As organisations accelerate their cloud migration strategies to manage growing volumes of structured and unstructured data, demand is rising for secure, real-time, cloud-native access to trusted datasets.
Leveraging Snowflake and Databricks Delta Sharing, S&P Global provides a scalable, agile foundation that allows organizations to directly access and query S&P Global and curated third-party datasets without complex ingestion pipelines or infrastructure setup.
This approach enables seamless, governed access across clients’ preferred cloud environments, helping organizations accelerate innovation, reduce operational complexity, and derive value more efficiently from their data.
Data Management Insight spoke to the S&P Global team to explore how this collaboration is simplifying the process of sharing data between organizations while ensuring security and privacy.
