🚀 Learning by competing is one of our ways to grow at InfiniteDATA Services. 🏆 Yesterday we had an opportunity to participate in Gen AI and LLM Escape Room hackathon organized by our partner Snowflake. Our team took up the challenge and after a whole day of solving business problems using Snowflake technology we won the hackathon! ❄️ To give you a taste of what was going on, we used Snowflake AI Data Cloud to go through 3 scenarios for a retail customer, Tasty Bytes. From analyzing customer feedback in real time to increase customer satisfaction and quickly react to negative sentiment, to analyzing financial reports (unstructured data) from competitors to find opportunities to win more market share, to enabling the client's operations team to query inventory and order data using natural language. All of this was accompanied by a business presentation for C-level stakeholders. Well, that was actually what we do every day at InfiniteDATA Services - we use technology to accelerate the value of data for our customers. 🙏🏻 Thank you Tomasz Mazurek and Omer Mizrachi for inviting us to this great initiative! 👏🏻 Respect for colleagues from Sii Poland, Datumo and dataconsulting.pl for a close competition. ❤️ And of course, huge thanks to my teammates - Konrad Michael, Michael Golos and Jarosław Szeja. You guys simply rock! #Snowflake #Retail #Hackathon #GenAI #analytics

I WANT EVERYTHING... BUT KEEP IT SIMPLE. 💡 Heading into my 5th year at Snowflake and fully immersed in the AI wave that’s transforming the industry, I continue to be amazed by how our product team seamlessly balances our customers' desire for all the latest capabilities—especially those related to Generative AI 🤖—while maintaining the "easy to use" customer experience that made us stand out. It’s really not that simple. When I think about some of my customers' legacy architectures, there's a familiar pattern: everyone wants simplicity, but as new use cases emerge and new data formats appear, it starts to feel like a "noisy neighborhood" where new projects are delayed due to conflicts with existing ones. Marketing, Finance, Data Scientists, Sales, Corporate… Everyone wants access to their data, and they want to work with it their own way—from the most sophisticated users to those who need the data served up in the simplest format possible. And this is what I love about Snowflake ❄️. It's one platform. No extra licenses, no fragmented services to integrate. Everything is accessible in one place, always aligned with the value our customers are gaining from their use cases. The data sits in a single source, ready to be consumed by any department or role, whether it’s a startup, a cloud-native company, or a major corporation. It’s hard not to fall in love with such a powerful product. But sometimes, that’s the challenge. Keeping up with all the new product releases and use cases that are being unlocked can be overwhelming. That’s why we’re dedicating time and effort to bring all these product updates together in a single-day event, along with use cases shared by some of our top customers in the region. Join us in Madrid the next #October24th to check out last product capabilities, real time demos and our top in class customer success cases. #SnowflakeForumMadrid ❄️ Register your self here: https://lnkd.in/daTirdev Date: 24 de Octubre 📅 Place: Kinépolis Diversia Madrid 📍 🇪🇸 #AIRevolution #GenerativeAI #DataPlatform #SnowflakeForum #TechInnovation #CloudComputing #BigData #MadridEvent #DigitalTransformation #Snowflake #DataDriven

🚀 Our Data & Tech grads had an incredible time at the Snowflake World Tour! The event was a perfect blend of insightful talks, hands-on learning, and plenty of fun. Here’s what two of our grads had to say: “I recently attended the Snowflake World Tour, where I learned about cutting-edge AI advancements. I found Deliveroo's talk about combining Snowflake's Streamlit and Gen-AI to create their 'Dark Knight' and EDF's use of the platform to aid their goal of reaching net zero, to be fascinating. The event featured insightful breakout sessions, networking opportunities with peers and experts, and plenty of fun. I even won a teddy bear and had a once-in-a-lifetime chance to ride a zipline indoors.” — Bhagya Wanni Arachchige “I had a great day at the Snowflake World Tour, where I gained valuable knowledge about the latest innovations in our field and beyond. I also had the opportunity to connect with representatives from software products we actively use in our team. The talks by our colleagues at EDF provided an insight into how we present ourselves to the broader professional community. As a bonus, I even found myself on a zipline—definitely not something I expected at a tech event!” — Stella Hadfield We were especially proud to see our own Martin Aylward, Head of Data & Tech at EDF Energy, share his expertise during the session on "Using Data to Achieve Net Zero & Help Vulnerable Customers." Martin discussed EDF's efforts in building an AWS/Snowflake Data Platform and highlighted impactful use cases that are helping Britain achieve net zero while supporting vulnerable customers. 🌍💡 The day wasn’t just about technology—it was also about connecting with peers and gaining fresh perspectives on how data is driving change across industries. From exploring AI innovations, like Snowflake's Streamlit and Gen-AI, to experiencing unique activities (ziplining indoors!), our grads walked away with new ideas and enthusiasm to apply what they learned. We're excited to bring these learnings back to our work as we continue to support the mission of achieving net zero and making a positive impact. #SnowflakeWorldTour #DataInnovation #NetZero #AI #DataAndTech #AWS #GenAI #Snowflake

Last Tuesday morning I was lucky to join Snowflake's Data for Breakfast event in Berlin at Alte Turnhalle. The great venue aside, it was an exclusive journey into the heart of data innovation with Snowflake! Here is what I learned: 🔍 Explored the Power of AI in Seconds: Dove into a real-world case with Snowflake Cortex and discovered how sentiment analysis can revolutionize data insights. Plus even got a sneak peak into their German Language model capabilities! 🎉 Customer Spotlight: Experience firsthand the remarkable journeys of industry leaders like TUI and Auxmoney as they unveiled their transformations migrating to Snowflake. Learned how they navigated complex data landscapes and championed a new era of data excellence in their companies. 🔑 Unlocked Data Strategy: Learned even more about principles for crafting a robust data strategy that fuels AI, ML, and app innovation at the Partner Expo. Discovered how the Snowflake Data Cloud eliminates data silos even easier, empowers teams with elastic compute resources, and makes data governance simple. 🚀 And last but not least - connected and exchanged with many data heads from Berlin!

From San Francisco to Milan, innovations, ideas, and a passion for data travel fast - especially when shared in a great meetup! 🚀 😍 I had a fantastic time attending the meetup organized by the Snowflake Italia User Group and participating in the discussion panel to revisit the #DataCloudSummit experience. The conversation was insightful and full of great ideas. As I mentioned during the panel, I was particularly impressed by Snowflake's advancements in data governance and the introduction of features aimed at enhancing the efficiency for data engineers. On the relationship between data and AI, I've shared my perspective: data and AI are two sides of the same coin, but it’s the data that gives value to the whole. This vision is clearly reflected in Snowflake's approach, with numerous innovations in data management stemming from the summit, not just in AI.
