# Overview

> Prequel is the easiest way for B2B software companies to transfer data to customers.

<Note>
  This guide is written exclusively for **Prequel Export**. To learn more about **Prequel Import**, see the [Prequel Import Guide](/import).
</Note>

Prequel makes it easy for engineering and product teams to connect to customers' data warehouses, databases, or object storage and sync data to them. Prequel connects directly to the data stores and efficiently moves data from source to destination. Complexity around high volumes, high reliability, and data integrity, across SQL dialects, data types, and connection modalities, is all abstracted away behind the Prequel API.
