Case Study: Orfium achieves 100% faster idea-to-production and 20% lower query costs with Snowflake

Orfium Scales and Accelerates Its Data Infrastructure To Drive Client Revenue With Snowflake

Orfium, an Athens-based technology company that manages digital music and broadcast rights, faced rising cost, performance, and ingestion challenges as its analytics needs grew. After migrating from PostgreSQL to a cloud warehouse, the environment became complex to manage and threatened to require more engineering headcount; the company needed a scalable, cost-effective platform that would let teams work autonomously while handling vast, disparate datasets that drive accurate royalty and revenue insights.

Orfium adopted Snowflake’s Data Cloud—using serverless compute, Secure Data Sharing, and integrations with Airflow, Airbyte, dbt, S3, Metabase and Tableau—to build a governed data mesh with centralized access controls and dynamic masking. The change cut query costs by 20%, sped idea-to-production by 100%, enabled up to 10x faster report creation (about 250 reports/day), eliminated duplication, and empowered autonomous teams, improving client insights and easing post-acquisition data integration.
