CData Software and SAP Expand Partnership to Boost Data Connectivity with SAP Business Data Cloud
CData Software Enhances Data Connectivity with SAP Business Data Cloud
CData Software, a leader in data connectivity solutions, has announced an exciting expansion of its partnership with SAP that focuses on the SAP Business Data Cloud. This fully managed Software as a Service (SaaS) solution aims to unify and govern all SAP data while facilitating seamless access to third-party data sources.
Enhancing Accessibility for Enterprises
The primary objective of this partnership is to enable organizations to connect to the data that matters most to them. CData's integrated solutions allow for straightforward, real-time access to external data sources necessary for modern enterprises. This eliminates the need for extensive data replication or time-consuming custom coding, thus streamlining operations significantly.
Self-Service Data Integration
CData's embeddable connectors provide robust enterprise-grade integration with crucial third-party platforms. Customers can access a variety of data—whether it's housed in cloud services, on-premises databases, or productivity tools—through a consistent, SQL-based interface. By embedding CData connectors within the SAP Business Data Cloud, SAP customers can now also access non-SAP data, significantly enhancing their time-to-insight across various applications, including AI and analytics workloads.
Alignment with AI Strategies
As businesses increasingly adopt AI technologies, the ability to quickly and securely integrate different data sources becomes a vital competitive advantage. According to Manish Patel, Chief Product Officer at CData, “This partnership builds on our earlier work with SAP Signavio. We have seen first-hand how critical it is for enterprises to connect to the data that lives outside their core systems.” CData is committed to enabling organizations to execute their AI strategies effectively and efficiently.
Meeting Modern Demands for Data
CData’s infrastructure assures that each integration point meets the high-speed, secure, and scalable demands essential for AI-enriched environments. The demand for this partnership comes at a time when CData's Embedded business is experiencing significant growth, with increasing interest from software providers eager to offer seamless connectivity options for a wider range of data sources.
Momentum in the Market
This development aligns with the growing focus on AI-ready data, putting pressure on software providers to ensure their customers have immediate self-service access to prioritized data resources. Recognized for its market leadership, CData was recently included in the 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Integration Tools, which underscores the substantial business outcomes that CData’s connectivity solutions can deliver.
Investment and Future Prospects
In addition to this partnership, CData has successfully secured strategic growth funding amounting to approximately $350 million, led by Warburg Pincus with participation from Accel. This funding enhances CData’s capability to simplify data connectivity for enterprises, boost product development, and evolve its market strategies significantly.
