CData Connect Cloud is a strategic initiative that promotes data culture by providing tools, training, and access to data, enabling organizations to prioritize data-driven decision-making and empower employees to use data to track goals and KPIs. The product roadmap includes features such as improved user experience, data sharing, and client tool integration, which are closely related to emerging technologies like Data Fabric 2.0. CData has recently released several notable updates, including API Connector, Datasets, AI Text-to-SQL, Excel write-back capabilities, and certifications with IBM Cognos and Microsoft Power BI. The roadmap for the coming months includes large features such as caching, Open API support, and a new version of CData Connect Server that will make it easier for customers to run Connect Server on their own infrastructure.
