Snowflake and Segment Partner to Enable Rapid Analysis of Customer Data at Scale

Technology Leaders Snowflake Computing and Segment Make Dozens of Customer Data Sources Instantly Available with Joint Data Analytics Solution

Snowflake Computing, the data warehouse built for the cloud, announced a strategic partnership with Segment, the customer data platform, to provide Snowflake’s cloud data warehouse on the Segment platform. Together, the technology leaders deliver a comprehensive data solution for enterprises to easily aggregate and analyze their customer data at scale to enable data-driven insights.

Segment customers now have direct access to an infinitely elastic data warehouse built for the cloud, and Snowflake benefits from a single data connector that brings together more than 40 data sources through Segment’s single API. Through this partnership, customers can store and access their aggregated data in a scalable cloud data warehouse with fast queries and zero maintenance.

To illustrate, Segment customer Doximity, a social network for medical professionals, wanted to perform faster queries and avoid data warehouse maintenance. Using Segment’s connector, Doximity made the transition to Snowflake and immediately moved all of their historical data to Snowflake’s cloud-built data warehouse. They estimated a savings of two weeks of engineering time to switch from one data warehouse to another. Doximity also saved months by not having to build an original ETL pipeline for customer data. Doximity can now query all of their aggregated data in a scalable, maintenance-free cloud data warehouse.

“Transitioning from our current data warehouse to Snowflake was simple and painless with Segment. Getting up and running took only a few minutes, and we were able to load all of our historical data in a snap. Snowflake’s fast and scalable architecture lets us query at lightning speed and avoids endless maintenance,” said, Bruno Miranda, VP Engineering, Doximity.
