“Can the universal data-connectivity layer become the governed access plane between every enterprise AI agent and every enterprise system of record?”
CData began as a data connectivity vendor selling ODBC/JDBC/ADO.NET drivers to 350+ SaaS, database, and API sources. It has since expanded into embedded connectivity (CData Embed, white-labeled inside ISV products), data integration/replication (CData Sync), and most recently CData Connect AI — a governed access layer purpose-built for AI agents and MCP. The company's strategic positioning is now 'the data layer between AI and ROI', powering AI workloads for Anthropic, Databricks, Microsoft, Google, and Palantir.
