CData Software, a recognized leader in data connectivity and integration, has announced the release of the CData Snowflake Integration Accelerator — a powerful, end-to-end solution engineered to simplify and expedite data integration for Snowflake users. This new offering enables enterprises to cut integration development time by up to 90%, delivering faster insights and maximizing returns on their Snowflake investments.
Snowflake’s Data Cloud provides a unified platform for data, analytics, and AI workloads. Yet, enterprises often encounter roadblocks when integrating data from disparate systems due to the complexities of traditional ETL processes and hybrid IT environments. These challenges are amplified in infrastructures that span on-premises, cloud, and private cloud systems.
The CData Snowflake Integration Accelerator addresses these pain points by offering a no-code approach to data ingestion and transformation, combined with real-time connectivity to Snowflake data. It distinguishes itself from conventional solutions with its flexible deployment options, automated ETL workflows, and transparent, usage-independent pricing model.
“Snowflake is transforming how organizations manage and analyze data, but the complexity of integrating enterprise data in hybrid and multi-cloud environments can slow down time-to-value,” said Manish Patel, Chief Product Officer, CData. “With the CData Snowflake Integration Accelerator, we’re empowering organizations to unlock the full potential of their Snowflake investments by simplifying data integration for real-world tech stacks.”

Key Capabilities of the CData Snowflake Integration Accelerator
The accelerator includes three purpose-built toolkits that automate integration workflows and deliver live, standards-based access to Snowflake data:
1. Snowflake Ingestion Toolkit
Accelerate Snowflake data ingestion by up to 10x using no-code Change Data Capture (CDC) across more than 270 data sources, including APIs, databases, and SaaS platforms. This toolkit supports live integration from core business systems—such as sales, marketing, and finance—into Snowflake via external tables, with additional support for Iceberg Tables and data staging.
2. Live Snowflake Data Access Toolkit
Enable real-time connectivity to Snowflake from virtually any application, with native integration for Microsoft tools like SSAS, SSRS, and SSIS. It also supports Salesforce integration via Lightning Connect, offering seamless access to Snowflake data within the broader Salesforce environment.
3. Cortex AI Integration Toolkit
Facilitate AI-powered analytics in Snowflake Cortex AI through real-time connectivity to both structured and semi-structured enterprise data. This toolkit delivers AI-ready data pipelines instantly, enabling Cortex AI to ingest and process data efficiently for advanced decision-making. With built-in CDC and programmatic orchestration, it supports agentic models and real-time AI-driven insights.
Customer Spotlight: Empower Services Transforms Healthcare Data Operations
Empower Services, a healthcare analytics leader, successfully adopted the CData Snowflake Integration Accelerator to modernize its data pipelines. By eliminating fragile, manual processes, Empower reduced data job runtimes by 91%—from 90 minutes to just 8 minutes—while eliminating the need for manual table mapping. This transformation enabled rapid data ingestion into Snowflake and paved the way for AI-powered applications such as Streamlit dashboards and Cortex AI for clinical documentation.
“What I really appreciate about CData is how it pushes through table creation and eliminates so much of the manual work I had to do with SSIS and Talend. It’s just a better, faster solution,” said Ken Carter, Senior Director of Data and Analytics at Empower Services.
