The solution implemented by CData provided a unified virtual data layer integrated with Databricks and Microsoft Fabric. This enabled governed, self-service access to distributed data, accelerating insights. Key outcomes included reducing time-to-response from weeks to minutes and automating critical reporting workflows. CData Software helped modernize operational reporting and empowered real-time decision support across the organization.
