There’s a shift taking place, driven by an increase in online consumer behavior, businesses shifting to virtual demand, and technology innovations, that makes the traditional data warehouse – a static data repository – a relic of the past. In its place are data marketplaces like Snowflake, which holds the record for the largest software IPO to date. These data marketplaces break down silos to make data more accessible across teams, business units, and the enterprise as a whole, as well as enable businesses to access a vast volume of data from other companies outside their own perimeters.
