Deliver Secure SQL Access for Enterprise APIs: For Enterprise Architects and ISVs
IT needs a fast way to SQL-enable their internal API layer for business intelligence.
Organizations are investing heavily in API layers to control authentication and data access from one place. However, enterprise data teams can’t access this data from their favorite BI tools such as IBM Cognos, OBIEE, TIBCO or MicroStrategy without complex custom coding.
As companies adopt multiple analytical and data management tools, SQL access to the enterprise API layer (or data access layer) is crucial. The ideal solution enables you to quickly build real-time access to your API layer from popular BI tools, while taking advantage of centralized API management capabilities.

- How to how to quickly integrate your internal API layer into leading tools such as Microsoft Excel, SAP BusinessObjects, IBM Cognos, Oracle Business Intelligence and others
- What to look for in a connector SDK for delivering SQL clients (ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET and OLE-DB)
- Steps to deliver custom SQL connectivity in under five days

Why You Need a New Mobile Architecture
Great user experiences today and in the future will be embodied in mobile apps, responsive web applications and interactions with the Internet of Things. The need for these great user experiences has already transformed the way consumer applications are designed, built, delivered and maintained.
The same consumers are now demanding similar experiences from enterprise applications. New enterprise applications have to be what Forrester calls “Systems of Engagement,” where the focus is on elegantly adapting processes to people instead of focusing just on the processes themselves.
If your existing web architecture doesn't support unique mobile needs, now is the time for change. This whitepaper outlines how Kinvey provides a new mobile architecture that enables delivery of these new enterprise applications with rapid development times and consistency for IT.

Kinvey Cloud Services Security Overview
Security and privacy are major concerns when it comes to enterprise mobile applications. In fact, many enterprises are only moderately confident about the efficacy of their mobile security controls and policies.
The use of a secure, enterprise-grade mobile backend-as-a-service (mBaaS) solution alleviates these security and privacy risks by isolating and protecting enterprise data sources and networks from client applications running on untrusted devices and their networks. The Kinvey application development platform has been built to the highest security standard.
