CData Recognized as a Major Player in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Data Integration Software Platforms 2025

We’re proud to share that CData has been named a Major Player in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Data Integration Software Platforms 2025 Vendor Assessment (doc # US53001625, October 2025).  

CData’s mission has always been to simplify data access, and with the rapid rise of AI, that mission has never been more critical. Organizations today need fast, governed, and scalable ways to connect, integrate, and activate data across every system—whether in the cloud or on-premises. The CData Platform helps make that possible through flexible, modern data integration solutions that power analytics, operations, and AI initiatives.

Data integration at the center of the AI transformation

As enterprises modernize for AI, data integration plays a foundational role in making data accessible, trusted, and actionable. To achieve this, organizations are prioritizing automation, observability, and governance across increasingly complex data environments.

The CData Platform helps companies simplify and accelerate this transformation. By unifying data connectivity and integration capabilities, CData enables teams to connect to any source, manage data movement efficiently, and ensure consistent access to reliable data for analytics and AI.

With the latest launch of Connect AI, CData extends these capabilities even further—enabling organizations to connect their systems directly to AI models and agentic platforms such as Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot Studio, and n8n. This allows users to gain real-time insights from their data using natural language queries, and empowers AI agents to autonomously access, analyze, and execute actions across connected systems.

The CData Platform: Unifying data for intelligence, automation, and growth

Modern enterprises depend on data that moves freely, securely, and intelligently across systems. The CData Platform provides the foundation for that agility, helping organizations integrate, orchestrate, and activate data to power analytics, automation, and AI.

Rather than relying on disconnected tools, the platform unifies data integration capabilities, so data is always available, governed, and ready for use. This enables organizations to:

• Accelerate innovation by removing data barriers and making insights instantly accessible across teams and systems.

• Increase agility and automation with real-time data flows that adapt to changing business demands.

• Empower decision-making through AI-driven data interaction that turns natural language into immediate, contextual insights.

• Strengthen trust and compliance with transparent governance, lineage, and policy-based control.

• Scale AI and analytics initiatives with consistent, high-quality data fueling models, applications, and operations.

The CData Platform transforms data integration from a back-end process into a strategic advantage that drives performance and growth.

Our commitment

At CData, our mission is to make data access simple, secure, and seamless for human and AI. We believe being recognized in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Data Integration Software Platforms 2025 underscores our dedication to helping enterprises unify data, accelerate insights, and build trusted foundations for AI and innovation.

We’re proud to be included in this year’s assessment and look forward to continuing to advance how organizations connect to and work with their data.
