Snowflake has expanded its partnership with AWS.
The data warehouse company intends to increase its AWS spend and pitch in on product development, integration, and sales and marketing collaboration. Meanwhile, both Snowflake and AWS will pour millions of dollars into go-to-market strategies. Snowflake alone will contribute $2.5 billion.
The vendors will team up for another five years. They’ve worked together for three years. Those efforts have “created what we believe may be one of the most successful technology co-sell partnerships in cloud computing,” Frank Slootman, chairman and CEO of Snowflake, said.
Adam Selipsky, CEO of AWS, agreed.
“Data is at the center of every application, process and business decision, and is the cornerstone of digital transformation,” he said. “Working alongside Snowflake, we are unlocking new value for thousands of customers around the world and helping them maximize their data investments.”
