Based upon the latest ODBC 3.52 specification, Simba-s cloud ODBC driver extends performance and functionality of the Host Analytics CPM Suite for cloud-based business analytics on financial data. The cloud ODBC 3.52 driver pulls financial data from Host Analytics into popular third party tools, including IBM Cognos, Microsoft Excel, Oracle Business Intelligence Suite Enterprise Edition, SAP BusinessObjects, or QlikView Business Discovery, allowing customers to view operational and financial data in one place for full visibility and a better overall understanding of business performance.
Cloud computing allows enterprises to get applications up and running faster, with improved manageability and less maintenance. Simba-s cloud ODBC 3.52 driver empowers this. Simba-s cloud ODBC driver technology complies with the latest ODBC 3.52 standard; it provides Unicode support and both 32- and 64-bit support – delivering full functionality and high-performance for cloud-based data access and analytics.
ODBC is the most common data interface used by BI, data analysis and reporting applications for relational data connectivity. It was developed in 1992 by Microsoft and Simba Technologies and has been the flagship API for SQL ever since.
Simba-s ODBC toolkit, SimbaEngine ODBC SDK, makes building a custom ODBC 3.52 driver for either a SQL or a NoSQL data source quick and easy. The toolkit includes comprehensive documentation and an array of sample data drivers that developers can use as a starting base – all of which is backed by Simba-s acclaimed engineering-level technical support. Using the ODBC SDK, Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) can build a custom ODBC driver, as well as a JDBC driver, an ADO.NET provider or an OLE DB provider in just a few days.
