Maintain platform data like a spreadsheet

NextTables is a business-first hub for data maintenance apps, enabling business teams to maintain the data that drives analytics and AI, validated, authorized, and auditable, directly on enterprise data platforms like SAP Business Data Cloud, Databricks, and more.

Business users work in a familiar grid with guided entry that leads them to the right value. Apps embed into any BI dashboard so teams maintain data where they already make decisions. Every entry is validated before it's written, access is controlled down to the row, and changes appear instantly across every report. Business data stays exclusively in the customer's data platform. The result is validated, traceable data that AI models and decision agents can trust from day one.

NextTables connects natively to:

• SAP Business Data Cloud (Datasphere)
• Databricks
• PostgreSQL
• Snowflake · Coming Soon
• Microsoft Fabric · Coming Soon

NextTables reads from and writes directly to the enterprise data platform, so your data stays where it already lives.

For organizations running multiple platforms, NextTables supports cross-platform data maintenance.

NextTables is used by any team that maintains data on an enterprise data platform:

• Finance: cost center mappings, chart of accounts corrections, allocation rules
• Marketing & Sales: customer segment classifications, campaign groupings
• HR & Operations: org hierarchies, role mappings, employee classifications
• Data & Analytics: reference data maintenance, cross-platform configurations, data app creation

Business teams work through a familiar grid interface with smart search and validation built in. Data and IT teams set up data apps, define validation rules, and assign access, all by configuration.

Cross-platform data maintenance covers the case where the answer lives on one platform and the data on another: an app can validate against master data in SAP Business Data Cloud and write the result to Databricks.

vs. Spreadsheets:

Excel stays a supported way in: business users can prepare data in a spreadsheet and upload it through NextTables, where every row is validated before it is written. What changes is the return path. Instead of an offline file that gets versioned by email and loaded days later, every entry is checked against your master data at the point of entry, scoped by role, and live in every report the moment it is saved.

vs. PowerApps, SAP Build, Retool, Mendix:

General-purpose app builders target any kind of application. NextTables is purpose-built for one: data maintenance apps for enterprise data platforms. So the parts you would hand-build into every app are already there: validation against your master data, row-level rules that can reuse the access tables you already keep, an audit log inside your data platform, and business users who sign in with SSO and need no account on the data platform or a license for the app platform.

vs. BI write-back tools:

BI write-back extensions work well for quick edits inside one tool. They are built into that tool, though, and often write to a sidecar database, so an organization running SAC and Power BI and Tableau needs a different one for each. NextTables embeds into any of them, writes directly to the enterprise data platform, and applies the same validation, authorization, and audit log wherever it runs.

• Enterprise SSO: users sign in with the company credentials they already have, so business users need an account on NextTables only.
• Row-level authorization: access rules enforced structurally, driven by control tables that define which user may access which rows.
• Validation at entry: only valid data reaches the platform.
• Dedicated tenant isolation: each customer runs in an isolated environment on Microsoft Azure in Western Europe, with encryption at rest and in transit.
• No vendor lock-in: remove NextTables at any time and every record stays in your platform.

No. NextTables stores only configuration metadata: the definitions of your data apps, validation rules, and access roles. All business data remains exclusively in your enterprise data platform.

Your platform remains the single source of truth for business data. If you remove NextTables, your data stays exactly where it is.

Yes. NextTables data apps embed directly into any BI dashboard that supports web objects, including SAP Analytics Cloud, Power BI, and Tableau.

Business teams maintain data in the same context where they consume reports. Validation, authorization, and the audit log work the same way in every BI environment.
