BECOME THE CHAMPION

OF YOUR DATA

CONNECT, COLLABORATE, AND ACHIEVE WITH DATA

Hundreds of millions of data sets globally remain siloed in SaaS applications, cloud data storage, and on-premises data centers. This decades-old issue prevents organizations from getting all the value from all their data.

The Data Cloud eliminates the barriers created by siloed data. It is an ecosystem of thousands of organizations connecting to their data, and connecting to each other, by seamlessly sharing and consuming data and data services in live, governed, and secure ways. The technology that unites this ecosystem and enables the Data Cloud is Snowflake’s Cloud Data Platform.

Our expert-led courses will show how the Data Cloud enables you to get the most from your data, including how your organization can deploy several analytic workloads across different clouds and regions.

Champion the Data Cloud in your organization with any of the Data Cloud Academy’s three free instructional tracks presented by Snowflake experts, customers, and partners:

Why Data Quality and Data Governance are More Relevant in the Data Cloud

Length: 16 Minutes Data governance is no longer confined to satisfying specific regulations, nor is it something only small teams or specific industries need to be concerned about. Intelligent data governance drives business value creation. Data is the underpinning requirement for companies to increase competitiveness, and data governance is the process and methodology that allows companies to ensure their data is trustworthy, of the highest possible quality, and well understood. Data quality and data governance improve business processes and decision-making across the entire enterprise so organizations can create greater collaboration, reduce costs, find relevant data assets more efficiently, and build trust and compliance.
