CData Launches Microsoft Fabric Integration Accelerator

CData Software, a leader in data connectivity solutions, has announced the release of its Microsoft Fabric Integration Accelerator at the Microsoft Fabric Community Conference. This solution suite is designed to simplify and speed up integration between Microsoft Fabric and over 270 external data sources.

The new accelerator empowers organizations to maximize the value of their Microsoft Fabric implementation by delivering seamless connectivity to widely used enterprise systems, including SAP, Workday, Salesforce, and more.

“Organizations implementing Microsoft Fabric face critical data integration challenges for data residing outside of the Microsoft ecosystem that can significantly delay their time-to-value,” said Manish Patel, Chief Product Officer at CData. “Our Microsoft Fabric Integration Accelerator addresses these challenges head-on, enabling customers to more quickly access and integrate disparate data within their Microsoft Fabric environment in a matter of days rather than months.”

Key Components of the Microsoft Fabric Integration Accelerator

  • OneLake/Warehouse Build Toolkit: Offers point-and-click data ingestion with Change Data Capture (CDC) into OneLake and SQL Data Warehouse. It supports over 270 data sources and integrates seamlessly with Fabric Dataflow Gen 2 for live data access.
  • Power BI Live Connectivity Toolkit: Enables direct, live connectivity from Power BI to any application, datastore, or query engine. Pre-built data models eliminate the need for manual data preparation from complex sources.
  • Azure Data Factory Extension Toolkit: Expands Azure Data Factory capabilities with a unified SQL data model for seamless API integration—no custom coding required.

“The CData OneLake Toolkit checked all the boxes for Fabric integration,” said Ben Lehrer, CEO of First Water. “CData offers the connector set, underlying source data availability, structured replication engine, and flexibility we sought in seeking a cost-effective ‘pure play’ solution that delivers maximum ROI and time-to-value for Finance teams adopting Fabric to support and streamline critical FP&A processes.”

CData’s momentum continues to rise as it expands its enterprise-grade connectivity solutions. Recently named a Leader in the 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Integration, the company is recognized as a top connectivity partner for organizations deploying Microsoft technologies.

The Microsoft Fabric Integration Accelerator introduces a volume-independent pricing model, allowing enterprises to manage data integration costs predictably, regardless of the amount of data. This feature positions the solution as an ideal fit for large organizations with significant data demands.
