The Babel Fish: A Universal Translator for Dynamics 365 Banking

"The Babel Fish is small, yellow and leech-like, and probably the oddest thing in the Universe. It feeds on brainwave energy... and the practical upshot is that if you stick one in your ear you can instantly understand anything said to you in any form of language." — Douglas Adams

In the world of Fintech, the oddest thing is that in 2025, your Bank and your ERP still speak entirely different languages.

The Bank speaks in flat files. Ancient, positional formats like ABA (120 characters wide) or BAI2 (comma-delimited trees). They are rigid, fragile, and unforgiving.

Dynamics 365 speaks OData. Structured, relational, and strongly typed.

When you try to connect them directly, the result is usually a custom X++ script that relies on hardcoded column indexes. It is brittle. It is expensive. It is, frankly, about as pleasant as listening to Vogon poetry.

We realized you don't need another connector. You need a Universal Translator.

The Problem: Hard-Coding Reality

Most integration projects fail because they try to map the Physics of the file (Column 3) directly to the Logic of the ERP (Vendor Account).

If the bank changes the file format, your integration breaks. If you switch from CBA to NAB, your integration breaks.

You are mapping syntax, not semantics.

The Solution: The Business Object

Demiton introduces an abstraction layer we call Business Objects. Think of this as the Babel Fish.

It sits in the middle. It holds the "Real World" identity of your data (e.g., an Account Number) and maps it deterministically to the external schemas.

1. Visualizing the Chaos

First, we built the Parser Lab. You can paste raw ABA or BAI2 data directly into the browser. We parse the topology instantly—validating checksums, summing ledgers, and visualizing hierarchies.

You stop seeing text strings. You start seeing transactions.

2. The Semantic Link

This is the breakthrough. Instead of writing a script to say "Take characters 10-20 and put them in the Bank ID field," you create a Business Object.

1. Define: You define "Operating Account" once in Demiton.
2. Bind: You link it to the Dynamics 365 BankAccounts entity via OData.
3. Translate: You map the raw segment (e.g. Account Number 062-000) to the ABA standard and the BAI2 standard on the same object.

Now, Demiton knows that 062-000 IS the Operating Account. It doesn't matter what format the file arrives in. The Babel Fish translates it before it touches your ledger.

Join the Pioneer Program

We are looking for 20 Integration Architects to test this engine.

If you are tired of debugging bank file formats in Notepad, we want to give you this tool. In return for your feedback, you get lifetime NFR access to the platform for your own projects.

One Identity. Multiple Dialects. Total Interoperability.

Don't Panic.
