Turn Your Database into an Auditable, Governed API Layer for AI
AI Projects Stuck in
"Pilot Mode"?
DreamFactory becomes your on‑prem “data layer” that connects your existing data to any AI, analytics, or front-end system.
95% of AI projects fail to scale—and bad data is why. Your AI can't access the databases, legacy systems, and applications where your real data lives.
Chosen by teams in finance, manufacturing, public sector, and healthcare.
Why AI stalls in the enterprise – and how to break through
Bad data trapped in systems AI can't reach
Enterprises don’t stall on models; they stall on data access and control.
95% of AI projects fail—and bad data is why
Data stays put
Reduce exposure and duplication. Keep systems of record intact while letting AI acton them responsibly.
Governance travels with every request
The rules you already live by follow every question and action—so progress doesn’t come at the cost of control.
Time‑to‑impact in days, not quarters
Build on what you have. No re‑platforming. Deliver a first use case fast, then expand with confidence.
Your data is trapped
SQL databases. MongoDB. Legacy mainframes. SAP. Salesforce. File systems. Your most valuable data is scattered across dozens of systems that AI agents, applications, and analytics tools simply can't reach.
Traditional approaches make it worse
Building custom APIs takes 34 days per endpoint and costs $200K+ annually. Copying data into warehouses creates stale snapshots and compliance nightmares. Meanwhile, your team wastes 12 hours per week just chasing data.
DreamFactory breaks through
Connect any data source and auto-generate secure REST APIs in under 5 minutes. Live data access—no copies, no migration, no "tribal knowledge" bottlenecks. AI agents, apps, and teams get what they need, when they need it.
DreamFactory breaks through by becoming a secure, on-prem data plane that lets AI query governed, live data where it sits—cutting the plumbing work and compliance friction that stop most pilots.
Bring intelligence to your data—don’t push data to intelligence
Connect ChatGPT to your SQL Server—without exposing passwords
A safer way to get real work from AI: requests pass through the guardrails you set, and every action is accountable.
Your AI can't use data it can't access. DreamFactory creates a secure gateway that lets AI agents query your databases in real-time—while your credentials stay locked inside your infrastructure.
Start where you are
Your databases, files, and legacy systems remain the single source of truth
Wrap, don’t rip
DreamFactory becomes a policy‑aware gateway that lets AI “ask” for what it needs—within the boundaries you set.
One consistent port for many assistants
Model Context Protocol (MCP) gives teams a common way to let different AIs safely do real jobs without bespoke integrations each time.
Control that compounds
Every new use case inherits your guardrails automatically, so velocity increases while risk stays bounded.
AI agents get the data they need
Link ChatGPT, Claude, or custom agents directly to SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Oracle—any database. Query real-time information without copying data or building custom integrations from scratch.
Your credentials never leave
Database passwords stay in your environment. DreamFactory runs in your infrastructure and exposes only controlled API endpoints. You define exactly what each AI agent can see and do.
Security teams can say yes
Every query logged. Field-level permissions enforced. Data masking for sensitive fields. Complete audit trails for GDPR, HIPAA, SOC2. Finally deploy AI without the security team blocking your project.
What “good” looks like for each team
Your legacy data is an AI goldmine you can't unlock
Security & Compliance
Reduce blast radius and satisfy auditors.
Every AI action is bounded by your policies and leaves a trail. Visibility without another shadow system.
Data & Analytics
Deliver trustworthy answers on live data.
Stop exporting and syncing. Ask questions at the source and keep definitions consistent.
Application & Platform
Ship useful AI faster, with less rework.
Build a single, reusable “port” to enterprise context. New assistants plug in and work on day one.
Executives
Real outcomes without governance debt.
Stand up your first AI use case this quarter. Scale control and value in lockstep.
Query data at the source
No ETL pipelines to build. No stale copies to manage. No new data silos to secure. AI agents get current information from production systems, not yesterday's snapshot.
Stop the 12-hour data hunt
Workers waste 12 hours per week tracking down data. "Only Sarah in marketing knows"—sound familiar? DreamFactory makes data accessible to everyone who needs it, eliminating tribal knowledge bottlenecks.
Cut the $200K+ integration tax
Custom API development costs an average of $201,783 annually. DreamFactory generates production-ready APIs in 5 minutes for under $1,000. Save money. Ship faster.
Keep data in your control
Your infrastructure. Your rules. Deploy on-premises or in your private cloud. Data never leaves your environment unless you explicitly permit it. Complete control, zero vendor lock-in.
Start where impact is visible
Built for the Real Problems you are facing
Close the books faster
Let finance ask precise questions of live systems—with controls that satisfy audit.
Resolve ops bottlenecks in real time
Give operations a safe way to query inventory, suppliers, and production status in one place.
Accelerate customer answers
Equip support with instant context across systems—without new data copies.
Modernize safely
Layer AI on legacy systems now and modernize on your schedule, not AI’s.
"How do I connect AI to my database?"
Give AI agents secure access to enterprise databases without exposing credentials. Deploy ChatGPT, Claude, or custom agents with confidence. Governance and audit trails built in from day one.
"We can't modernize without ripping everything out"
Layer modern APIs on legacy systems—mainframes, SOAP services, proprietary databases. No re-platforming. No data migration. Modernize at your own pace without disrupting what works.
"Security keeps blocking our projects"
Finally get security to say yes. Role-based permissions for every user and system. Complete audit trails. 99% reduction in API vulnerabilities. Compliance-ready for GDPR, HIPAA, SOC2 out of the box.
"Our team wastes hours hunting for data"
Eliminate "only Bob knows" bottlenecks. Make databases accessible through governed APIs. Developers, analysts, and AI agents get what they need instantly—no more chasing people for data access.
Progress without the stomach ache
No rip-and-replace. No data migration. No months-long projects
A clean alternative to direct database access for AI: containment by design, no new data silos, and full accountability.
Your data stays where it is. Your existing systems keep running. DreamFactory deploys in your infrastructure—on-premises, private cloud, or hybrid—and creates APIs on top of what you already have. Zero disruption. Complete control.
What “good” looks like for each team

Questions, answered
We have legacy systems. Is that a blocker?
It’s a reason to start. You can modernize on your schedule while AI delivers value now.
Will this make audits harder?
The opposite – every AI action can be explained after the fact, which is what auditors need.
What if we change models later?
Your “port” stays the same. Swap models and assistants without rebuilding the plumbing.
Do we have to move or copy our data?
No. The whole point is letting AI work where your data already lives.
Can you really connect ChatGPT to my SQL Server without exposing passwords?
Yes. DreamFactory runs in your infrastructure. Your database credentials never leave your environment. You create secure API endpoints with role-based permissions, and external AI tools call those APIs—not your database directly.
What if our data is in legacy systems or mainframes?
That's exactly what DreamFactory was built for. We connect to SQL, NoSQL, legacy systems, SOAP services, mainframes, SaaS platforms—20+ connectors. Your "legacy liability" becomes your competitive advantage—decades of valuable data, now AI-accessible.
How is this different from building APIs ourselves?
Your team takes 34 days and $45K to build one custom API. DreamFactory auto-generates production-ready APIs in 5 minutes. Built-in security, documentation, authentication, governance included. Organizations save $201,783 annually on API development costs on average.
Won't this create security nightmares?
The opposite. Role-based access control. Field-level encryption. Complete audit logs. 99% reduction in common API vulnerabilities. Every action traceable. Compliance-ready for GDPR, HIPAA, SOC2. Security teams love it because they can finally see and control everything.
