U.S. Firms Choose Snowflake Ecosystem as Data Needs Grow
Management platform lets companies consolidate data to meet AI, analytics, governance goals, ISG Provider Lens™ report says
Enterprises in the U.S. are adopting the Snowflake cloud data management platform to prepare for the data challenges posed by AI adoption, hybrid work and other trends, according to a new research report published today by Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm.
The 2025 ISG Provider Lens™ Snowflake Ecosystem Partners report for the U.S. finds that data management requirements are rapidly changing as organizations move to the cloud, use advanced analytics and seek more data-driven decision-making. The Snowflake platform and related services from Snowflake ecosystem partners enable companies to consolidate diverse sets of data, eliminating silos and improving data access and sharing.
"U.S. companies need to act on data more quickly than ever to stay ahead of macroeconomic challenges like tariffs and supply chain issues," said Steve Hall, president and chief AI officer at ISG. "To automate processes and make better use of AI, they are seeking effective data management tools and qualified partners to implement them."
Surging awareness and adoption of GenAI in the U.S. is forcing enterprises to improve data governance and acquire a strong data foundation that supports structured, semi-structured and unstructured data, the report says. GenAI deployments heighten concerns about data scale, security, privacy and accuracy as companies seek compliance with internal policies and regulations. With help from service providers, many are using Snowflake to simplify management of complex data environments.
State, federal and international data protection laws increase pressure on U.S. companies to make data handling compliant and transparent, creating still more demand for improved data management, ISG says. Organizations also need to consolidate and share data to track progress toward sustainability goals. Ensuring compliance across multiple jurisdictions often requires AI-enabled insights, another initiative that drives demand for effective, unified data management.
As companies in the U.S. continue to accommodate hybrid work modes to improve employee experience, productivity and retention, they are adopting cloud data management platforms like Snowflake for data access and sharing across distributed teams, the report says. Service providers are also helping enterprises use Snowflake's data-sharing capabilities and marketplace of data, apps and agentic products to create new revenue streams.
Many U.S. organizations are adopting Snowflake as they move from inflexible data warehouses to elastic cloud-based environments for resilience and cost optimization, ISG says. This often involves hybrid, multicloud Snowflake architectures that span AWS, Azure and Google Cloud Platform. Though Snowflake's platform is cloud-agnostic and fully managed, enterprises are engaging service providers to navigate the complexities of compliance, workload portability and business continuity throughout this transition.
"Migration from on-premises storage to multicloud data architectures is a huge leap," said Michael Barnes, author of the report. "Leading providers can help enterprises adopt Snowflake as a single data platform and address related challenges without adding infrastructure overhead."
The report also explores other Snowflake ecosystem trends affecting U.S. enterprises, including growing demand for cloud cost management, real-time data processing and edge computing.
