SharePoint Excel Services Drivers & Connectors
for Data Integration

The SharePoint Excel Services driver acts like a bridge that facilitates communication between various applications and SharePoint Excel Services, allowing the application to read data as if it were a relational database. The SharePoint Excel Services driver abstracts the complexities of SharePoint Excel Services APIs, authentication methods, and data types, making it simple for any application to connect to SharePoint Excel Services data in real-time via standard SQL queries.

Working with a SharePoint Excel Services Driver is different than connecting with SharePoint Excel Services through other means. SharePoint Excel Services API integrations require technical experience from a software developer or IT resources. Additionally, due to the constant evolution of APIs and services, once you build your integration you have to constantly maintain SharePoint Excel Services integration code moving forward.

By comparison, our SharePoint Excel Services Drivers offer codeless access to live SharePoint Excel Services data for both technical and non-technical users alike. Any user can install our drivers and begin working with live SharePoint Excel Services data from any client application. Because our drivers conform to standard data interfaces like ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET etc. they offer a consistent, maintenance-free interface to SharePoint Excel Services data. We manage all of the complexities of SharePoint Excel Services integration within each driver and deploy updated drivers as systems evolve so your applications continue to run seamlessly.

Many organizations draw attention to their library of connectors. After all, data connectivity is a core capability needed for applications to maximize their business value. However, it is essential to understand exactly what you are getting when evaluating connectivity. Some vendors are happy to offer connectors that implement basic proof-of-concept level connectivity. These connectors may highlight the possibilities of working with SharePoint Excel Services, but often only provide a fraction of capability. Finding real value from these connectors usually requires additional IT or development resources.

Unlike these POC-quality connectors, every CData SharePoint Excel Services driver offers full-featured SharePoint Excel Services data connectivity. The CData SharePoint Excel Services drivers support extensive SharePoint Excel Services integration, providing access to all of the SharePoint Excel Services data and meta-data needed by enterprise integration or analytics projects. Each driver contains a powerful embedded SQL engine that offers applications easy and high-performance access to all SharePoint Excel Services data. In addition, our drivers offer robust authentication and security capabilities, allowing users to connect securely across a wide range of enterprise configurations.

With our drivers and connectors, every data source is essentially SQL-based. The CData SharePoint Excel Services driver contains a full SQL-92 compliant engine that translates standard SQL queries into SharePoint Excel Services API calls dynamically. Queries are parsed and optimized for each data source, pushing down as much of the request to SharePoint Excel Services as possible. Any logic that can not be pushed to SharePoint Excel Services is handled transparently client-side by the driver/connector engine. Ultimately, this means that SharePoint Excel Services looks and acts exactly like a database to any client application or tool. Users can integrate live SharePoint Excel Services connectivity with ANY software solution that can talk to a standard database.

Using the CData SharePoint Excel Services drivers and connectors, SharePoint Excel Services can be easily integrated with almost any application. Any software or technology that can integrate with a database or connect with standards-based drivers like ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET, etc., can use our drivers for live SharePoint Excel Services data connectivity.

SharePoint Excel Services Analytics is universally supported for BI and data science. In addition, CData provides native client connectors for popular analytics applications like Power BI, Tableau, and Excel that simplify SharePoint Excel Services data integration. Additionally, native Python connectors are widely available for data science and data engineering projects that integrate seamlessly with popular tools like Pandas, SQLAlchemy, Dash, and Petl.

SharePoint Excel Services data integration is typically enabled with CData Sync, a robust any-to-any data pipeline solution that is easy to set up, runs everywhere, and offers comprehensive enterprise-class features for data engineering. CData Sync makes it easy to replicate SharePoint Excel Services data any database or data warehouse, and maintain parity between systems with automated incremental SharePoint Excel Services replication. In addition, our SharePoint Excel Services drivers and connectors can be easily embedded into a wide range of data integration tools to augment existing solutions.
