Snowflake: cloud data warehouse for analytics and AI

Snowflake offers businesses real-time analytics, secure data sharing, and AI capabilities without the infrastructure headaches.

As a certified Snowflake partner, we help UK businesses migrate legacy warehouses, optimise costs, and build AI-ready data foundations.

What is Snowflake?

Snowflake is a cloud data warehouse that handles analytics, data sharing, and AI in one platform. Unlike traditional warehouses, it separates storage from processing so you can scale each independently and only pay for what you use.

✅ It runs on any cloud: AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud - your choice

✅ Share data instantly: give your team access to live data without copying files

✅ Built-in AI: Cortex AI for machine learning and document search - no separate tools needed

✅ Connect any data source: 750+ ready-made connectors for databases, apps, and files

✅ Faster queries: Gen 2 warehouses run 2.1× faster at the same price

When to use Snowflake:

Snowflake makes sense if:

Your current data warehouse can't keep up with growth, or multiple teams need secure access to the same data without building complex integrations.

You're spending more time maintaining legacy systems than getting value from them, or you need real-time insights rather than overnight batch reports.

You're building AI applications and need all your data in one place, or you're tired of unpredictable infrastructure bills.

  • I actually feel like Qlik is my baby at Pizza Express. I had emails from the CEO and others praising how it helps them see sales immediately and fix issues today rather than learning tomorrow. It’s helping the company make money and making people’s working lives better in restaurants, which are core to the business.

It varies significantly based on complexity and data sources. We provide realistic timelines during initial assessment. PizzaExpress completed their cloud migration in under 4 weeks. Anglia Ruskin built and deployed their application in one month.

How much does Qlik cost?

Pricing varies by deployment type (cloud vs on-premise), products used (analytics, integration, AI), and user count. We provide transparent cost estimates including implementation during your consultation call.

Can we migrate from Power BI or Tableau?

Yes. We've done dozens. Typical migration: 2-4 months including training and support.

Does Qlik work with Snowflake or Databricks?

Yes. Qlik sits on top and adds analytics and business user access. Many customers use both, and we can support with all of them.

Do we need technical skills?

Business users build dashboards with drag-and-drop. Data integration needs technical skills. We offer training no matter who uses Qlik.
