I recently had the pleasure of chatting with SnapLogic customer Yelp. Given the nature of their business, Yelp had a lot of customer data that they needed to process and act upon quickly in order to optimize their revenue streams. They decided to adopt the Amazon Redshift data warehouse service to give them the analytics speed and flexibility they needed. So the next question was: how to get the data into Redshift efficiently.
Once they discovered that SnapLogic had the out-of-the-box connectors they needed — not only for Redshift but for data sources Salesforce and Workday — it came down to build versus buy. They could build the integrations using in-house resources, but there was an opportunity cost and speed penalty that came with a DIY approach. In the end, they chose SnapLogic and estimate that they cut development time in half.
And they’re not done – they are connecting Workday with Redshift next. Yelp told me, “Looking ahead, we’re planning to deploy the Workday Snap to connect our human resources data to Redshift. SnapLogic has proven to be a tremendous asset.” Sounds like a 5-star review. Read more here.
