Case Study: First Tech Federal Credit Union achieves faster go‑live and simplified Snowflake deployment with erwin Data Modeler by Quest

Credit Union Banks on erwin® Data Modeler by Quest

First Tech Federal Credit Union, a 1,500-employee financial services organization, needed a data modeling solution that supported Snowflake, enabled cross-functional collaboration, and kept models available for query and reporting across business and IT. As a long-term customer of erwin, they required reliable cloud database integration and standardized modeling to make complex data sources understandable and trusted.

erwin Data Modeler was implemented to generate DDL into Snowflake, automate schema engineering and deployment, synchronize models with databases, and serve as the master source for changes; five to seven modelers work on the platform concurrently with no reported scalability or performance issues. The erwin solution reduced project go-live time, improved business alignment and data integrity, simplified Snowflake integration and documentation, and helped analysts write Tableau reports more quickly.
