Client Success

The increasing use of digital technologies require ISVs to support integrations with other software through connectors. Not having this support limits adoption leading to loss of market share. Conversely, having connector support can be a differentiator and a channel for growth.
The Data Connector Factory solution offers software vendors, a pre-built set of connectivity adapters, a test automation framework, and interoperability certification lab and best practices to accelerate time to market and be competitive. The solution also includes managed services with SLAs to maintain and support the connectors over time.
How a mortgage finance SaaS company went beyond transactional support to monetize data despite being in a heavily regulated industry.
Accelerate time to value with a vast repository of ready-to-use connectors, adapters and framework that deliver interoperability with hundreds of software products.
For over thirty years, we have helped ISVs expand their reach with development of connector suites, accelerators to achieve scale, and certification labs to validate interoperability.
Get connectors tailored to your needs through our engineering and implementation partnerships with leading technology companies.
