One of my favorite onsite meetings is with R&D teams at Financial Services shops for the following reasons:
<ul>
<li>Smart and talented R&D teams</li>
<li>Build and deliver highly sophisticated systems and operate similar to a software company</li>
<li>Do real work with real data</li>
<li>Adopt and experiment with the latest technologies</li>
</ul>
<h1>DataDirect Custom Connectivity for Financial Services R&D</h1>
I’ve learned a lot from meeting with finserv database R&D teams around data connectivity, and I want to give back to my new techie friends with <a href=”https://www.progress.com/products/open-access?sfdcid=701a0000002MkKS&cmpid=ddblog”>DataDirect OpenAccess SDK</a>. The most common thing I’m hearing is the challenge of consuming the latest disruptive technologies for developers since they don’t always play nicely with business systems, in a highly regulated vertical. We solve this with our commercial drivers in most cases (<a href=”https://blogs.datadirect.com/2014/06/sql-access-mongodb-odbc-expanded-adoption-financial-services.html”>similar to MongoDB which we solved</a>), but we want to enable your R&D teams to address every possible case.
<h1>Leave no data behind | Common custom data connectivity projects across financial services</h1>
<ul>
<li>SQL enable semantic data layers to query enterprise business logic from existing infrastructure such as <a href=”https://blogs.datadirect.com/2011/04/enabling-cognos-with-custom-data-sources-in-real-time-yep-we-got-that.html”>IBM Cognos</a> or <a href=”https://blogs.datadirect.com/2011/08/tableau-odbc-connectivity-to-salesforce-web-services-soa-and-data-services-blown-wide-open.html”>Tableau</a>.</li>
<li>Access data directly and in real-time from <a href=”https://www.progress.com/customers/hp”>flat file compliance archives</a>. This same architecture applies to any intermediary repository or data lake with real-time data connectivity requirements</li>
<li>Databases as a service in private clouds where DataDirect OpenAccess SDK is used to build a combination of the client connectivity and virtual layer over databases. It’s a very similar use case as to what <a href=”https://www.progress.com/customers/netsuite”>NetSuite has done using the SDK</a> for their public cloud application, except I’m going to take a wild guess you want private clouds.</li>
<li>Enterprise search integration to enrich intelligence from indexed customer data with dashboards used by financial reps.</li>
</ul>

<h1>Build a prototype today to open up new data opportunities</h1>
I recently built <a href=”https://blogs.datadirect.com/2014/02/querying-apache-solr-rest-api-obiee-business-objects-qlikview-bi-platforms.html”>ODBC, JDBC, and ADO.NET connectivity to Apache Solr</a> using <a href=”https://www.progress.com/products/open-access?sfdcid=701a0000002MkKS&cmpid=ddblog”>DataDirect OpenAccess SDK</a> in less than an hour; and have built drivers to proprietary flat files on layovers to the west coast.
<a href=”http://forms.progress.com/forms/driverdownload?sfdcid=701a0000002MkKS&cmpid=ddblog”>Download a free trial</a> to build a couple prototypes, and we should already have legal evaluation agreements in place for evaluations where required. We even provide run-time installers and branding capabilities if you want to start distributing the software to end clients.
<h1>Tweet @SAsInSumit on what you’re planning to build next</h1>
That was a little finserv humor, so call us at 1-800-876-3101 to speak under NDA. We should already have them in place at all the top shops.
