“Helping our customers get up and running quickly and easily on Snowflake is key to them becoming data-driven organizations,” Snowflake’s VP of Product, Christian Kleinerman said. “As part of that, Partner Connect enables the fewest steps required for customers to load their data and get insight from that data within minutes.”
Partner Connect is currently available with Snowflake data integration partners Fivetran, Alooma and Stitch. The feature is available to all Snowflake customers but specifically accelerates the onboarding of self-service customers who sign up online for Snowflake.
Partner Connect creates a free trial account with the chosen data integration partner and automatically configures the Snowflake connection to enable immediate data loading into Snowflake’s cloud-built data warehouse. This enables customers to avoid the manual work associated with creating databases and warehouses, and separately provisioning and configuring a partner application. With Partner Connect, customers can get to their data immediately and accelerate time-to-insight.
The program will continue to expand to include additional data integration partners and other partner types, such as business intelligence, advanced analytics (ML/AI), security and other technology solution providers.
