Snowflake: Broken down“ Snowflake’ s founders started from scratch and built a data platform that would harness the immense power of the cloud,” the company says.“ But their vision didn’ t stop there. They engineered Snowflake to power the Data Cloud, where thousands of organisations have seamless access to explore, share and unlock the true value of their data.”
In the years since it was founded, Snowflake has amassed more than 11,000 global customers, with 6.3 billion queries placed on average each day.
Emphasising Snowflake’ s pivotal role in the data and AI landscape, Sridhar says:“ Today, Snowflake is the most consequential data and AI company in the world. More than 11,000 customers are already betting their business on our easy-to-use, efficient and trusted platform.
“ We see tremendous opportunities ahead to support our customers throughout their end-to-end data lifecycle, and we are laser-focused on delivering on this vision.”
Do data challenges hamper AI initiatives? Despite the promising returns on AI investments, many organisations face significant hurdles in making their data AI-ready, according to a global study by Snowflake. The research reveals that while 92 % of early AI adopters report a positive ROI, 58 % struggle with preparing their data for AI applications.
