Snowflake: Your Cloud Data Platform for Data Engineering & Data Science

According to Forbes, data scientists spend up to 80% of their time finding, retrieving, consolidating, cleaning, and preparing data for analysis and training.

With Snowflake, you can access structured and semi-structured data from one consistent source, making it easy to find, consolidate, clean and use more of your organization’s data assets. Snowflake’s Cloud Data Platform includes tools to manage data ingestion and automated transformation workloads within the system, supporting data preparation for data science and analytics applications. Output from data science can then be seamlessly incorporated back into Snowflake for access by business users to generate business value.

Join us on April 29^th for a live webinar! You’ll hear from Snowflake experts on the dynamic requirements of today’s data science initiatives and how to use industry leading tools with Snowflake’s Cloud Data Platform to satisfy them.
