A New Day for CData

CData announced a rebrand and major enhancements to its Connect AI platform, positioning itself as a governed data layer designed to help enterprises move AI agents from pilots into production. The company argues that inadequate data infrastructure is a primary barrier to AI adoption, citing its report that only 6% of organizations consider themselves fully prepared and that 71% of AI teams spend more than a quarter of implementation time on data integration. Connect AI now offers live read-write connectivity to more than 350 business systems, including on-premises sources through Connect Gateway, alongside layered universal, source-specific, and custom tools intended to provide relevant context without excessive access. The platform also adds identity and governance features such as per-user authentication, native permissions, audit trails, SCIM 2.0, and custom OAuth applications. CData says testing across 378 enterprise queries found its platform achieved 98.5% accuracy, attributing the result to a relational abstraction layer and source-level semantic intelligence rather than direct natural-language-to-API translation, and it will present its approach at the Gartner Data & Analytics Summit.
