This offering is in response to the challenges you have reported over the years around increasing access to your data. We’ve been listening. Read-only Database Access will enable your organization to:
- Connect directly to a real-time, read-only replica of your transactional and warehouse database
- Improve performance by running reports and queries against the read-only rather than transactional database
- Incorporate modern reporting and data aggregation tools such as Power BI, Azure Data Factory, DataStage, etc.
- Connect with SSMS and SSRS
- Save time troubleshooting by running investigative queries directly against the read-only database rather than filing tickets with support
- Obtain access to database tables not available with the CRM Query tool

“Database Read-only Access is absolutely essential and has quickly become the foundation of our reporting development. We continue to be impressed with how fast refreshes are. In a very short time after deployment we were already using it to drive dashboards for fundraisers and executive leadership.”
