Fivetran is a data integration company focused on one simple idea: making data easy to move and use. It provides a fully managed platform that automatically moves data from hundreds of sources into cloud destinations, helping team centralize information without building or maintaining complex pipelines. So, by handling the heavy lifting behind the scenes, Fivetran allows organizations to spend less time managing infrastructure and more time working on their data.
This approach has a real and growing impact, with more than 700 fully managed connectors, Fivetran supports hybrid and multi-cloud environments and keeps data accurate and secure as it flows into analytics and AI systems. Trusted by over 7,600 customers worldwide, the platform helps businesses standardize how data is collected and shared across teams, breaking down silos and making insights more accessible.

In 2025, the company's momentum was also recognized with a Microsoft Marketplace Partner of the Year Award and a finalist spot for Microsoft's Americas Emerging Partner of the Year. These milestones reflect its role in helping enterprises modernize data infrastructure on Microsoft Azure and prepare for AI-driven workloads. By continuing to deepen its partnerships and focus on reliable, automated data movement, Fivetran is well positioned to carry this success forward as organizations increasingly rely on data s the backbone of future intelligence.
