Written by Admin | Jan 30, 2025 12:29:27 PM

The latest release of Analysis Hub and Analysis Studio introduces Connector Designer, a new feature that makes data integration simple. With its intuitive interface, teams can seamlessly connect to internal and external data sources—no complex coding required.

What is Connector Designer, and how can it make a difference?

Connector Designer is a no-code, visual tool that enables users to integrate data from REST, SQL, Oracle databases (more coming soon) into their workflows. By simplifying the process of connecting to external internal data sources, it enables users to focus on analyzing and visualizing intelligence rather than building technical integrations.

How can Connector Designer help streamline intelligence workflows and make search and analysis more efficient?

Easily Access Data Sources: Connect to REST APIs or SQL and Oracle databases to retrieve critical information from various systems.
Standardize and Map Data: Transform data formats to match your schema, ensuring seamless integration into ANB Studio or Hub tools.
Create Tailored Search Services: Design custom queries for operational goals, like identifying persons of interest or tracing relationships between entities.
Work More Efficiently: Quickly set up and test integrations, reducing dependency on technical teams and enabling faster insights.
Uncover Linked Insights: Retrieve not just primary data but also related entities to expose deeper connections in seconds.

Can Connector Designer handle classified or secure data sources?

Yes. Connector Designer supports secure authentication methods, including API keys, OAuth, and basic authentication, ensuring secure access to sensitive intelligence databases while maintaining compliance with security protocols.

How does Connector Designer support collaborative intelligence workflows?

Lock Indicators: Prevent multiple users from editing the same connector simultaneously.
Versioning: Allow teams to make updates to connectors without losing previous configurations.
Shared Services: Publish connectors that can be used across teams, standardizing access to key data sources.
