Frequently asked questions

Snowflake is the next generation data warehouse technology, which is an alternative to technologies like AWS Redshift, Azure Synapse or GCP BigQuery; it also is a replacement for legacy on-premise data warehousing technologies.

A data warehouse and child marketing data marts are the beating hearts of customer data that enables leading marketing organizations to deliver highly personalized and engaging customer experiences.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud offers industry leading capabilities, such as Journey Builder, which provides complex marketing journey orchestration.

SnowSelect empowers marketers to perform this staging step autonomously without IT intervention.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud users love working with Journey Builder. However, once customers have completed one or more journies, some analysis and segmentation is often required to determine what is the next best journey for that cohort of customers. 

SnowSelect allows Marketing Technologists to identify and segment these customers out as exclusion lists, or triggers for new journeys.
