Blackbaud FE NXT Drivers & Connectors
for Data Integration

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

Working with a Blackbaud FE NXT Driver is different than connecting with Blackbaud FE NXT through other means. Blackbaud FE NXT 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 Blackbaud FE NXT integration code moving forward.

By comparison, our Blackbaud FE NXT Drivers offer codeless access to live Blackbaud FE NXT data for both technical and non-technical users alike. Any user can install our drivers and begin working with live Blackbaud FE NXT 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 Blackbaud FE NXT data. We manage all of the complexities of Blackbaud FE NXT integration within each driver and deploy updated drivers as systems evolve so your applications continue to run seamlessly.

If you need truly zero-maintenance integration, check out connectivity to Blackbaud FE NXT via CData Connect Cloud. With Connect Cloud you can configure all of your data connectivity in one place and connect to Blackbaud FE NXT from any of the available Cloud Drivers and Client Applications. Connectivity to Blackbaud FE NXT is managed in the cloud, and you never have to worry about installing new drivers when Blackbaud FE NXT is updated.

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 Blackbaud FE NXT, 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 Blackbaud FE NXT driver offers full-featured Blackbaud FE NXT data connectivity. The CData Blackbaud FE NXT drivers support extensive Blackbaud FE NXT integration, providing access to all of the Blackbaud FE NXT 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 Blackbaud FE NXT data. In addition, our drivers offer robust authentication and security capabilities, allowing users to connect securely across a wide range of enterprise configurations. Compare drivers and connectors to read more about some of the benefits of CData's driver connectivity.

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

Using the CData Blackbaud FE NXT drivers and connectors, Blackbaud FE NXT 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 Blackbaud FE NXT data connectivity.

Additionally, since Blackbaud FE NXT supported by CData Connect Cloud, we enable all kinds of new Blackbaud FE NXT cloud integrations.

Blackbaud FE NXT Analytics and Blackbaud FE NXT Cloud BI integration 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 Blackbaud FE NXT 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.

Blackbaud FE NXT 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 Blackbaud FE NXT data any database or data warehouse, and maintain parity between systems with automated incremental Blackbaud FE NXT replication. In addition, our Blackbaud FE NXT drivers and connectors can be easily embedded into a wide range of data integration tools to augment existing solutions.

Absolutely. The best way to integrate Blackbaud FE NXT with Excel is by using the CData Connect Cloud Excel Add-In. The Blackbaud FE NXT Excel Add-In provides easy Blackbaud FE NXT integration directly from Microsoft Excel Desktop, Mac, or Web (Excel 365). Simply configure your connection to Blackbaud FE NXT from the easy-to-use cloud interface, and access Blackbaud FE NXT just like you would another native Excel data source.
