CData Software

CData Software's journey began with a clear vision from its technologists founders: to simplify how users and applications connect with the ever-increasing and decentralized world of data. What started as a focused effort to provide robust data access and connectivity solutions has evolved into a leading global enterprise. Initially a spin-off of /n software, a company with a two-decade track record in internet communications and security tools, CData inherited a strong foundation and an impressive client roster that included major corporations like Microsoft, Sony, and Intel. This heritage provided a springboard for CData to address the growing complexities of data integration head-on.

The company's mission to break down data silos and streamline data access has resonated deeply in a market where real-time connectivity is paramount. CData's standards-based connectors became the cornerstone of their offerings, designed to insulate customers from the intricacies of integrating with a multitude of on-premise or cloud databases, SaaS platforms, APIs, NoSQL, and Big Data sources. This commitment to simplifying data connectivity has fueled significant growth, with the company expanding its reach and impact across various industries. The increasing reliance on cloud computing and the proliferation of AI and machine learning, which heavily depend on accessible data, further propelled CData's expansion. Today, CData serves over 10,000 customers, including prominent names like Salesforce, Office Depot, and Holiday Inn, and is trusted by hundreds of major data management providers and ISVs such as Google and Informatica who embed CData's technologies into their own platforms. Headquartered in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, CData has grown to employ over 500 people across international offices, a testament to its sustained innovation and customer-centric approach in the dynamic field of data integration.
