Reckon Drivers & Connectors
for Data Integration

The Reckon driver acts like a bridge that facilitates communication between various applications and Reckon, allowing the application to read data as if it were a relational database. The Reckon driver abstracts the complexities of Reckon APIs, authentication methods, and data types, making it simple for any application to connect to Reckon data in real-time via standard SQL queries.

Working with a Reckon Driver is different than connecting with Reckon through other means. Reckon API integrations require technical experience from a software developer or IT resources. Additionally, due to the constant evolution of APIs and services, once you build your integration you have to constantly maintain Reckon integration code moving forward.

By comparison, our Reckon Drivers offer codeless access to live Reckon data for both technical and non-technical users alike. Any user can install our drivers and begin working with live Reckon data from any client application. Because our drivers conform to standard data interfaces like ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET etc. they offer a consistent, maintenance-free interface to Reckon data. We manage all of the complexities of Reckon integration within each driver and deploy updated drivers as systems evolve so your applications continue to run seamlessly.

Many organizations draw attention to their library of connectors. After all, data connectivity is a core capability needed for applications to maximize their business value. However, it is essential to understand exactly what you are getting when evaluating connectivity. Some vendors are happy to offer connectors that implement basic proof-of-concept level connectivity. These connectors may highlight the possibilities of working with Reckon, but often only provide a fraction of capability. Finding real value from these connectors usually requires additional IT or development resources.

Unlike these POC-quality connectors, every CData Reckon driver offers full-featured Reckon data connectivity. The CData Reckon drivers support extensive Reckon integration, providing access to all of the Reckon data and meta-data needed by enterprise integration or analytics projects. Each driver contains a powerful embedded SQL engine that offers applications easy and high-performance access to all Reckon data. In addition, our drivers offer robust authentication and security capabilities, allowing users to connect securely across a wide range of enterprise configurations.

With our drivers and connectors, every data source is essentially SQL-based. The CData Reckon driver contains a full SQL-92 compliant engine that translates standard SQL queries into Reckon API calls dynamically. Queries are parsed and optimized for each data source, pushing down as much of the request to Reckon as possible. Any logic that can not be pushed to Reckon is handled transparently client-side by the driver/connector engine. Ultimately, this means that Reckon looks and acts exactly like a database to any client application or tool. Users can integrate live Reckon connectivity with ANY software solution that can talk to a standard database.

Using the CData Reckon drivers and connectors, Reckon can be easily integrated with almost any application. Any software or technology that can integrate with a database or connect with standards-based drivers like ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET, etc., can use our drivers for live Reckon data connectivity.

Reckon Analytics is universally supported for BI and data science. In addition, CData provides native client connectors for popular analytics applications like Power BI, Tableau, and Excel that simplify Reckon data integration. Additionally, native Python connectors are widely available for data science and data engineering projects that integrate seamlessly with popular tools like Pandas, SQLAlchemy, Dash, and Petl.

Reckon data integration is typically enabled with CData Sync, a robust any-to-any data pipeline solution that is easy to set up, runs everywhere, and offers comprehensive enterprise-class features for data engineering. CData Sync makes it easy to replicate Reckon data any database or data warehouse, and maintain parity between systems with automated incremental Reckon replication. In addition, our Reckon drivers and connectors can be easily embedded into a wide range of data integration tools to augment existing solutions.

Absolutely. CData offers native Excel Add-Ins for Reckon integration. These Add-Ins provide live access to Reckon data directly from Microsoft Excel.
