Why Standards-Based Drivers Offer Better API Integration

As enterprises grow, so too does the number and variety of data sources they use to drive business. The average company is using at least sixteen SaaS applications and has data in at least that many on-premises data stores and internal apps.

With such disparate data, each tied to a unique API, integrating, managing, and maintaining integrations for all of a company’s data creates a whole new set of challenges. Thankfully, solutions exist that enable enterprises to rely on data to drive business without causing undue strain. In this session, we’ll explore and compare the different options for solving the data integration problem and explain why you should be using standards-based drivers to abstract your API integrations.

SQL for Web APIs - Simplifying Data Access for API Consumers

As the data world evolves, businesses are moving more of their data out of databases and into SaaS applications. Despite the migration, SQL remains a ubiquitous language for data access, so much so that many SaaS applications and non-relational cloud data stores support SQL endpoints in their APIs. While these endpoints allow users to leverage SQL queries to easily request data, there are still costly challenges to overcome when it comes to processing and managing the returned data.

In this session, we’ll showcase popular APIs that offer SQL endpoints, explore the benefits of providing customers SQL access, and cover how standards-based drivers enable SaaS integration and self-service data access through SQL.
