“We are excited to continue strengthening our ongoing collaborative relationship with Snowflake,” said Pratik Parekh, SVP Product Development for Informatica. “At Snowflake Summit last year, we unveiled Informatica Superpipe for Snowflake, revolutionizing the industry with 3.5x faster data integration and replication. This year, we're continuing the momentum by unveiling our latest innovations, aimed at making it easier than ever for customers to access fast, secure and reliable data in Snowflake and leveraging the new Cortex AI features.”
New capabilities include:
Native SQL ELT for Cortex AI Functions now supports new GenAI capabilities following the recent launch of Native SQL ELT for Snowflake at Informatica’s recent conference, Informatica World.
