Corporate finance must change. Across industries, an organization’s Finance team should shed light on what’s happening today with revenue and other financial indicators, while also predicting what the future may hold. And they must do the same for the entire organization. Until recently, it would have been impossible to meet these expectations. Excel-driven forecasting requires herculean efforts to wrangle data and report numbers by the end of each quarter.
During the process of turning data into insights, the most compelling data often comes with an added responsibility—the need to protect the people whose lives are caught up in that data. Plenty of data sets include sensitive information, and it’s the duty of every organization, down to each individual, to ensure that sensitive information is handled appropriately.
According to Harvard Business Review, South Korea is one of the leading countries in the world for technology innovation, and it’s among the top producers of new data.

Over the past two decades, marketers have faced an uphill battle in trying to turn marketing into a fully data-driven discipline. Our challenge is not that we don’t have enough data but that data has been difficult to access and use. Marketing, sales, and product data is scattered across different systems, and we can’t get a complete picture of what is going on in our businesses.
Earlier this year at Snowflake Summit 2021 , we announced Snowpark Accelerated , a new program for partners who integrate with Snowpark. It provides them with access to technical experts and additional exposure to Snowflake customers. It’s been incredibly exciting to watch what our partners have been building with the help of our new developer experience, which brings deeply integrated, DataFrame-style programming to the languages developers like to use.
