We are excited to announce our official partnership with Snowflake as part of Snowflake’s Data Governance Accelerated Program.
Snowflake’s platform enables organizations to analyze and securely share data throughout the business. Snowflake has embedded governance features to make sure customers know, control, and unlock their data with Snowflake’s platform. With data often siloed and split over various tools, people and entities, data consumers still have trouble to find, understand and trust what is valuable for their business. Enters Castor - an automated and collaborative data governance platform - it brings end-to-end visibility and trust across the data ecosystem.
Snowflake works with Castor to improve the data governance experience. This partnership helps Snowflake customers know where their data is, understand what their data means, identify ownership and have an end-to-end, cross platform bird’s eye view of their data stack.
Now, as part of the Data Governance Accelerated program, we’re announcing two major features for Snowflake: Data Lineage and Snowflake Tag Sync.
For the past twenty years, the challenge around data was to build an infrastructure to store and consume data efficiently and at scale. Producing data has become cheaper and easier over the years with the emergence of cloud data warehouses like Snowflake and transformation tools like dbt. Access to data has been democratized with BI tools like Looker, Tableau, Mode Analytics or Metabase. Now, building dashboards is the new norm in Ops and Marketing team. This gave rise to a new problem: decentralized, untrustworthy & irrelevant data and dashboards.
Even the most data-driven companies still struggle to get value from data - up to 73% of all enterprise data goes unused.
With the increasing number of data resources, defining processes, roles, policies, standards, and metrics on who can use which data, how and when, is almost impossible. That’s why Castor and Snowflake partner.
