Data cloud company Snowflake is aiming to tap more Filipino clients after securing a partnership with Globe Telecom Inc. amid the increasing demand for uniform data storage services for enterprises.
Sanjay Deshmukh, Snowflake senior regional vice president for Asean and India, said in a press briefing in Makati City on Tuesday that Philippines and the rest of Southeast Asia were an attractive market for the technology firm given the strong push for companies to go digital.
He explained that enterprises tend to have “multiple silos” for storing different data coming from several departments such as sales, finance and supply management, among others. This makes it difficult for them to see the entire picture of their operations, he added.
The company official, as such, stressed the need for organizations now to have a single modern platform that can consolidate all data obtained from their operations in order to generate insights to provide better services.
“Snowflake has enabled Globe to break down data and technology silos and thrive in a data intensive and competitive environment by generating more insights, moving faster and delivering differentiated products to customers,” Deshmukh said.
Globe has been working on its data modernization program through cloud storage, noting that it has already migrated its enterprise data warehouse to Snowflake’s platform.
The tech company’s data cloud system has allowed Globe to have scalable storage and near real-time data insights.
“Data democratization is data at your fingertips — the ability to access, use and explore data on your own. We want to make decision-making powered by data possible to as many job functions in the least possible time with the least dependency from others,” Globe vice president Dan Natindim said.
“We are expanding our business across Southeast Asia to bring the power of the Snowflake Data Cloud to more organizations. Today, we are thrilled to bring the ability to harness the power of the world’s data to the Philippines,” Deshmukh added.
