Maintain platform data like a spreadsheet

NextTables is a business-first platform for building data maintenance apps on enterprise data platforms. It enables teams to maintain the data that drives analytics and AI — reference mappings, classifications, hierarchies, and corrections — directly inside platforms like SAP Business Data Cloud (SAP Datasphere) and Databricks, with Snowflake and Microsoft Fabric on the roadmap.

Every change is validated at entry against enterprise master data, controlled through role-based access. Business data never leaves the enterprise data platform — no shadow databases, no middleware, no new security perimeter.

NextTables connects natively to:

• SAP Business Data Cloud (Datasphere)
• Databricks
• PostgreSQL
• Snowflake — on the roadmap
• Microsoft Fabric — on the roadmap

NextTables reads from and writes directly to the enterprise data platform — no middleware, no staging database, no data duplication.

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 centre mappings, chart of accounts corrections, allocation rules
• Marketing & Sales — customer segment classifications, campaign taxonomies
• 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 — without building custom applications.

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

vs. Spreadsheets:

Spreadsheets destroy governance. Data is exported, edited offline, versioned in email, and often not re-uploaded. NextTables eliminates this pattern — business teams work directly on the platform with validation at entry and role-based access.

vs. PowerApps, SAP Build, Retool:

General-purpose app builders target any kind of application. NextTables is purpose-built for one: data maintenance apps for enterprise data platforms. It validates against enterprise master data and writes directly to the platform out of the box — no custom per use-case development required.

vs. BI write-back tools:

BI write-back extensions are locked to one BI vendor and often write to a sidecar database. NextTables is BI-agnostic, writes directly to the enterprise data platform, and enforces the same governance model regardless of where it's embedded.

• Enterprise SSO — users authenticate with existing company credentials. No platform accounts needed.
• Row-level authorization — access rules enforced structurally, driven by control tables that define which user may access which rows.
• Validation at entry — invalid data cannot be written to the platform.
• Dedicated tenant isolation — each customer runs in an isolated environment, deployed in their region.
• No vendor lock-in — remove NextTables at any time without migrating a single record.

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.

There are no shadow databases, no copies or caches, and no new security perimeters. If you remove NextTables, your data stays exactly where it is. Nothing to migrate, nothing to export.

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. No switching tools, no exporting. The governance model does not change based on the hosting BI tool.
