SAN MATEO, Calif., Jan. 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Snowflake
Computing, the only data warehouse built for the cloud, and
MicroStrategy® Incorporated (Nasdaq: MSTR), a leading worldwide
provider of enterprise analytics and mobility software, today
announced a technology partnership to serve joint customers with a
flexible and highly scalable cloud-built data warehouse, with
modern business intelligence and predictive analytics applications.
Together, Snowflake and MicroStrategy help customers take full
advantage of the cloud and modern, sophisticated analytics to get
fast answers to their toughest data questions.
The integration of MicroStrategy and Snowflake unifies data
across the enterprise, giving customers a single version of the
truth. The power, simplicity and high scalability of Snowflake
takes the complexity out of fast, easy access to massive amounts of
structured and semi-structured enterprise data, empowering business
analysts to make data-driven decisions in less time.
Sharethrough, a leading provider of native advertising software
for publishers and a joint Snowflake/MicroStrategy customer, has
streamlined and simplified its analytics pipeline and made data
more accessible to users making critical business decisions. In the
past, queries that took more than a weekend now take 30 seconds.
Reports that ran in 45 minutes now take a few seconds, requiring
the work of just one business professional.
"Getting data for analysis was an extremely complex and
time-consuming process for us, requiring hours to run a single
report and forcing our business users to understand the underlying
schema of our data warehouse," Sharethrough's senior staff
engineer, David Abercrombie said.
"We moved our core warehouse to the cloud with Snowflake and
brought in MicroStrategy to make data easy to consume for
nontechnical business users. We're now running large reports in
less than four seconds and our analysts can make better decisions
based on much richer data."
MicroStrategy CEO Michael J.
Saylor said: "MicroStrategy's collaboration with Snowflake's
cloud-built data warehouse brings clarity and insight to large
volumes of data. Together, we're helping customers turn that data
into a tremendous competitive advantage."
Because Snowflake is native to the cloud, it enables
organizations to focus on using their data instead of managing
infrastructure. Analysts get direct access to data without
sacrificing flexibility, security or performance.
"MicroStrategy and Snowflake share a vision of breaking down
barriers that once barred companies from enabling all of their data
by all of their business users," Snowflake CEO, Bob Muglia said. "The combination of Snowflake
and MicroStrategy removes those barriers for any company of any
size, including the largest enterprises that need to analyze
massive amounts of data."
At MicroStrategy World 2018 in Las
Vegas, Sharethrough's David
Abercrombie will lead a live session about how Snowflake's
built-for-the-cloud data warehouse and MicroStrategy's platform
provide business users with real-time access to complex data for
rapid analysis and decision-making. Join the session on
January 16 at 2:15 p.m. For more details and to register, visit
