CASE STUDY and data in the hands of our client-facing teams that own those problems .
Our client-facing teams were keen to track our customers ’ long-term improvements using more operational data that we have stored in disparate data systems . Now , our teams have developed standardised data models for common use cases . They can use these models in a self-serve ad hoc analysis and simple BI use cases , unlocking the power of the data that we have .
We are excited to bring together the best data sets in the surface mining market . There is a wealth of untapped potential in making informed decisions backed by high-quality evidence . By leveraging a data cloud solution , we can solve problems at scale with greater speed and flexibility .
How were the technical aspects of those advantages communicated to MaxMine ’ s operational teams ?
We use Snowflake Data Cloud as a core part of our product offering to enable long-period analysis of our rich operational mining datasets . With the help of convenient plug-ins , we unlock the full power of the BI tools we use , both for our product development and client-facing teams .
From a technical perspective , our engineers work seamlessly with the technology which equips us to build an impressive data capability with a relatively small engineering team . Snowflake has been really easy to work with , which eliminated the need for an additional ‘ systems integration ’ team to facilitate our transition to using Snowflake .
What positives can be taken from working with the Snowflake team towards the transition ?
The Snowflake team has been very supportive of helping us get up and going with their product . Snowflake ’ s technical sales and account management team has been super proactive in helping MaxMine with the technical implementation of solutions and connecting us with other people working around their data ecosystem . When selecting Snowflake , you aren ’ t only integrating their technology but also buying into an ecosystem that works together to solve your end-to-end problems . p
