DSharp Engine on the Microsoft Azure Marketplace

The DSharp Engine can now be found on all Microsoft’s marketplaces: Azure Marketplace and AppSource.

– The cooperation with Microsoft has progressed to the point where we can take our software to the world together with them. As a cooperation partner, Microsoft brings the necessary credibility in the international market, Konsta Weber, business development lead, describes the importance of the step.

The listing process involved several meetings with different Microsoft representants. Microsoft has a well-designed path for entering the marketplace so once the first more tricky steps had been taken the process continued smoothly.

Microsoft AppSource is a place to find business solutions. Microsoft Azure Marketplace is designed to be used by developers. As the DSharp Engine serves both business users and developers it is suited to be present in both Marketplaces.

DSharp has worked with Microsoft for a long time. The databases we support in Azure are Azure SQL Database and Microsoft Synapse Analytics. We also support SQL Server Databases for on-premise implementations. Taking DSharp Engine to the marketplaces was a logical next step.

In the future we aim to deepen our collaboration with Microsoft in co-selling and offering a wider range of products in Azure.

Beginning to sell our solution through Microsoft on its Marketplaces brings us new opportunities to expand our international sales.

Järvenpää

The city of Järvenpää is now able to produce reports quickly and cost-effectively from different information systems. The information has been harnessed even better for decision-making and it is also planned to be shared openly with the municipal citizens. DSharp worked together with Netum on the data platform project for Järvenpää.

Business modeling in focus

Data warehouse automation played a key role in the development of Järvenpää city’s knowledge-based management. At the heart of data warehouse automation was the concept modeling done by DSharp. When the data warehouse is built model based, no one has to code it. According to, Tero-Matti Kinanen, CEO of DSharp, the city of Järvenpää has understood very well what agile development means.

– The city of Järvenpää has put ready-made reports into use and in this way has been able to immediately enjoy the results of the work. Significant benefits from data warehouse automation have been obtained at a fast pace, says Tero-Matti Kinanen

Business benefits have always been the red thread of the work.

– Business modeling has played an absolutely central role in the fact that the city of Järvenpää has risen to the forefront of the municipal sector in knowledge management, says Kinanen.

DSharp engine 3.2

The new version 3.2 of the D♯ Engine brings direct database connectivity. You can now connect to source and target servers using native drivers when connecting to Microsoft SQL Server variants and ODBC otherwise.

Use the new Servers tree view to browse the contents of the registered database servers.

You can also import the table structures into new mapping files from here, which makes mapping easier than before.

The Source-data-to-Model-element mapping process is now inside the D♯ Engine. You can use the familiar spreadsheet layout to edit and create the mappings inside the D♯ Engine. In the new version it is also possible to create mappings by dragging and dropping from the Server and Conceptual model hierarchies, either row by row or in larger batches which greatly simplifies the mapping process.

The Data Grid is updated. It now has the same syntax-aware SQL editor as the SQL pane. The user can click anywhere on any class or data object, real or virtual, to browse its data. For classes and generated tables and views, it queries the data from the SQL Target server, which can be set in the Properties of the database server. For real server objects it shows the content of the actual clicked table or view.

Version 3.2 was released on the 30th of September. Data Platform Developers with access to the community pages can read the full release notes here. We will continue to publish 1 release per quarter. Revisions may be published more frequently. Stay tuned for our year end version v.3.3; we have some amazing stuff in the pipeline.
