CData Sync

CData Software, Inc. is a data connectivity company headquartered in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, founded by Gent Hito, which says it serves more than 10,000 customers. It addresses the difficulty of reaching data scattered across hundreds of SaaS, ERP, CRM and database systems, and has a Japanese joint venture, CData Software Japan, in Sendai.

CData Sync provides continuous replication, ETL/ELT and change data capture from 250+ sources into data warehouses, lakes and databases for analytics, operations and AI. It can run on-premises, through AWS, Azure and Google Cloud marketplaces, or as the CData-hosted Sync Cloud, so data can stay in the customer's environment. A 2026 release added pipeline orchestration, real-time CDC and open table formats. Named users include GSK, NJM Insurance and Holiday Inn Club Vacations.

• Broad connectivity: Replicates from 250+ SaaS, ERP, CRM, database and file sources.
• Change data capture: Real-time CDC keeps destinations current without full reloads.
• ETL and ELT: Supports both ETL and ELT patterns for analytics, operations and AI.
• Pipeline orchestration: Schedules and coordinates multi-step pipelines across environments.
• Open table formats: Writes to lakehouse table formats for analytics and AI workloads.
• Flexible hosting: On-premises, cloud marketplaces or CData-hosted Sync Cloud.

A Vietnamese manufacturer can replicate SAP or NetSuite data to SQL Server or Snowflake for management reporting. A bank can run CData Sync on-premises to move core and CRM data into an internal data lake under data localisation rules. A retail group can consolidate Salesforce and e-commerce data for AI-driven forecasting.

Connection-based pricing has no fees for row counts, storage or usage spikes, making costs predictable as data volumes grow. On-premises and customer-cloud options help meet data residency requirements. A single tool covers 250+ sources, including ERP and CRM systems such as Salesforce and Veeva Vault. A free trial is available, and the company was recognised in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Integration Tools.

Enterprises want AI and analytics on data held in many SaaS and ERP systems, while regulations push some data to stay on-premises or in-country. Hybrid replication tools with predictable pricing fit regulated sectors in Asia, including Japan, where CData already operates a local joint venture.
