CData Software

CData Software offers connected data solutions designed to link enterprise AI platforms with live on-premises systems, databases, and SaaS applications. The platform is built to provide governance guardrails and context for enterprise AI deployments. Key capabilities include the CData Connect AI gateway, which acts as a single point of connection for various AI models, routing requests, interpreting context through a semantic graph, and handling identity and policy checks.

The software incorporates schema-aware toolkits, executing federated requests across multiple data sources such as Salesforce, NetSuite, and ServiceNow to pull only relevant rows without creating raw data dumps or making unnecessary copies. This architecture is designed to reduce token consumption and control model costs by resolving queries server-side and returning precise, grounded answers. CData features built-in support for single sign-on, user provisioning, and role-based access control or attribute-based access control, allowing organizations to maintain security policies from the prompt down to the individual data record.

The platform suits enterprise teams and data engineers seeking to build working AI agents connected to business systems while maintaining strict governance and audit logging across every interaction. Notable integrations supported through CData connectivity include Salesforce, Snowflake, Databricks, SQL Server, NetSuite, Oracle, Coupa, Zendesk, Workday, Greenhouse, and Jira.
