Why teams connect Anaplan and Azure Synapse Analytics

Land the financial records from Anaplan in Azure Synapse Analytics continuously, and write results back, without building or maintaining a pipeline.

Finance data belongs in the warehouse: revenue, invoices, payments, and customers joined with everything else the business measures. Getting it there usually means an extraction pipeline that breaks quietly and delivers yesterday's numbers.

Stacksync syncs Processes, Cell Data, Models, Modules from Anaplan into tables in Azure Synapse Analytics in real time, and the connection works in both directions: values computed in Azure Synapse Analytics can be written back to fields in Anaplan where you want them operational. Schema changes are handled, API limits are managed, and the sync is something you configure rather than code you maintain.

Common use cases

  • Keep dimension lists (products, cost centers, territories) aligned with master data systems of record.
  • Export forecast versions to a warehouse for variance reporting against actuals.
  • Sync curated Synapse views into an operational Postgres or Azure SQL database that applications can query cheaply.
  • Consolidate SaaS data alongside lake data so analysts join both through one SQL surface.

Queryable history for audit and reconciliation

A continuously synced copy in Azure Synapse Analytics gives you a durable, queryable record of financial data for month-end and audit questions.

Finance analytics without ETL

Invoices, payments, and customer records from Anaplan arrive in Azure Synapse Analytics as queryable tables, current within seconds instead of a day behind.

Revenue joined with everything else

Analysts combine Anaplan's financial records with product, marketing, or operational data already in Azure Synapse Analytics for reporting the finance system cannot do alone.

What you can sync between Anaplan and Azure Synapse Analytics

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 Synapse Analytics objects
Models The planning workspaces that contain all data; syncs target a specific model. Materialized views Precomputed aggregates that speed reads of frequently synced result sets.
Modules Multidimensional grids of line items where plan data lives; the main read/write surface. SQL pools Dedicated or serverless compute contexts that determine how and where queries run.
Line Items The measures within a module, mapped to columns or metrics in syncs. Tables (dedicated SQL pool) Distributed warehouse tables that serve as sync destinations for analytics workloads.
Lists Dimension members (accounts, products, cost centers) synced from master data systems. External tables Tables over files in the data lake, queried through serverless SQL and often read-only in syncs.
List Items Individual dimension members created or updated from external systems of record. Views Curated projections used when downstream tools should not read base tables directly.
Versions Scenario dimensions (actual, budget, forecast) that scope which slice a sync reads or writes. Schemas Namespaces that separate staging, integration, and presentation layers.

How the Anaplan and Azure Synapse Analytics 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

Rate limits
Subject to the platform's API rate limits; large data movements are designed to run through bulk actions

Azure Synapse Analytics

Integration surface
SQL wire protocol (TDS) with T-SQL for SQL pools; additional Spark and pipeline surfaces exist but syncs use the SQL endpoint
Authentication
SQL authentication or Microsoft Entra ID
Change detection
Polling on watermark columns; Synapse SQL pools do not expose log-based CDC for downstream consumers
