About the Client:
The client is a premier operator in the global gaming and casino industry, overseeing a vast portfolio that includes brick-and-mortar casinos, online gaming platforms, and luxury hospitality venues.
Background:
The client adopted Snowflake to support 24/7 analytics and real-time insights. As usage expanded rapidly, performance bottlenecks, rising costs, inconsistent access controls, and governance gaps began to emerge—posing risks to agility and scalability.
Challenge:
As Snowflake became the cornerstone of the client’s data infrastructure, several challenges emerged:
- Inefficient Warehouse Sizing: Over- or under-provisioned warehouses led to poor performance and inflated costs.
- Manual Access Management: Role assignments lacked consistency and scalability, leading to risk and overhead.
- Fragmented Schema Design: Inconsistent, team-specific schemas created duplication and analysis hurdles.
- Lack of governance controls: Difficulty to enforce consistent policies or meet audit requirements in a regulated environment.
