Tech stack

The result

Our data team leveraged key features in Snowflake to produce a cost-effective, secure, and agile data solution.

We optimized data processing costs by separating storage and computing resources, and using a hybrid orchestration design enabled data reporting in a fraction of the time in minutes, not hours. And by pairing data-sharing with dynamic data masking features, we ensured the protection of PII and powered fast data processing.

To deliver robust intelligence and visualization capabilities for users, our team leveraged a boutique BI cloud environment designed for financial services, migrating the legacy reporting system from BusinessObjects. We also consolidated the system’s reporting operations from 5,000 to 660 reports, delivering substantial computing cost efficiencies.
