Sugar CRM Drivers & Connectors
for Data Integration

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

Working with a Sugar CRM Driver is different than connecting with Sugar CRM through other means. Sugar CRM 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 Sugar CRM integration code moving forward.

By comparison, our Sugar CRM Drivers offer codeless access to live Sugar CRM data for both technical and non-technical users alike. Any user can install our drivers and begin working with live Sugar CRM 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 Sugar CRM data. We manage all of the complexities of Sugar CRM 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 Sugar CRM via CData Connect Cloud. With Connect Cloud you can configure all of your data connectivity in one place and connect to Sugar CRM from any of the available Cloud Drivers and Client Applications. Connectivity to Sugar CRM is managed in the cloud, and you never have to worry about installing new drivers when Sugar CRM 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 Sugar CRM, 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 Sugar CRM driver offers full-featured Sugar CRM data connectivity. The CData Sugar CRM drivers support extensive Sugar CRM integration, providing access to all of the Sugar CRM 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 Sugar CRM 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 Sugar CRM driver contains a full SQL-92 compliant engine that translates standard SQL queries into Sugar CRM API calls dynamically. Queries are parsed and optimized for each data source, pushing down as much of the request to Sugar CRM as possible. Any logic that can not be pushed to Sugar CRM is handled transparently client-side by the driver/connector engine. Ultimately, this means that Sugar CRM looks and acts exactly like a database to any client application or tool. Users can integrate live Sugar CRM connectivity with ANY software solution that can talk to a standard database.

Using the CData Sugar CRM drivers and connectors, Sugar CRM 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 Sugar CRM data connectivity.

Additionally, since Sugar CRM supported by CData Connect Cloud, we enable all kinds of new Sugar CRM cloud integrations.

Sugar CRM Analytics and Sugar CRM 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 Sugar CRM 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.

Sugar CRM 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 Sugar CRM data any database or data warehouse, and maintain parity between systems with automated incremental Sugar CRM replication. In addition, our Sugar CRM 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 Sugar CRM with Excel is by using the CData Connect Cloud Excel Add-In. The Sugar CRM Excel Add-In provides easy Sugar CRM integration directly from Microsoft Excel Desktop, Mac, or Web (Excel 365). Simply configure your connection to Sugar CRM from the easy-to-use cloud interface, and access Sugar CRM just like you would another native Excel data source.
