As more organizations shift their resources from on-premises to cloud infrastructures, they must deal with the added complexities of technologies like artificial intelligence. To do so, many organizations are relying on solutions to ease the transition.

Industry disruptor Snowflake Inc. is answering the call. The company is tapping its ecosystem of partners to help the enterprise break down data silos.

“Snowflake brings to the table an opportunity for them to take all of their data and move it from one cloud to the other,” said Chris Degnan (pictured, right), chief revenue officer of Snowflake. “It can sit on AWS, it can sit on Azure, it can sit on GCP, and it can move around from cloud to cloud. And they can do analytics on top of that.”

Degnan and Sunil Senan (pictured, left), senior vice president and business head for data and analytics at Infosys Technologies Ltd., spoke with theCUBE industry analysts Dave Vellante and Lisa Martin at Snowflake Summit, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio. They discussed the digital transformation challenges Infosys’ customers face and Snowflake’s role in helping to solve them. (* Disclosure below.)

Tech partnerships driving outcomes

Infosys is a global leader in business consulting, software services and outsourcing. In addition to data being volatile material to manage, the company’s customers have to grapple with other challenges, such as legacy debt, technical skill deficits, and a fragmented data landscape created over time, according to Senan.

These customer-side challenges are raising issues that Infosys, in partnership with Snowflake, is answering.

“How do you put all these together and work with a specific outcome in mind, so that you’re not doing transformation for its own sake, but to drive new business models, new data-driven products and services, and to collaborate with your partners and create a unique competitive advantage in the market?” Senan asked.

One of the shining examples of the partnership’s impact has been the retail niche, with The Kraft Heinz Co. being a joint customer, according to Degnan.

“With Snowflake’s data sharing, Albertsons shares data directly with Kraft Heinz, and Kraft Heinz can actually make supply chain decisions in real time,” he said. “So these are some of the things that Infosys and Snowflake help our customers solve.”
