A Practical Guide to Using Data Sharing for Operational Collaboration
According to Gartner Research, companies can lose up to 30% in revenue annually due to inefficiencies resulting from incorrect or siloed data. Snowflake provides organizations with the tool set to break down silos by expanding internal collaboration, centralizing data from enterprise applications, running apps directly on data – without data movement or copy – as well as unlocking collaboration across customers, vendors and business partners. In this session, we’ll dive into how customers are realizing more value from their data through collaboration, and how even nontechnical users can discover the content made available to them across the Data Cloud through LLM-powered search.
