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.
