UiPath Accelerates Automation Insights with Embedded Data Connectivity

The challenge: Scaling data access across hundreds of customer environments

UiPath’s Process Mining platform helps organizations visualize how their business processes actually run, using event logs from systems like SAP, Salesforce, and ServiceNow. With these insights, customers can identify bottlenecks, rework, and inefficiencies and improve operations through automation or reengineering.

 Originally, UiPath built its own connectors in-house. But as the product grew, the company faced mounting challenges: expanding coverage to hundreds of source systems, maintaining consistent performance, and giving customers more control over their data extractions.

Jack Miller, Senior Product Manager, recognized they needed a partner—one that could meet rigorous technical requirements and act as a true extension of their own team.

“CData provided immediate expertise, both during the sales cycle and in post-sales implementation, helping us debug customer issues and understand what might be happening within their system.”

The solution: Embedded connectivity for scalable, real-time extraction

UiPath embedded CData’s JDBC connectors and Sync platform to handle the complex, high-volume data extraction required for process mining. Customers can now connect to systems like SAP, Salesforce, and Oracle using prebuilt connectors that push structured data into cloud storage locations, where UiPath Process Mining takes over.

CData enables real-time data ingestion, tabular standardization, and full control over table selection, filters, and scheduling. The solution is performant—capable of processing over 10 million rows—yet flexible enough to support the diverse needs of process mining’s developer and data engineering personas.

“With the 250-source library of connections, this really took the library of connectors burden off us. With 10-plus million rows of performance, this allowed us to really validate that CData can perform at the levels our customers would expect.”

The outcome: A better experience for customers, and a sharper focus for UiPath

Approximately 75% of UiPath Process Mining customers now license and use CData to bring external data into the platform. One large financial services company, previously managing manual file uploads, reduced overhead and friction after switching to CData—streamlining their implementation and accelerating time to insight.

Internally, CData’s role has enabled UiPath’s product teams to shift focus toward what matters most: delivering differentiated features like AI-powered anomaly detection and intelligent filters that surface the highest-impact insights.

“CData really takes care of our connectivity so that we can focus on our own ambitious roadmap to deliver more value to our core customer base. It allows us to focus on more of those highly innovative AI features.”
