A Snowflake Case Study
Environics Analytics, a Toronto-based data and analytics firm serving over 3,000 clients across retail, finance, real estate and government, needed to scale its analytics work and speed product development. Researchers were storing massive datasets locally and sharing outputs via secure FTP, creating confusion, heavy IT involvement, and slow R&D when exploring billions of rows of mobile, demographic, and location data.
Moving to Snowflake’s cloud-built, fully managed data warehouse gave Environics a single, instantly scalable analytics repository with secure data sharing and usage-based pricing. The change eliminated on‑premises hardware and much IT overhead, accelerated data exploration and prototyping, improved time-to-market and profitability, and enabled easier delivery of data products to customers while opening new growth opportunities like near-real-time ingestion and distribution via Snowflake services.
