Developer Technologies cover a wide range of use cases in various environments, programming languages, operating systems and infrastructures. Products include:

• SQL-based data access (PI OLEDB Provider, PI OLEDB Enterprise, PI JDBC Driver, PI ODBC Driver, PI SQL Client OLE DB, PI SQL Client ODBC, and PI SQL Client JDBC)

• Service-oriented architecture (PI Web API)
