Case Study: Aflac Global Investments achieves near‑real‑time investment analysis and 50% cost savings with Snowflake

Aflac Global Investments Uses Snowflake To Speed Up Investments Analysis

Aflac Global Investments, based in New York, faced growing compliance and performance demands as its investment teams ran models that produced about 300 million data points per run. Their legacy analytics environment forced them to keep only a handful of scenario results and model runs took between one and seven hours, slowing decision-making and time to market.

By migrating to Snowflake’s Data Cloud on AWS, Aflac GI reduced model run times to about 12 minutes while capturing all results, supports up to 8,000 concurrent processes, and built a Snowflake data lake as a single source of truth. The move also cut database software and infrastructure costs by roughly 50%, improved global support and scalability, and enabled faster, data-driven investment decisions.
