Connect Anaplan and
Azure Synapse with AI

Redbird AI syncs planning data between Anaplan and Azure Synapse automatically. Finance and analytics teams can stop manually exporting forecasts, consolidating actuals, and rebuilding plan vs. actual reports across disconnected systems.

What you can automate today

Redbird gives your team ready-to-run workflows — just connect your accounts and go.

Sync ERP actuals from Azure Synapse into Anaplan planning models automatically

Pull consolidated actuals from your Azure Synapse data warehouse and push them into the right Anaplan modules and line items. Keep financial models up to date with real performance data without manual CSV uploads or connector maintenance.

Export approved budget versions from Anaplan to Azure Synapse for enterprise reporting

When budgets are locked in Anaplan, automatically load final plan data into Azure Synapse tables. Make approved forecasts and targets available to Power BI dashboards and company-wide analytics without exporting files or waiting on data teams.

Build plan vs. actual variance reports in Azure Synapse from live Anaplan data

Combine planning versions from Anaplan with transactional data in Azure Synapse to generate automated variance analysis. Surface budget deviations and forecast accuracy metrics in your central analytics platform without rebuilding logic in multiple places.

Enrich Anaplan scenario models with historical trends from Azure Synapse datasets

Pull multi-year performance trends and statistical forecasts from Azure Synapse into Anaplan scenario planning modules. Give planners richer context for modeling without switching tools or requesting data extracts from analytics teams.

Alert FP&A when Anaplan plan data deviates from Azure Synapse rolling forecasts

Monitor differences between submitted plans in Anaplan and statistical forecasts running in Azure Synapse. Trigger notifications when variances exceed thresholds so finance teams can reconcile assumptions before budgets are locked.

Automate monthly close by syncing finalized actuals into Anaplan dimension structures

Map Azure Synapse fact tables to Anaplan's hierarchical dimensions and load month-end actuals automatically. Eliminate manual reconciliation between your data warehouse schema and planning model structure each reporting cycle.

Live in four steps

No engineers, no pipelines to maintain. Redbird handles the connectivity — you focus on the outcome.

01

Connect your accounts

Authorize Anaplan and Azure Synapse with OAuth or API credentials. Redbird never stores your data — it just passes through.

02

Describe what you want

Tell Redbird what to do in plain language — no SQL, no code, no configuration files required.

03

Review and activate

Redbird shows you exactly what it will do before running anything. Approve the workflow, set a schedule, and switch it on.

04

Let it run — and iterate

Workflows run on your schedule or on triggers. Every run is logged. Adjust with natural language at any time.

Built for data-driven teams

Redbird AI understands both Anaplan's hierarchical planning structures and Azure Synapse's analytical schemas, so you can automate data flows without custom code or constant mapping updates.

AI that speaks planning models and data warehouses

Redbird maps Anaplan modules, line items, versions, and dimension hierarchies to Azure Synapse tables, views, and Spark datasets automatically. The platform understands how planning structures relate to warehouse facts and dimensions, handling schema changes, version control, and incremental loads without manual intervention. When your Anaplan model evolves or Synapse pipelines update, Redbird adapts the integration logic in real time.

faster than building custom integration pipelines between Anaplan and Azure Synapse

No Python scripts, API wrappers, or scheduled data jobs to maintain

Auto-generated reports

Redbird can pull from Anaplan and Azure Synapse simultaneously, merge the results, and format a polished report — sent on a schedule or on demand.

Trigger-based alerts

Set conditions in natural language. Get notified in Slack or email the moment a threshold is crossed in either Anaplan or Azure Synapse.

Enterprise-grade security

SOC 2 Type II certified. Data flows encrypted in transit and at rest. Fine-grained permission controls with full audit logs.

Bidirectional sync

Push data from Anaplan into Azure Synapse, or from Azure Synapse back into Anaplan. Resolve conflicts with configurable merge rules.

Full audit trail

Every workflow run is logged — what ran, what changed, and why. Replay or revert any individual step at any time.

Triggers & actions for every team

Start automations from planning events in Anaplan or data pipeline completions in Azure Synapse — Redbird handles the rest.
