Edinburgh-based digital transformation consultancy, Infinity Works, is celebrating after being awarded the highest possible partner status by Silicon Valley’s greatest rising public tech star, Snowflake.
Infinity Works, which employs 17 in Edinburgh, has become the UK and Ireland’s first services partner to be awarded Elite Partner status with Snowflake, the data cloud platform, which recently completed the world’s largest software IPO.
The achievement recognises Infinity Works’ expertise in moving businesses from legacy databases to "agile and cost-effective cloud data platforms that deliver strategic business value", it said.
Infinity Works also said it has supported some of the UK’s most valuable brands to migrate to a cloud data platform, including working on some of Europe’s largest Snowflake deployments.
Projects have included helping a FTSE 100 retailer improve supply chain efficiencies, assisting the UK government with its Covid-19 response, and enabling gaming companies to deliver personalisation.
The Elite Partner status is the latest milestone in a growing strategic partnership and follows on from this year’s news that Infinity Works was named as Smowflake's Emerging SI partner of the Year 2020.
James Morgan, commercial director at Infinity Works, said: “We are proud to be the first partner in the UK&I to achieve Snowflake Elite Partner status as it validates both our knowledge and experience. Before the Covid-19 pandemic, data modernisation was seen as a luxury; however, using data as a strategic asset has now become a key business objective.
"Our approach to delivering tangible business outcomes combined with Snowflake’s technology positions us as the number one choice for businesses wanting to unlock the value of their data.”
Tim Alexander, senior director of alliances, EMEA at Snowflake, said: “Infinity Works is a trusted partner and the Elite Partner status is a reflection of its investment towards the Snowflake partnership.
Infinity Works’ deep expertise in data engineering, combined with the power of Snowflake’s cloud data platform, enables businesses to have seamless and governed access to explore, share, and unlock the potential of their data.”
As part of the alliance with Snowflake, Infinity Works provides regular staff training to ensure people adhere to Snowflake best practices.
As an Elite Partner, Infinity Works will collaborate with Snowflake’s product team on the company's future roadmap, run joint marketing initiatives, and be positioned as one of Snowflakes' leading data consultancies with helping businesses get value from their data.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
