Certinia Drivers & Connectors for Data Integration

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

Working with a Certinia Driver is different than connecting with Certinia through other means. Certinia 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 Certinia integration code moving forward.

By comparison, our Certinia Drivers offer codeless access to live Certinia data for both technical and non-technical users alike. Any user can install our drivers and begin working with live Certinia 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 Certinia data. We manage all of the complexities of Certinia integration within each driver and deploy updated drivers as systems evolve so your applications continue to run seamlessly.

If you need truly zero-maintenance integration, check out connectivity to Certinia via CData Connect AI. With Connect AI you can configure all of your data connectivity in one place and connect to Certinia from any of the available Cloud Drivers and Client Applications. Connectivity to Certinia is managed in the cloud, and you never have to worry about installing new drivers when Certinia is updated.

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 Certinia, 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 Certinia driver offers full-featured Certinia data connectivity. The CData Certinia drivers support extensive Certinia integration, providing access to all of the Certinia 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 Certinia data. In addition, our drivers offer robust authentication and security capabilities, allowing users to connect securely across a wide range of enterprise configurations. Compare drivers and connectors to read more about some of the benefits of CData's driver connectivity.

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

Using the CData Certinia drivers and connectors, Certinia 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 Certinia data connectivity.

Additionally, since Certinia supported by CData Connect AI, we enable all kinds of new Certinia cloud integrations.

Certinia Analytics and Certinia Cloud BI integration 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 Certinia 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.

Certinia 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 Certinia data any database or data warehouse, and maintain parity between systems with automated incremental Certinia replication. In addition, our Certinia drivers and connectors can be easily embedded into a wide range of data integration tools to augment existing solutions.

Absolutely. The best way to integrate Certinia with Excel is by using the CData Connect AI Excel Add-In. The Certinia Excel Add-In provides easy Certinia integration directly from Microsoft Excel Desktop, Mac, or Web (Excel 365). Our integration offers live bi-directional access to Certinia data directly from Excel. Simply configure your connection to Certinia from the easy-to-use cloud interface, and access Certinia just like you would another native Excel data source.
