Snowflake helps users centralize, integrate, and analyze disparate data sources in the cloud for faster and more cost-effective decision-making. FactSet’s strategic relationship with Snowflake means clients will be able to leverage FactSet seamlessly and efficiently alongside additional content already hosted on the platform. This availability will provide clients with immediate and secure access to data for evaluation and testing, eliminating the need for the extract, transform, and load (ETL) process.
“FactSet offering its data through Snowflake reduces the time and effort it takes to integrate new datasets into our investment process,” said Pete Petersen, Chief Technology Officer of Causeway Capital Management. “Everyone in the industry is searching for ways to make further efficiency gains. Aggregating our entire range of data sources in Snowflake means we can ensure consistent and transparent data integrity across every department and job function without having to manually update or upload content. This is a key component of our data capability model.”
Snowflake’s architecture separates data computation from storage, giving users the ability to quickly and easily scale their resources for unlimited concurrent users. The platform delivers governed access to all content across the three major cloud providers and serves as an integrated environment where clients can build data applications in a cost- and time efficient way.
