After just six months, the Snowflake Data Cloud already stores more than a half billion POS records for analysis. Finance loves the dramatically simplified reporting process. Instead of consuming days (or weeks) of manual work to compile data for analysis, the team can make decisions with near real-time data.
IT likes the platform’s ease of use, which frees the limited team resources for other uses. The IT organization can now set up virtual data warehouses in Snowflake, which let them monitor activity by users and departments, and then charge back cloud computing costs accordingly.
