Case Study: Talend achieves a single source of truth and 20% faster insights with Snowflake

Accelerating Data Governance and Analysis with Snowflake

Talend, a Redwood City–based software company that provides cloud data integration to more than 3,000 enterprises, faced fragmented analytics: spreadsheets and departmental silos left no single source of truth. Their prior data warehouse demanded constant tuning and monitoring—developers spent roughly 75% of their time on performance issues—and it lacked robust support for semi-structured JSON/XML data, which slowed analytics and integration of new sources.

By moving to Snowflake, integrated with Talend Cloud, Talend created a near-zero‑maintenance, secure data warehouse with native semi-structured support and easy capacity scaling, delivering a unified analytics repository within weeks. The change cut report-building time by 25%, accelerated time to insights by 20%, consolidated data from Salesforce, NetSuite, SAP, Datadog, Pendo and more into one Tableau dashboard, produced significant cost savings, and set the stage for predictive analytics and stronger data governance.
