The first managed MCP platform to provide semantic rich context with live access to 300+ enterprise systems governed by AI applications
Chapel Hill, North Carolina, September 24, 2025 /prnewswire/ – 2nd Annual Basics meeting, CDATA Software Connect AI, the first managed model context protocol (MCP) platform to integrate AI assistants, agent orchestration platform, AI workflow automation, and embedded AI applications with over 300 enterprise data sources, has been announced. With in-place access to governed enterprise data, Connect AI retains data semantics and relationships, allowing AI to fully understand the context. The solution can also inherit user permissions and authentication directly from the source, deployed to the cloud, or embedded in software products in minutes with point-and-click configuration.
Connect AI delivers the same enterprise-grade connectivity technology already built into by top technology companies such as Palantir, SAP, Salesforce Data Cloud, and Google Cloud, and rethinks it specifically for AI workloads with real-time semantic integration.
Solutions are built on the momentum of the company MCP Serverwe've already seen thousands of users connect hundreds of data sources to AI assistants. Adoption examines AI's needs for governed enterprise data integration that understands context and relationships.
“Companies who want to work with business data safely and effectively need real-time access in conjunction with semantic understanding. AI needs to understand where it lives, as well as what it means,” he said. Manish PatelChief Product Officer of CDATA. “Connect AI allows businesses to deliver AI applications for the first time, providing live access to data across hundreds of systems using contextual intelligence that transforms AI from productivity experiments to trusted enterprise tools.”
Breaking the deployment barriers for enterprise AI
Connect AI solves two core challenges mit It was identified in a recent study. mit Nevertheless, it has been reported $3040 billion in enterprise AI investments and 95% of AI pilots were unable to provide measurable business impacts, primarily due to data access and governance challenges.
First, through data-in-place access, Connect AI maintains the rich contextual relationships that AI agents need for intelligent decision-making, providing both immediate data access and meaningful data understanding.
Second, AI inherits existing security and authentication protocols configured in the source system, and AI access remains consistent with organizational controls. Data access is recorded under the identities of authenticated users or agents for comprehensive governance. Additional AI controls can be layered and managed within Connect AI.
Immediate impact on AI use by businesses and software providers
Enterprise uses Connect AI in AI apps to get context-conscious answers from business data in seconds. Work that previously required days or weeks of report building. The ability to handle complex queries across diverse systems with semantic understanding will make sales teams use Claude for pipeline insights, encourage marketing teams to urge ChatGPT for campaign analysis, and rely on real-time budget updates and financial reports for their finance teams. IT and AI engineering teams can also power agents built through AI workflow automation and agent orchestration platforms.
ISVs connect AI directly within the product to provide end users with self-service integration between the data source and the agent capabilities of the ISV. White Label Offering gives tech companies an edge in the race of AI users, as agents can operate in the full semantic context of the end-user business.
“Connecting CDATA's AI with Acumatica completely changed the way you access your ERP data,” he said. Bhavik ParyaniPaliani Construction's growth and strategic leader. “I was able to pull out live financial data and create interactive dashboards in the middle of a project meeting. Our team was able to jump straight into the numbers and get answers on the spot. We'll be able to quickly access this type of business data through a simple conversation with AI, and promote our ability to deliver projects to time, budgets and high quality standards.”
Industry verification and market opportunities
This proven connectivity technology examines the key role of CDATA in expanding enterprise data connectivity and AI-Native integration.
“Organisations are struggling to scale their AI as data is often siloed, inconsistent, or inadequately governed, and create risk and inefficiency. Many AI initiatives stall as they struggle with consolidation of multiple data sources while maintaining compliance,” he said. Stephen CatanzanoSenior Analyst, Data Management, Enterprise Strategy Group. “Tools like CDATA's Connect AI are emerging in response to these broad market challenges, reflecting the company's vision to streamline AI-enabled data access across its enterprises.”
“Connect AI represents an important milestone in CDATA's mission to make every company “AI-Ready” with real-time semantic intelligence,” he said. Amit SharmaCEO of CDATA. “We leverage our deep expertise in enterprise data connectivity. Over the years, we have been connecting applications to hundreds of data sources and rethinking them in the AI era. This allows AI assistants and agent systems users to provide groundbreaking access and experience that were previously impossible. Intelligent contextual data access.”
