Case Study: Intergamma achieves near-instant query performance with Google Cloud Platform

Intergamma Increasing performance by 99.99% in one try with Google Cloud

Intergamma, the largest DIY retailer in Benelux, needed better control over its “black box” analytics environment. Its on-premises Netezza data warehouse and ETL processes were managed by a partner, forcing analysts to rely on day-old reports instead of querying data directly. Intergamma turned to Google Cloud Platform, using Snowflake on Google Cloud along with services like Cloud Storage and Cloud Data Fusion.

Google Cloud Platform helped Intergamma migrate Netezza to Snowflake on Google Cloud in a phased lift-and-shift, while simplifying infrastructure and enabling live querying. The results were dramatic: query time dropped from 1.5 hours to 0.8 seconds, a 99.99% reduction, and the team gained better scalability, more efficient ETL, and self-service analytics for future omnichannel growth.
