Erwin partners with Snowflake to accelerate cloud migration
The companies announced a new partnership to help enterprises accelerate cloud migration, as well as ensure proper data governance for those projects.
“Snowflake customers want to quickly and safely move the data from their legacy systems to our cloud data platform while ensuring the quality and overall governance of that data,” said Kent Graziano, the chief technical evangelist at Snowflake. “erwin enables faster and easier cloud migrations into Snowflake, by providing complete data lineage with documentation through automated, repeatable processes.

The native erwin integration lets customers automate the creation of Snowflake-specific data models and the erwin Data Connector for Snowflake automatically scans and ingests metadata from Snowflake platforms into erwin DI.
