Platforms

A platform decision is a
ways-of-working decision.

Buying the platform is not the outcome. The outcome is a change in how the business works: fewer exports, faster decisions, governance that holds as access widens, and room to grow into workloads you have not scoped yet. These pages are about that change, and where Snowflake, Sigma and Anthropic fit into it.

The trap

Every box gets ticked.

Draw up a feature matrix and every serious platform ends up with the same column of ticks. The matrix tells you what a tool can do. It says nothing about what changes once it is live, and that is the only thing the project was for.

  • “We bought Product X. Everyone still models in Excel.”
  • “We bought Product Y. Everyone still exports to CSV.”
  • Self-service, row-level security, native connectors, embedded dashboards, a mobile app: every vendor ticks all five.

Nobody asks what happens after go-live.

Platform by platform

One copy of the data. One place to act.

These platforms all sit on the one governed copy of the data in Snowflake, queried live, with security inherited rather than re-implemented. Measured against the five outcomes that actually matter after go-live, pick a platform to see the part it plays.

If nothing changes after go-live, you didn't run a transformation. You ran a migration.
