A Snowflake Case Study
Overstock.com, an online retailer of excess brand-name home goods serving 35 million visitors, needed to deliver 4 million products per month but was held back by fragmented legacy data warehouses, Hadoop and disparate analytics tools. Slow deployments, heavy cross-team coordination and separate systems for data scientists and analysts prevented a single source of truth and delayed answers to crucial business questions by weeks.
Migrating to Snowflake consolidated data into a single shared platform, letting every team access one source of truth and scale compute on demand. Query and model-deployment times fell to days, hours or minutes; Snowflake Data Sharing lets partners securely use customer insights, and Snowpipe plus elastic compute simplified data ingestion and cluster provisioning, improving collaboration and agility.
