Snowflake

Why Cloud

In the era where the amount of data generated increases each day and companies trying to leverage the power of advanced analytics to predict various business outcomes, Cloud solutions are turning out to be a gamechanger.

Accessibility

Traditional data marts are created to meet different business units’ unique use cases. In other words, it is difficult for an organization to get a whole picture of their data since the storage are in different legacy systems. Cloud solution, on the other hand, has the elasticity to store all data in one place. Different business units simply obtain different access to retrieve the data. With cloud solution, everyone could become data consumer, and make data-driven decisions.

Cost Efficiency

On-premise data warehouse requires a fixed amount of fund to support its infrastructure, maintenance, upgrade and security. With cloud, storage and compute will be charged separately, both usage-based and per-second. Resource Monitors for account administrators to close examine the cost billed at each account level, with details for both credit usage and storage usage.

Productivity

As cloud solution providers take care of the installation of software, maintenance, and many more IT related issues, organizations now can spend more time on what they want to achieve in the first place. Whether using data to visualize the growth, or projecting future demands with historical data, cloud solution is the key to stimulate the productivity and skip the time spent in upgrading software or debugging a connection problem.
