Monterrey – October 29, 2026 -- Definity has become the first strategic partner in Latin America for German software provider dab, taking the SAP-certified dab Nexus platform to enterprises that want to move SAP data into Microsoft Fabric.

dab Nexus replicates SAP ECC and S/4HANA data into Microsoft Fabric in near real time

SAP systems hold some of the most important operational and financial data in many enterprises. Making that data available across the business often takes manual exports, custom integrations and ongoing maintenance. dab Nexus replaces this with automated, near-real-time integration from SAP ECC and S/4HANA into Microsoft Fabric.

The platform supports SAP Clean Core principles. Once the data sits in Fabric, organizations can use it for Power BI reporting, process mining, machine learning and advanced analytics.

Ticketing runs on the same supporter data as school fundraising

Ticketing is built into the existing eTeamSponsor platform. Every ticket buyer therefore connects to the supporter data behind a school's fundraising, giving days and sponsorships.

Fans buy tickets from any phone, and staff scan them at entry. Athletic departments see every sale in real time.

The product translates institutional analyst commentary on rating changes, price targets, and outlook shifts into concise takeaways, addressing what Benzinga describes as a longstanding accessibility gap between professional research and retail-facing trading tools.

Integration places research alongside TradingView's charting and community features
