What we do:

As AI Data Cloud Services Snowflake partner, we work with enterprises where the data estate is complex and the stakes are high: across AdTech, Healthcare, and Financial Services. We migrate legacy warehouses, shape the data so AI can act on it, and put the governance in place to keep it safe in production.

What you get:

Governed solutions where your data, models, and AI agents run against a single source of truth. That comes with Snowflake CoCo Preferred Partner behind it, unlocking co-financing programs, solution validation, and hands-on expertise across the Snowflake AI Data Cloud platform and products: Snowpipe, Snowpark, Snowsight, and more.

Our Snowflake Practice

Migration and modernization

Be it ClickHouse, BigQuery, SQL Server, Redshift, Postgres, or an on-prem warehouse – we’ll help you move to Snowflake without putting your business on hold, and with a clear foundation for AI adoption across operations, product, and engineering.

Our focus is:

Current state assessment covering architecture, costs, and goals
Target architecture design and staged migration plan development
Workload sequencing, so nothing breaks in transit

Agentic AI transformation

Dashboards show the problem. As a Snowflake CoCo Preferred Partner, we build the layer that solves it, deploying Cortex Agents, CoCo, and CoWork to enable automated, multi-step workflows directly on your operational data.

Our focus is:

Cortex Analyst deployments that let business users query operational data in natural language
Cortex Agent design for multi-step workflows across structured and unstructured data sources
CoCo and CoWork implementations for automated, event-driven data workflows

Data engineering and real-time pipelines

Analytics is only as useful as it is current. We build ELT pipelines that keep data flowing into Snowflake continuously at volume, giving every downstream system, model, and report a reliable, up-to-date foundation to work from.

Our focus is:

Continuous data ingestion into Snowflake using ELT patterns
Real-time data delivery for dashboards, AI, and customer-facing products
Interactive reports built directly on live Snowflake data

BI & Analytics

Snowflake's semantic layer becomes the single governed source of truth for every tool in your stack. We connect your existing BI tools to that foundation and build native analytics on top of it, so every team works from the same numbers regardless of which tool they open.

Our focus is:

Semantic layer design and metric definitions to make Snowflake the authoritative source across your full BI stack
Native Snowsight dashboards and Cortex Analyst deployment for teams that want analytics without leaving Snowflake
Integrations with Tableau, Power BI, Looker, and Sigma built on top of governed Snowflake data

FinOps and performance

As usage grows, performance and spending need to stay aligned. We tune workloads, right-size compute, and put cost controls in place, where focused platform expertise cuts time to measurable results.

Our focus is:

Workload tuning and query routing to right-sized compute
Spend limits, usage controls, and continuous monitoring
Performance optimization against agreed latency targets

Industries we work in

AdTech businesses run on bids, impressions, clicks, and conversions tracked across dozens of systems that were never built to work together. The result is spreadsheets, reporting queues, and campaign decisions based on numbers already hours old. We build comprehensive AdTech platforms where Snowflake enables native data sharing across every component, without custom integrations between each piece. Traders see what is happening now. Campaign managers stop chasing discrepancies between their DSP and ad server. Analysts pull the reports they need without waiting on engineering.

We do:

End-to-end AdTech development: SSPs, DSPs, ad exchanges, DMPs, campaign management, and brand safety
Data pipelines that bring bid stream, delivery, and attribution data together in near real-time
Reporting engines that combine data arriving at different speeds into one consistent view for every team
Plain-English querying through Cortex Agents and Semantic Views
Infrastructure that scales with what you actually use so costs never run ahead of the business
Data monetization through Snowflake Marketplace and Clean Rooms

Sensitive patient and operational data can support analytics at hospital scale without compromising governance or cost control across clouds. We help healthcare organizations achieve that balance by building Snowflake environments that handle complex federated data, regulated workloads, and variable compute demands without sacrificing performance or compliance.

We do:

Predictive diagnostics and governed patient data
PHI-safe patient record management across federated data setups
Medical image processing and storage at scale
Omni-channel patient support powered by unified operational data
EMS management and dispatching with cost-optimized compute for variable workloads
Multi-cloud Snowflake deployment and migration from legacy clinical, operational, and RCM data estates

Scattered data across risk, reporting, and fraud analytics carries a cost that goes beyond compliance: it slows decisions, creates blind spots, and makes AI harder to trust. We bring it together into one governed platform with the access controls and auditability that need to be in place before any of it feeds production AI.

We do:

Risk, regulatory reporting, and fraud analytics on one governed platform
RBAC, masking, and full auditability for regulated workloads
Pre-AI data foundations aligned to model risk management
Secure data sharing with counterparties and regulators inside Snowflake

Security clearance and compliance obligations set a high bar before analytics, or AI can even begin. We build data platforms that meet those requirements from the ground up, without trading away the analytical capabilities the mission depends on.

We do:

Strict RBAC, classification, and audit for cleared workloads
Secure cross-agency data sharing without copies leaving Snowflake
Compliance-aligned analytics and AI on sensitive data

Case Studies

Ensuring 100% Actionable Ad Data with Snowflake

30% increase in publisher revenue with Snowflake-powered ML predictions
10× platform throughput, scaling from 2M to 2.5B records processed daily
~100 data integrations onboarded with near-constant maintenance effort
<10-minute data latency, reduced from initial 1-2 days

A full-service revenue amplification provider needed to modernize their analytical platform toward an ambitious goal: bring 30TB of accumulated first-party data to action and get the platform ready for the next big jump in scale.

Our team fully rebuilt the legacy solution, modernizing the architecture with Snowflake’s high-performance analytics and near-real-time data processing. The new platform became Playwire’s centralized data ecosystem for managing ad revenue for thousands of publisher sites, driving product innovation and ML-driven ad optimization, as well as effortlessly scaling with the growing workload.

Enterprise-Scale Data Platform Migration from BigQuery to Snowflake

1K tables and 450 pipelines migrated to Snowflake
30+ services transferred with zero effect on ongoing product releases
Reduced data platform TCO through Snowflake cost model alignment
Data sharing and governance unified across the organization

A leading cybersecurity platform provider needed to move its entire data platform off BigQuery, unify data across business units, and reduce infrastructure costs without disrupting active product releases. Working closely with the Client’s security team, we delivered a phased migration that kept product releases on track, governance and coding standards aligned across teams, and the new Snowflake foundation stable and debt-free as the organization scales.

Cost Transparency Across a Multi-Layered Snowflake Architecture

Billing and credit consumption tracking through a CoCo-built agent
On-demand cost visibility for finance and business teams
Structured cost insights delivered in a consistent, comparable format
Cost awareness extended organization-wide

Snowflake cost monitoring was locked inside the engineering team, leaving non-technical stakeholders dependent on manual reports and creating bottlenecks across the organization. We used CoCo to build a custom AI agent that tracks billing and credit consumption, answers cost questions on demand, and delivers structured insights in a consistent format, turning cost awareness into a shared capability across finance, business, and engineering teams.

CTV Measurement & Attribution Platform

Near real-time analytics across multi-platform ad campaign data
Scalable Snowflake Data Lake built for fully actionable measurement data
Reporting time reduced from minutes to sub-second with elastic compute
Improved scalability and lower maintenance costs for analytics workloads

A programmatic advertising Client needed a measurement foundation that could keep pace with the complexity of modern CTV campaigns: multiple platforms, high data volumes, and business teams that couldn’t wait overnight for answers. The result is a governed, elastic analytics platform that makes campaign performance visible in near real time.

Scalable Hospital Data Processing Platform

Multi-cloud SQL Server migration to a unified Snowflake environment
Automated ingestion from cloud storage to external stages
Reduced costs on smaller environments
Improved query performance on large data workloads

A hospital analytics provider running on SQL Server across multiple cloud environments needed lower costs and faster query performance without a disruptive migration. Moving to a unified Snowflake environment delivered both, with automated ingestion replacing manual data handling and elastic compute scaling to the workload, not the other way around.

Near Real-time AdTech Data & Analytics Platform

50 TB data lake built for fully actionable near real-time analytics
Snowpipe implementation delivering 5-to-10-minute latency against a 15-minute target
Full ML and Snowpark integration
Daily spend held under $600 with elastic compute

We helped a high-volume AdTech client build a robust and scalable platform that could handle dozens of terabytes of data, meet strict latency requirements, and stay within a fixed daily budget – without trading one off against the others.

High-Scale Analytics and Data Democratization for a Global Ad-Fraud Platform

Legacy ClickHouse data warehouse migration to Snowflake for high-scale analytics
First-party and third-party data unification into a single data lake
Low-latency customer-facing queries enablement with elastic virtual warehouses
Reliability, accessibility, and cross-org data sharing improvement with controlled costs

A global ad-fraud and digital-safety company was running high-scale analytics on a ClickHouse data warehouse that couldn’t keep pace with the business due to fragmented data, limited sharing, and growing reliability concerns. Moving to Snowflake unified first and third-party data into a single governed environment, unlocking customer-facing analytics and cross-organizational data sharing that wasn’t possible before.
