CData Software

Healthcare AI initiatives spend more time in compliance review than in production.

Connect AI gives health and life sciences teams HIPAA-compliant data connectivity at the platform level, so each new integration doesn't restart that process.

CData was named to the 2026 CRN Big Data 100 for data management and integration.

CRN publishes this list for solution providers — the systems integrators, VARs, and managed service providers evaluating which data vendors are built for AI. This year's list is framed around one question: which vendors can meet AI's demand for trusted, governed, real-time data.

The CData Connectivity Platform and Connect AI earned the recognition. Live data access across enterprise sources, semantic context for AI, and built-in governance: the data layer that makes AI reliable at scale.

Developers building AI applications on enterprise data shouldn't have to change how they work to get there.

That's what our team built for with three releases today.

• Connect AI Developer Edition exposes enterprise systems as a governed, queryable data layer through SQL and MCP.

• The CData Connect AI Python SDK brings that same access to existing Python workflows.

• CData CLI connects directly from the terminal, including with coding assistants like Claude Code and Cursor.

SQL. Python. The command line. MCP. Connect AI Developer Edition is free. The Python SDK is open source. All three are available now.
