Partnership
Our partnership with Snowflake
SNP Glue drastically reduces the latency of SAP data integration with the Snowflake Data Cloud to accelerate data availability within Snowflake to leverage against insights, applications, and innovations. By developing an optimized native connection to Snowflake for SAP data integration, data from SAP can be used immediately in the data cloud by harnessing the new Data Streaming for SAP – Snowflake Native Application. Through this partnership, we are providing customers with an ecosystem that helps them realize the value of SAP data within the Snowflake Data Cloud and the value that our joint innovation unlocks.
Live demo from the Snowflake HQs in San Mateo:
Ben Deaver sits down with "Powered by Snowflake" host Felipe Hoffa to demonstrate SNP Glue Connector for SAP, a Snowflake Native Application. Its purpose is to push data to Snowflake from the SAP NetWeaver stack via the Snowpipe Streaming API. Automating the process of seamless and cost-effective data integration in Snowflake.
One of our most popular customer requests has been better connectivity between SAP and Snowflake, making it easier for users to run analytics with SAP data in their Snowflake environment. SNP’s extensive SAP data expertise, combined with their proven SNP Glue solution, proved to be a natural fit for building a deeper integration. In fact, many customers are already leveraging SNP Glue for SAP data integration to Snowflake today. We are excited about our partnership with SNP around SNP Glue and Data Streaming for SAP, a Snowflake Native App in the Data Cloud, and the benefits it will bring to our SAP customers.

Benefits
Why SNP Glue together with Snowflake?
Snowflake is a Data Cloud that has been adopted by a majority of the Fortune 1000 companies. Many of these companies also run SAP as their back-end system. Snowflake was seeking a partner that specialized in integrating SAP data and looked at SNP as a leader in the SAP data space. Out of the box, SNP Glue provided an elegant solution for SAP data integration to Snowflake. Many global companies had already benefited from SNP Glue reliably integrating SAP data with the Snowflake Data Cloud. Snowflake provides this platform and access to state-of-the-art tools, making us a perfect fit. Following an intense discussion on a better way to integrate SAP data into the Data Cloud and to help Snowflake achieve the SAP workload that every modern and intelligent use case requires, we focused on the joint development of SNP Glue. The aim was to not only reduce the latency of the data flow from SAP to Snowflake, but also to make the data instantly available for insights, applications and AI/ML engines as soon as it is in Snowflake, taking the partnership to a new level. The native app now available in Snowflake Marketplace provides a GUI interface for Snowflake to connect to the SNP App layer that captures the SAP data which then allows it to use Snowflake as the replication target to incrementally replicate your data.
