Microsoft SQL Server analytics, without the export
SQL Server is where the ERP, the finance system and most line-of-business data sit in companies built on Microsoft.
What teams ask of Microsoft SQL Server
Typed the way you would say them. Each answer comes back with its chart, its numbers and the SQL that produced them, so it can be checked before anyone acts on it.
- “What is AR ageing by customer and by business unit right now?”
- “Which cost centres are over budget, and by how much?”
- “How does this period compare with the same period last year?”
- “Which transactions were posted outside the normal close window?”
- “Which customers account for most of the revenue and most of the overdue balance?”
What it gets joined with
The questions that matter rarely live in one system. Supaboard writes the query across every source you have connected, so the join happens when the question is asked rather than in a pipeline project that has to be scoped first.
- Salesforce — revenue that was booked, against the pipeline that claimed it.
- Workday HCM — what a cost centre spent, against the headcount sitting in it.
How the connection works
Microsoft SQL Server is one of the 124 sources you can connect yourself, out of a catalogue of 700+. It connects directly and is queried live, so setting up a first analysis takes about 5 minutes.
SSL is on by default, and the form takes a database and a schema so a connection can be scoped to one part of the server rather than all of it. Finance data is usually where the deployment question comes up: on Enterprise the whole platform runs inside your own VPC, and nothing leaves it.
- Read-only by construction: the query layer rejects DDL and DML — DROP, CREATE, ALTER, TRUNCATE, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, GRANT, REVOKE and CALL — before a statement reaches your source.
- Credentials are encrypted at rest, scoped per workspace, never logged and never returned to a client.
- On the Enterprise plan the whole platform runs inside your own VPC, with no data egress at all. See Enterprise.
- From $83 per user per month billed annually, with a 14-day free trial and no credit card — see pricing.

Supaboard starts at $83 per user per month billed annually, with a 14-day free trial and no credit card. Every plan is per seat with usage credits included, so the fifth question in a session costs nothing. SOC 2 Type II covers every plan; HIPAA BAA: on Enterprise, as an add-on on Business.
