What is a Data Connector? Skilljar’s Data Connector is a customer-specific PostgreSQL database hosted on Amazon Web Services enabling easy and reliable integrations with any tool that can directly access and query data. The integration allows companies to visualize their learning and certification data in new and powerful ways, as well as analyze and combine training data with business intelligence from other areas of the company for actionable insights.
