Extensive Slate of New Product Enhancements Unveiled
Fivetran, the global leader in modern data integration, announced it has been named Data Ingestion Partner of the Year by Databricks, the Data and AI company and pioneer of the data lakehouse paradigm. Announced at Data + AI Summit 2022, the award comes as Fivetran extends its partnership with Databricks through expanded product availability and enhancements, making it faster, easier and more secure to unify a high volume of data on a single lakehouse.
“The digital transformation of businesses is only possible when data professionals are able to reliably access the freshest data in real-time, from a single source. Fivetran data pipelines make this possible, ensuring there are never interruptions,” said Adam Conway, SVP of Products at Databricks. “This award recognizes the tremendous value Fivetran provides to our shared customers, as well as our successful partnership in driving adoption of the data lakehouse.”
“We are extremely honored to be recognized as Data Ingestion Partner of the Year. Databricks is on the cutting edge of AI-based advanced analytics and a critical ingredient in the modern data stack – especially for enterprise organizations. They are absolutely essential to the operations of many of our customers, giving them a competitive advantage,” said Joseph DeBuzna, Vice President, Product Management, Enterprise & Database at Fivetran. “We look forward to our growing collaboration and delivering new data-driven breakthroughs across industries.”
Coming soon, Fivetran’s high-volume data replication managed service will be made native for Databricks on Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud. Joint Fivetran and Databricks customers will be empowered with a real-time, high-performance, and low-impact method of replicating data from sources such as Oracle, SQL Server and later this year, SAP. Fivetran enables customers to move large volumes of SAP data via a log-based change data capture (CDC) process.
