemas are auto-detected; types are converted between the two systems.

Anaplan objects Azure SQL Database objects
Import and Export Actions Predefined data-movement definitions the Bulk API executes. Stored procedures Existing business logic that some teams invoke on write instead of direct table inserts.
Processes Ordered bundles of actions run as a unit during scheduled syncs. Change tracking / CDC tables System-maintained change records used to drive incremental sync.
Cell Data Individual intersections readable and writable through the transactional API. Tables The primary sync target; rows map one-to-one to records in the paired system.
Models The planning workspaces that contain all data; syncs target a specific model. Views Read-only projections used when the sync should expose a curated shape rather than raw tables.
Modules Multidimensional grids of line items where plan data lives; the main read/write surface. Schemas Namespaces that organize tables and control which objects a sync user can reach.
Line Items The measures within a module, mapped to columns or metrics in syncs. Rows and columns Standard relational records with typed columns; primary keys anchor upserts.

How the Anaplan and Azure SQL Database connectors work

Anaplan

Integration surface
REST APIs: a Bulk API that runs predefined import/export actions and a transactional API for model metadata and cell data
Authentication
Token-based sessions obtained via basic authentication, CA certificates, or OAuth 2.0 through Anaplan's authentication service
Change detection
Polling and scheduled export actions; the platform does not expose change events
Capabilities
read · write
Rate limits
Subject to the platform's API rate limits; large data movements are designed to run through bulk actions

Azure SQL Database

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (TDS), the same protocol as SQL Server; T-SQL over standard drivers
Authentication
SQL authentication (database credentials) or Microsoft Entra ID authentication
Change detection
Change data capture or change tracking, both supported on Azure SQL Database; polling as a fallback
Capabilities
read · write · CDC
