Make SAP HANA Data Tableau-Ready Instantly

The SAP HANA Connector simplifies this by exposing rich metadata for automated data discovery, with intelligent row scanning, type detection, and relationship mapping. It also supports unstructured data, letting you explore your SAP HANA data natively within Tableau's familiar interface—no prep work required.

Mitigate security & compliance risks vs. other integrations
CData's live Tableau connectivity for SAP HANA overcomes the challenges associated with traditional integration methods like ETL and local data replication. Unlike data replication, live querying enhances security and compliance by eliminating risks such as data staleness, inconsistency, and corruption. It also reduces exposure from overprivileged access and delayed revocation while minimizing the attack surface created by duplicate copies. Additionally, live connectivity simplifies regulatory compliance by ensuring better adherence to data residency, retention policies, and auditability requirements.
