Make complex data work for every user and every AI.

dhino sits between your data and its consumers, making access simple, secure, and consistent everywhere.

Your data is trapped between those who have it and those who need it

Business teams wait weeks for reports. LLMs and agents hallucinate because they lack business context. Dashboards show different numbers for the same metric. Every new integration becomes a custom project.

The root cause: there is no shared, governed layer between your data and the things that want to use it. People, systems, and AI all need access.

Without that layer, every consumer reinvents access. Definitions drift. Security becomes an afterthought. And your data team spends its time fighting fires instead of building anything.

One layer between data and everything that needs it

dhino defines your enterprise data knowledge once and enforces it everywhere, for people, systems, and AI.

Your data

Dataverse, SQL, APIs

dhino

Integration · Context · Control

AI & apps

Copilot, Power Apps

Simplified data access

No SQL. No schema knowledge. Business users get the data they need through pre-defined templates and natural language, without waiting on IT.

Built-in governance

Fine-grained access control, compliance by default, and full audit trails. Security is the foundation, not an afterthought.

Consistent answers everywhere

Humans, systems, and AI all use the same governed layer. Same definitions, same rules, same results. No more conflicting numbers.

"There's a clear and growing need for a Dataverse connector that's powerful yet simple enough for citizen developers and Copilot alike. dhino's solution hits that sweet spot."

Common questions

What is dhino?
dhino is a data access and governance platform that sits between enterprise data and the people, systems, and AI that need it. Instead of every consumer writing queries or reinventing security rules, dhino defines business logic once and enforces it everywhere.
Who is dhino for?
Enterprise teams tired of waiting on IT for data, IT teams tired of answering the same ad-hoc requests, and organizations that want AI tools like Copilot to work reliably on their own data. dhino is built for the Microsoft ecosystem first (Dataverse, Power Platform, Azure, Copilot).
How is dhino different from text-to-SQL?
Text-to-SQL generates a query at runtime and hopes it is right. dhino runs pre-defined templates: deterministic logic, parameterized, tested. The same question returns the same answer every time, from every consumer, with governance built in.
Is dhino a BI solution?
No. BI tools like Microsoft Fabric, Power BI, or Tableau are where people explore and visualize data. dhino is a governed access layer that sits in front of your data and serves it wherever it needs to go: powering a dashboard, sending scheduled reports, feeding a marketing segmentation, triggering an integration, or answering a Copilot query. A BI tool can be one of dhino's consumers. dhino is complementary to Fabric, not a replacement.
What data sources does dhino work with?
dhino is Microsoft-first, with deep support for Dataverse, Azure SQL, and the Power Platform. Beyond Microsoft, anything with an API can be connected, so dhino can pull from external systems and expose them through the same governed templates as your Microsoft data.
How does dhino keep data secure?
Every request runs through a pre-defined template. Consumers never touch the raw database. Field-level access controls, role-based permissions, and full audit trails apply automatically to every caller, human or AI. Hosted on Microsoft Azure.
