Don't just ask your data, act on it

Let your AI agent read and write across your financial and operational systems so month-end close, journal entries, and cross-system updates are done in half the time.

Why us

The only layer that lets an AI agent not just read but safely write back across your finance and operational systems.


Your recurring work still runs by hand across systems

Most AI can read the month-close, journal entries, requisitions, and reconciliations but can't do them. CData gives the agent governed read and write, so the work gets finished.

  • The agent inserts the journal entry, raises the requisition, updates the record
  • Close, consolidation, and reporting run on live data, every period
  • Writes scoped to approved actions, run under each user's permissions, human-in-the-loop, and fully audited
  • On-prem systems reached through the Connect Gateway—no open inbound ports

An agent that does the work with the right oversight and observability

Finance and ops hand the recurring process to the agent; IT approves exactly which actions it can take, and every write is audited.

For finance and operations teams

Hand the busywork to the agent


Read and write—the agent acts, not just answers

Read-only AI can describe the problem but not fix it. Connect AI exposes your systems with full read-and-write, so the agent inserts the journal entry, raises the requisition, and updates the record.

Automate the close and the reporting

The agent runs multi-entity close steps, consolidation, journal-entry creation, and reporting across QuickBooks, Sage Intacct, NetSuite, and Xero—on live data, every period.

Automate operational processes across systems

The work spans systems—a value read here, a record written there. The agent moves the output of one system into another, like writing a project ID from Workday into Salesforce, in one governed flow.

For IT and system owners

Write-back that never becomes a back door


IT controls exactly what the agent can do

Source and Custom Tools scope the agent to approved, system-specific actions with transactional safety — so automation into a system of record stays deliberate, never a back door.

Every write, under the user's own permissions

Passthrough identity and RBAC/ABAC run each write under the user's own permissions, workspaces and toolkits scope which tools each agent gets, and every write lands in a full audit trail.

Efficient per workflow

Multi-step workflows can burn tokens fast. Source-level semantic intelligence and purpose-built tools cut tool calls about 35% and keep each step lean — so automating at volume stays affordable.

What teams get from it

The busywork gets done right. Any AI action can be reviewed, approved, and audited so humans stay-in-the-loop and in control.

The close, automated

Multi-entity month-end close, consolidation, and journal-entry creation handled by the assistant on live data instead of a controller stitching entities together by hand.

0 swivel-chairs

The agent writes the output of one system into another—a project ID from Workday into Salesforce, a requisition into the ERP—in one flow.

Live, even on-prem

Stock optimization and shop-floor analysis on current data, reaching on-prem systems through the Connect Gateway.

Deploy Connect Gateway on-prem

Every write, governed

Writes are scoped to approved actions, run under each user's permissions, and fully audited so finance and IT can say yes to letting AI act.

How it works: connectivity, context, control

Connect AI gives the agent governed read-and-write with per-action control. No read-only connectivity, rigid iPaaS workflow, or MCP gateway offers the same combination.

Connectivity

Read and write, live

Query and write across the stack

Live connectivity with a read-and-write relational interface—query, insert, update, and delete across QuickBooks, Sage Intacct, NetSuite, Xero, Dynamics, Acumatica, Salesforce, and Workday, with on-prem systems reached through the Connect Gateway.

Context

Tools built for acting, not just asking

Universal Tools give the agent a compact read-and-write toolset across every system; Custom Tools expose specific write actions with pre-optimized queries and explicit limits; semantic intelligence and derived views keep each step lean.

How teams put their busywork on the agent

Generate financial reports and get real-time budget updates just by asking

Delivering new or updated reports to leadership is a constant demand for Finance teams—and a time-consuming one. Enable AI to query across all the systems your data lives in and turn that effort into a question.

“For the first time, we can break up ARR by dimensions that were never easy to get to—and actually read the qualitative data sitting in Salesforce alongside it. That wasn't possible before Connect AI.”
