The first real-time AI connectivity layer for governed enterprise data access

Connect AI to individual data sources or your existing architecture (SaaS, databases, data lake/warehouse) and scale from conversational analytics to agentic actions as your confidence grows. CData delivers a single, governed path from individual experiments to team productivity and enterprise agents.

Universal live connectivity for LLMs to 270+ sources (SaaS, DBs, APIs) through a standardized data model.
Connect enterprise data to LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, GPT-4o, Ollama), AI copilots and assistants, agentic AI systems, and developer frameworks like LangChain, CrewAI, and the OpenAI Agent SDK—all governed through the same secure CData platform.
Real-time answers to natural language queries—no data pipelines, ETL, or custom code required.
Full context to action support, with read/write operations, bulk actions, and transaction-aware access for agents.

Enterprise-grade governance & security

CData's AI Connectivity Platform was built with enterprise IT realities in mind: security, compliance, and control are non-negotiable. Every AI query or action is governed by the same policies, roles, and permissions that apply to your human users.

Passthrough Authentication & Role-Aware Access: CData enforces the source system's own security model, so LLMs and agents inherit the same user roles and permissions without the need for additional security configuration.
No Data Copies, End-to-End Security: Queries run in place with no replication or loss of semantics, protected by TLS 1.3 encryption, OAuth 2.1/PKCE, SSO, and short-lived tokens.
Compliance & Observability: Certified for SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001, designed for GDPR, and fully auditable with complete interaction logs and monitoring.
Governed Write-Back: When AI agents take action, transactions honor system rules, role-based controls, and are fully reversible and traceable.

With CData, enterprises can confidently scale from AI experiments to conversational analytics and agentic AI automation, knowing that the right guardrails, governance, and oversight are in place at every step.

Solutions for every stage of your AI journey

Stage 1: Talk to your data (individuals & pilots)

Connect one system (e.g., Salesforce, Jira, NetSuite) to an LLM. Get instant, live answers with read-only access. MCP Servers or Connect Cloud MCP make it trivial.

Great for: Fast Q&A, ad hoc reporting, support assistants.

Stage 2: Reason across systems (teams & departments)

Unify definitions and context with the Semantic Layer; let AI reason across CRM + ERP + Support. Deliver consistent, governed answers and shared prompt libraries.

Great for: RevOps insights, customer 360, cross-functional analytics.

Stage 3: Let AI act (enterprise & agents)

Deploy governed, multi-system AI agents that can read and write back (e.g., open a case in ServiceNow, post an order to SAP) with full auditability and policy control.

Great for: Invoice reconciliation, customer outreach automation, supply chain actions.

“CData can connect to anything, really. I'm not limited to using it in just one reporting tool, or connecting to one system. I know we have versatility if we experience change, which is really important to me because we're not tied to some proprietary system of using that data in certain ways.”

— Nathan Thompson, VP of Financial Planning and Analysis, Scorpion

Real-time AI connectivity you can't replicate

CData is unique in supporting both replication-based context delivery for AI (via RAG, for example) as well as context injection via true live connectivity. This enables your organization to use replication where appropriate, without being limited to pipelines and snapshots.
