Why Snowflake

One data platform instead of many silos

Snowflake separates storage and compute and scales both independently – you only pay for what you actually use. Data warehouse, data lake and data sharing run on one shared platform without your own infrastructure.

What matters for success, however, is not the platform alone but how data gets in and how it is modelled. As a Snowflake Select Partner, we combine both in our Snowflake consulting: clean data integration – for example with Qlik Talend – and traceable models such as Data Vault 2.0.

Use cases

What organisations use our Snowflake consulting for

SAP data in the cloud

Bring data from SAP S/4HANA, SAP BW and other systems into Snowflake in a structured way – incrementally and traceably.

Automated data integration

Automate loading pipelines with Qlik Talend and Snowflake features such as Snowpipe, streams and tasks – up to change data capture.

Data Vault modelling

Historised, auditable data models with Data Vault 2.0 – as a solid basis for reporting and analytics.

DWH migration

Move existing on-premises DWHs or SAP BW to Snowflake step by step – with a clear migration path.

Governance and security

Role-based access, row access policies and tagging – so that sensitive data stays protected and requirements are met.

Analytics and AI

Make data in Snowflake usable for analytics and AI – for example with Snowflake Cortex or connected BI tools such as Qlik.

Choosing a platform

Snowflake or Databricks?

Both platforms are strong – but for different priorities. We advise independently of any vendor and choose with you what fits your requirements, your team and your budget.

Snowflake

Strong as a central data warehouse with SQL at its core – low operating effort, clear cost control, easy data sharing.

Databricks

Strong in data engineering, machine learning and lakehouse architectures – with more design freedom and more responsibility in the team.

Our role

We assess requirements, costs and operating model and plan an architecture that fits your data strategy – independently of any vendor.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Snowflake consulting

Snowflake consulting supports you from architecture through data integration and modelling to operations. The goal is a data platform that delivers reliable data and keeps costs predictable.

Snowflake is particularly well suited as a central data warehouse with SQL at its core and low operating effort. Databricks plays to its strengths in data engineering, machine learning and lakehouse architectures. We assess both options independently of any vendor for your use case – more in our article.

SAP data can be loaded into Snowflake in a structured, incremental way using integration tools such as Qlik Talend. A clean data model and alignment with your SAP landscape are key.

Snowflake stores and processes data; integrating the source systems is a separate task. As a Qlik Elite Partner, we often use Qlik Talend for this – complemented by Snowflake features such as Snowpipe, streams and tasks. More on our data integration.

Snowflake charges based on usage. Costs can be well controlled – for example through suitable warehouse sizes, auto-suspend and ongoing cost monitoring. We plan for this from the start.

Ideally with a specific use case, such as a data source or a report that is too slow or too laborious today. In an initial consultation, we clarify sources, goals and the right approach.
