The full workforce dataset, analytics-ready from day one
Solving the four barriers to HR data
Workforce data is locked in the HCM that creates it. DIY connectors land only headline fields, raw dumps leave modeling to your team, API breakage is your problem to fix forever, and engineering costs grow unpredictably.
HR Data Bridge Solution Brief

From locked HCM data to landed, analytics-ready tables
Aquera pulls every entity and relationship from your HCM, normalizes it into a trustworthy schema with surrogate keys and effective dating, and lands it in your own database or warehouse, with auto schema evolution and 24/7 managed operations.
Pull the full object model from your HCM
HR Data Bridge reads workers, payroll, time, attendance, and benefits from the HCM over its native APIs, every entity and relationship, not a headline-fields sample.
- Complete dataset. Core HR, payroll, time & attendance, and benefits.
- Custom fields included. Every field in every selected object is point-and-click selectable.
- API Event Feed. Source events auto-detected; landed data updated continuously.
Land a normalized, analytics-ready schema
Third Normal Form tables with surrogate keys, a universal worker spine, and built-in data-quality tests, created and evolved automatically, no DBA tickets.
- Auto schema evolution. Bidirectional ALTER TABLE when source columns change.
- SCD 0 · 1 · 2. Overwrite or audit-grade historical append, no custom SQL.
- Multi-target write. One source read lands in warehouse and directory.
Deliver to the target you already own
Choose Direct to Database, JSON Staging, or Parquet Staging, all landing in the same governed schemas so you can switch later without changing downstream reports.
- 7 supported targets. Snowflake, Databricks, Redshift, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle, MS Fabric.
- Power BI included. Production dashboards included out of the box.
- Least-privilege zone. Bridge writes only to schemas it owns, nothing else visible.
The full workforce dataset, not a sample, not a raw dump, not a DIY project
The Full Object Model
Everything your HCM exposes, every entity, relationship, and custom field, extracted over native APIs. Not the headline fields a generic connector lands.
Fully Managed Pipeline
Aquera owns API changes, rate limits, and pipeline health end to end, 24/7 monitoring with proactive detection and unlimited support tickets included.
Self-Service in Under an Hour
Configuration-driven, point-and-click deployment with no engineering project, operational from Day 1 and priced as a predictable subscription.

Frequently asked questions
What is Aquera HR Data Bridge? +
Aquera HR Data Bridge is an Extract & Land engine that pulls the full object model from an HCM system over its native APIs and lands it as an analytics-ready, normalized schema in the customer's own database, cloud data warehouse, or BI platform. There are no manual CSV exports and no write-back to the source.
What are the main benefits? +
Four things DIY pipelines and generic connectors do not: the full object model, a trustworthy model with surrogate keys and built-in data-quality tests, a fully managed service, and speed, self-service deployment in 1 hour to 1 day.
What problem does it solve? +
Business-critical workforce data is locked inside the HCM that creates it, while the questions that need it live in the analytics stack. HR Data Bridge replaces manual CSV exports and fragile DIY pipelines with automated, continuous extraction.
How does it work? +
It reads workers, payroll, time, and benefits data from the HCM over its native APIs, runs it through the Extract & Land engine, and lands it in the warehouse, SQL database, or BI platform you already own. It stays read-only on the source.
What HR data can it extract? +
The complete workforce dataset an HCM exposes: HR and worker core data, payroll (pay statements, deductions, taxes), time and attendance, and benefits (enrollments, plan catalogs, HSA/FSA accounts).
Why is moving HR data to an analytics stack so hard? +
Four reasons: depth, DIY endpoints capture headline fields only; modeling, raw dumps leave schema design to your team; maintenance, source API changes are yours to fix forever; and cost, a permanent hidden engineering tax.
Which databases and warehouses does it support? +
PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, Snowflake, Databricks, Microsoft Fabric, and Amazon Redshift.
What landing options does it offer? +
Three: direct to the customer's database, JSON staging (a durable, replayable raw zone), and Parquet staging (columnar and compressed for lakehouse interop). All three land in the same governed schemas.
How long does it take to deploy? +
HR Data Bridge is configuration-driven and self-service: it deploys in under an hour, ranging from 1 hour to 1 day, operational from Day 1.
Does it require engineers or DBAs? +
No. Object and attribute selection is point-and-click, and auto schema evolution issues bidirectional ALTER TABLE statements when source columns change, no DBA tickets, no custom SQL.
How does it handle schema changes? +
Auto schema evolution issues bidirectional ALTER TABLE statements when source columns are added or removed, and net-new source objects create new tables automatically.
Is it safe to connect to my database? +
Yes. The Bridge connects as a dedicated, least-privilege role that writes only to the schemas it owns. PII and GDPR-sensitive fields can be excluded or masked at extraction. Aquera is SOC 2 Type II attested, ISO 27001 and ISO 27701 certified.
How does it compare to DIY scripts and generic ETL? +
DIY pipelines take months of engineering, cover only the endpoints you build, and leave a permanent maintenance tax. HR Data Bridge self-service deploys in under an hour, extracts the full object model, and is fully managed.
How do I get started? +
Getting started requires no engineering project: it is configuration-driven and self-service, deploying in under an hour. Contact sales@aquera.com or visit aquera.com.
