CData Software Releases More Than 200 New Connectors for Tableau

Chapel Hill, NC, Sep. 23th, 2020 - CData Software (www.cdata.com), a leading provider of standards-based drivers and data-access solutions for real-time data integration, today released more than 200 new data connectors for Tableau. The new CData Connectors extend the capabilities of Tableau by providing direct real-time data access to non-native SaaS, Cloud, NoSQL and Big Data applications and data sources.

Familiar to millions of data scientists and citizen analysts alike, Tableau can now serve as a central platform for real-time analysis across a more complete ecosystem of applications and cloud services. The new Tableau Connectors are a boon to anyone using Tableau to:

• Easily bring data into Tableau from non-natively supported sources with just a few clicks
• Gain a 360 degree view of their enterprises through cross-organization data analysis
• Build live, interactive reports from SaaS application data
• Visualize and present disparate data with unified views
• And much more

As organizations grapple with managing a growing ecosystem spanning hundreds of SaaS applications, data management systems, and specialized analytics platforms, they are generating petabytes of enterprise data, increasingly siloed across disparate systems. This presents a serious hurdle for analysts who need real-time data access to deliver business insights," said Eric Madariaga, Chief Marketing Officer, CData Software. "Our new Tableau Connectors solve these challenges by providing direct, real-time data connectivity from right inside Tableau to the hundreds of popular SaaS business apps and data warehousing platforms where that data resides."

To start running comprehensive, cross-enterprise data analysis on data stored across disparate systems, analysts can simply install the connectors with the click of a button, authenticate access to their data sources (e.g. enter username and password), and immediately start working with data right in Tableau like any natively supported data source.

The CData Tableau Connectors are built on the same high-performance SQL engine that powers the CData JDBC Drivers, actively used by thousands of enterprises for mission-critical applications. The Tableau connectors add support for Direct Query that is not otherwise available when technologies like JDBC are used in Tableau. Like all CData Drivers, the Tableau Connectors transform SQL queries generated from the desired endpoint, in this case Tableau, into API calls that fetch live data from popular on-premise and cloud sales, marketing, project management, and logistics applications.

The new CData Connectors offer direct real-time connectivity to a vast array of enterprise data sources, including popular data sources, such as:

• NoSQL, Big Data, RDBMS: Redshift, HBase, Hive, Cassandra, Couchbase, Elasticsearch, Google BigQuery, IBM Cloudant, Redis
• CRM & Marketing: Netsuite, Salesforce, Marketo, Eloqua, Hubspot, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Zoho, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter
• Accounting: Intacct, QuickBooks (On-Prem & Online), Sage, FreshBooks, Xero
• ERP & Collaboration: Exact, Google Apps, Jira, Magento, Microsoft Project, Microsoft SharePoint, ServiceNow, SmartSheet
• File & Services: Box, Dropbox, S3, Google Sheets, JSON, Excel Online
• And more
