The Journey to Snowflake World Tour

On October 8, 2025, Data Domain proudly stood as an Event Sponsor at the Snowflake World Tour in Auckland - a milestone that reflects not just an event, but a representation of our journey of innovation, collaboration, and growth.

Two Years of Data Domain New Zealand

When we launched Data Domain two years ago, our mission was clear: to be unrivalled as a trusted provider of data and analytics services to our customers. The goal was to offer solutions to customers that solved complex problems in the data ecosystem. Starting at foundational data fundamentals, through to quality assurance in data pipelines, enabling complete and governed data for all environment types – crucial when developing AI solutions whilst needing to reduce risk exposure, as well as innovative approaches leveraging AI.

To support these goals, we focused on building strong foundations in our service offerings including data management, governance, and modern data platforms. From day one, we selected best-in-class technologies to enable us to deliver excellence, therefore we partnered with key technologies including Snowflake. Today, we’re proud to see that vision come to life in our ability to deliver impactful Snowflake solutions to our clients.

This partnership isn’t just about technology; it’s about shared values—innovation, agility, and customer success. Together, we’ve delivered solutions that transform how organisations store, share, and analyse data.

Snowflake World Tour: A Moment of Community

The Snowflake World Tour in Auckland was more than an event - it was a celebration of community and progress. As an Event Sponsor, Data Domain became immersed in the community thriving here in New Zealand - a community which often feels more like a high school reunion than an I.T. conference. It was fantastic to connect with other members and talk about their current directions and experiences, some of which, like us, are still innovating and riding the wave after several decades. A key topic that stood out was the use of Snowflake Horizon Catalog and Cortex A.I. to accelerate and simplify data governance tasks.

We also got the opportunity to discuss with attendees how we pair technologies such as Snowflake with our unique approach to embedding trust and accelerating quality assurance in data pipelines across various database technologies and data platforms. There was interest in discovering how our solution offers predefined configurations for data validation, leveraging AI-driven automation to ensure the reliability of analytics and data pipelines. Additionally, with a drive automation there were keen discussions about how our methodology ensures quality workflows are integrated into CI/CD pipelines, enabling continuous quality assurance and the delivery of trusted data products.

Looking Ahead

The past two years have been incredible, but this is just the beginning. Our roadmap with Snowflake includes deeper integration of AI-driven analytics, advanced data governance frameworks, automated data testing, and continued investment in skills and certifications to keep our clients ahead of the curve.
