By building data.world’s usage reporting product on Snowflake we can ensure that our shared customers have quick, easy access and understanding of the data that helps them make the right decisions.”

“We look forward to seeing Snowflake customers benefit from data.world’s knowledge graph, which offers flexibility and scale when cataloging data,” said Scott Schilling, Director, Data Sharing Alliances at Snowflake. “Together with Snowflake usage and reporting metrics, data.world gives companies great insight into how data is used for business decisions and where processes can be improved to maximize returns.”
