What an amazing few days at #SnowflakeSummit2024. A huge thank you to all our UK customers and partners that travelled to San Francisco for the week with Snowflake. Also a massive thank you to our amazing Marketing team for putting on yet another tremendous event. It was amazing to see the new announcements and how Snowflake's architecture is revolutionising AI applications; Iceberg tables are now in GA, Polaris Catalog is now available to support open storage architectures and we are adding an Internal Marketplace along with more AI governance to Snowflake Horizon. These were just a few of the many announcements. With our best-in-class enterprise data foundation and its ability to unlock interoperability with open data and internal collaboration we have exciting times ahead as we unlock the power of the "AI Data Cloud". Finally, a huge thank you to all our Snowflakes who consistently drive customer awareness and the art of the possible. A consistent theme of the week was - "Don't let your imagination limit the endless possibilities that Snowflake's AI Data Cloud can deliver to your organisation".

🔍 When #Correlation Meets #Causality: Navigating the GTM Minefield 🔍 In the world of Go-To-Market (#GTM), we often find ourselves enamored with data. It’s like finding patterns in clouds—sometimes what you see is more about imagination than meteorology. Remember, just because two things happen together doesn't mean one caused the other. 🌥️=☔? Not always! For example, just because your ice cream sales spike the same month you launched a new ad campaign doesn't mean your ads are making everyone crave ice cream. Maybe it's just... summer. 🍦😂 But here’s the tricky part: in GTM—a blend of art, science, and social juggling— we are humans, and like everyone else : we love simplicity. 🤷‍♂️ We crave clear, predictable outcomes because, let’s face it, unpredictability can be daunting. Yet, the reality is that #sales, #marketing, and #customersuccess are far from deterministic. The same goes for #economics. It’s crucial to understand that data, while incredibly valuable, isn’t a crystal ball. 🔮 Data points does not equate to pure or applied science. ⛔️ Just because sales spiked in Q2 doesn't mean your new email template was the magical ingredient. Maybe the market was just ripe, or perhaps a competitor stumbled. So, next time you're tempted to declare victory based on correlational data, remember: correlation is not causation. 🚫 It’s insightful, yes, but it's not an ironclad guarantee of why things happen. Don't fall into the trap—it’s a tempting one because we all yearn for control and simplicity in the complex dance of GTM. #GTM #BusinessStrategy #DataDriven #Marketing #SalesStrategy #CustomerSuccess #CorrelationCausation Stay22 #tech #leadership #travel

For those who missed the Snowflake Data Summit keynote; here’s my GeneAI summarization :-) 1) Sridhar the new Snowflake CEO is smart as a pup and amazing academic and career pedigree, but has very little charisma or public speaking skills. Hope he improves on the latter over time. 2) Jensen zoomed in for his Keynote because he is still in Taiwan for Compudex. Jensen has labeled Taiwan the heart of GenAI Compute, all of Nvidia (and AMD)’s major suppliers are in Taiwan. It’s amazing this little island the size of California holds the future to AI. 3) Snowflake and Nvidia announced their partnership. Basically it’s combining Snowflake LLM Datastore with Nvidia LLM training and inference/generate. This is revolutionary. Snowflake pioneered the separation of compute from storage in massive EDWs, and now the circle is completely with bringing Nvidia compute training and inference/generation close to storage, eliminating bandwidth cost, latency and data policy/privacy issues. And as someone with Information Retrieval background, I see GenAI has come full circle with RAG - it’s just Precision/Recall, attributes vectorization as “embedding”, K-Nearest Neighbor, User Search Intent, DAG, ML algorithms, etc all over again. Except this time with supercharged GPU SoC that is improving at 16x Moore’s Law. We live in exciting times.

Your phone buzzes. It’s a message from your CIO that sends a chill down your spine: “We have a #DataBreach on our hands.” In that moment, you face a choice: Be like Bob: Plunge into a chaotic data search, sacrificing your weekend in a frantic quest for that elusive piece of exposed data. Be like DJ: Effortlessly pinpoint the compromised data with just a few clicks using NetApp BlueXP. Crisis averted. Weekend saved. Bob’s story is a cautionary tale of how sticking to manual methods can lead to unnecessary stress and wasted time.

That's why I love BigQuery (BQ), GCP fully managed, AI-ready data analytics platform that helps you maximize value from your data and is designed to be multi-engine, multi-format, and multi-cloud. BQ orchestrate and leverage data distributed into the organizations in order to bring efficiency and capability to use the power of data to turn into insights. Now both BQ + Vertex AI welcome GenAi into this package. Worth to read it, just 5 minutes long. #bq #bqml #vertexai #genai # #gcp #googlecloud #biglake

Peder Ulander's insights in this article about leveraging proprietary data to maximise AI's potential align perfectly with MongoDB's long-standing philosophy that data drives transformation. The success stories of 4149, Arc53, and Lavender 💜 show much more than tech advancement. They are proof of a fundamental reimagination of work processes. These AI-powered solutions are significantly elevating the quality of output and enabling deeper collaboration and friendships within teams. In the APAC region, I see immense potential for AI to bridge cultural and linguistic divides and facilitate seamless global collaboration. Looking forward to many more exciting partnerships here. #MongoDB #GenAI #technology

Incredible what Databricks is becoming with AI in their product. 2024 is the year of Enterprise AI consolidation. The companies that do this the best will be fairly important. I'm watching Nvidia, Cohere, Together AI, Sakana AI, Databricks, Snowflake and many others. The B2B focus is extremely important. How Anthropic will need to generate revenue. How affordable and efficient Anyscale is. The Product strategy of Databricks' AI is super interesting. By Alex Irina Sandu Check out my AI Newsletter for deep dives like this one:
