GlobalData Partners With Snowflake to Empower Seamless Access and Delivery
of Its Data
GlobalData’s Marketplace is now accessible via Snowflake’s cloud data
platform, empowering seamless access and direct integration of GlobalData’s
intelligence into customer applications and data operations.
GlobalData Plc (LSE: DATA), a leading intelligence platform for the world’s
largest industries, has announced a partnership with Snowflake, a premier data
warehouse built for the cloud, to enable Snowflake customers to access and
purchase data from GlobalData’s Marketplace via the Snowflake platform.
In today’s business environment, the need for trustworthy and timely data has
never been more important, which is why it’s critical for tomorrow’s market
leaders to access, share, and use data instantly and seamlessly.
GlobalData’s strategic relationship with Snowflake means customers will have a
flexible cloud solution for accessing proven, proprietary datasets
efficiently. This will provide customers with immediate and secure access to
data, eliminating the need for lengthy and costly extract, transform, and load
(ETL) processes; and reduce the time and effort needed to integrate data into
their business operations and decision-making processes at scale.
Initially, GlobalData will provide access to six authoritative datasets via
the Snowflake platform, covering pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and climate
risk, as well as alternative datasets spanning patents and job analytics. New
datasets will be added over time from GlobalData's Marketplace, which covers
150 productized datasets relied upon by over 4,000 customers.
Commenting on the announcement, Jonathan Hardinges, GlobalData’s Chief
Strategy Officer, said:
“GlobalData continues to provide best-in-class data and insights to help our
clients solve complex business problems, and Snowflake offers us the
opportunity to provide customers with more efficient access to authoritative
data and greater value from its use at scale.
“We are particularly excited to partner with Snowflake, as this will help us
deliver against our customer-obsession agenda by giving customers the
flexibility to access and use our intelligence where, when, and how they need
to.”
Kieran Kennedy, Head of Marketplace at Snowflake, added:
“GlobalData and Snowflake combine to make a powerful solution for any
organization seeking to leverage the power of data sharing. With the ability
for customers to access GlobalData’s broad data coverage, this marks an
exciting and welcome next step in further expanding the coverage of
Snowflake’s Data Marketplace.”
