Hello,
What is the best approach and technology to develop an MDM app which synchronizes data between Business Central and other applications.
How much time and effort needs to be accounted for the same.
Are there any apps available on appsource which synchronizes data between Business Central and other apps. Are these subscription based apps or one time purchase.
Thank you.
Anjana
Latest BC version has a Master Data Management included.

But the sending of Data is supported only between other Business Central systems.
Microsoft also uses Dataverse in Azure - that is used to sync master data between applications.
So check these both, and maybe it can be used.
Hi, as Rahul mentioned, this one is hard to judge. Because we don't know the number of functions and tables you need to synchronize.
And you are not in the same system, you need to interface with external systems, which also needs to be discussed with another partner.
If you're looking for existing solutions, take a look at AppSource.
Hope this helps as well
Thanks.

Hi Anjana - I understand you are at a discovery stage, isn't the whole purpose of discovery stage understanding requirements in brief? A discovery with little information will only land you in trouble now that you are talking about 3 applications to talk with each other. How is BC going to interact with the tailor made application? How is this tri-combination going to exchange data? There are so many open ends, I don't think so anyone would be able to estimate it let alone derive cost estimates
You can use Azure Functions, Azure Logic Apps & Power Automate to push/pull data from one system to another. If you do not want to spend extra on licenses you can simply use AL to code everything in BC at once. There are endless possibilities on how data can flow from one system to another. This can take from 1 month to 5, depending upon all the open-ended questions' answers you get
I would strongly suggest contacting a local MS Partner and get their expertise in sorting this out together. You don't need all the information, you just need enough information to put your estimates together
Probably the community will respond better if you have specific questions. It is hard to get a "quote" in a public forum. Do circle back in case you have specific concerns
Also a Salesforce connector is available with BC help.salesforce.com/.../articleView
Thank you for your reply.
Actually, this is only at opportunity stage , hence asking it here. We too have little information.
Customer needs to sync data between Business Central, Salesforce and one tailor made application.
Any idea on cost estimates will help, and the technology that can be used to build this kind of app. Or if this is available on Appsource.
Thanks again.

When you say other applications, what applications specifically do you mean? How is the data flow going to be in between these 2 applications? How frequent is the data going to travel from one application to another? How do you uniquely identify a row of data in your "other applications"?.. there are several other questions like these
The project at hand needs proper consultation from an experienced BC/NAV consultant. Probably this is not a forum question after all
It is difficult to give you a time/effort calculation by just reading 3 lines of your requirement. Do reach out to local MS Partners to help you out with this. This can be a serious integration needing a proper BC/NAV solutioning considering a lot of variables
