“Yep, It Works with Tableau”: New Certification Program Provides Tableau Interoperability Validation for SimbaEngine SDK-developed Custom ODBC Drivers
Vancouver, BC, August 29, 2014--(T-Net)--Simba Technologies Inc.®, a leader in Big Data connectivity, announced the launch of its “Certified-for-Tableau” custom ODBC Driver program.
The certification service is available immediately for developers building fully-featured, high-performance data-connectivity drivers with the SimbaEngine SDK®, Simba's best-in-class ODBC and JDBC software development kit for SQL-enabled and non-SQL data stores.
“Whether they're working with MongoDB, Cassandra, Hive, Impala, or Salesforce data, our customers demand the best software development platform for building drivers,” says Simba Technologies CEO Amyn Rajan. “With today's introduction of Simba's Certified-for-Tableau ODBC driver service, developers can validate that ODBC drivers they build with the leading platform for data connectivity development platform are guaranteed to work with the leading data analytics solution.”
As part of the new Certified-for-Tableau ODBC driver service offering, Simba Technologies delivers five major components to SimbaEngine ODBC SDK customers:
“The value-add is peace of mind,” says Simba Technologies COO David Foster. “Whatever their data source, SimbaEngine developers know that when they receive the Simba ‘Certified-for-Tableau' seal of approval, their ODBC drivers will just work. Period. The luxury of taking that connectivity and Tableau compatibility for granted means data scientists can get to work on what's most important: analyzing their data.”
(Developers whose ODBC drivers do not pass initial validation can address Simba-identified remediation issues and resubmit drivers for additional evaluation.)
