Extracting value from data is critical to success in today's business landscape. Yet as organizations shift to cloud, hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructures, they face increasing data proliferation and integration challenges. CData's mission is to simplify the way businesses connect, integrate and automate their data – wherever it may reside.

CData is the leading provider of standards-based real-time data connectivity – a core component of the rapidly growing data management and analytics markets. From Fortune 500s and Global 2000s to SMEs worldwide, more than 10,000 organizations rely on CData connectivity to overcome data fragmentation challenges and unlock value from diverse, dispersed data assets. In 2021, major data management providers like Google, Salesforce, SAS and OutSystems joined the likes of Tableau, Informatica and Tibco in embedding CData technologies to support their customers' rapidly expanding connectivity demands.

With this new round of funding, CData will expand its cloud capabilities, investing in further development of its cloud-native universal data platform. The company will also focus on hiring additional talent across the organization to continue broadening its global presence.
