Case Study: Arcesium achieves direct, secure, real-time access to millions of financial data points with Snowflake Secure Data Sharing

Accessing Millions of Financial Data Points Using Snowflake Secure Data Sharing

Arcesium, a New York–based global fintech and professional services firm supporting more than $465 billion in assets, processes millions of trades daily for hedge funds, banks, and asset managers. Its challenge was that clients could not query real-time data directly in Arcesium’s AWS-hosted platform and instead had to download data via APIs and manage local persistence, which created friction for reporting, analytics, and freshness.

Arcesium built its Data Warehouse on Snowflake and uses Snowflake Secure Data Sharing to publish live datasets as a queryable database, eliminating much of the client-side ETL and connectivity work. The change delivered same-day turnaround for data availability, halved failure points in integrations, cut ETL steps by 75%, expanded Arcesium’s product suite and revenue opportunities, and set the stage for broader Snowflake use and participation in the Snowflake Data Marketplace.
