Leveraging AtScale enables organizations to replace SQL Server Analysis Services and migrate the workload to Snowflake

The Problem

SSAS has several drawbacks, including its inability to handle big data and the complexity of defining and modifying dimensional models. Further, using SSAS requires moving data out of Snowflake which is complex and fails to leverage the power of the Snowflake Data Platform SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) is a popular platform for delivering dimensional analysis. SSAS exposes “cubes” to end users which makes data easier to consume for business users

The Solution

AtScale delivers an architecturally superior alternative to SSAS. AtScale allows you to do multi-dimensional analysis directly on data in Snowflake, without extracting data to pre-aggregate it. AtScale is built for big data and will scale with your business while improving your Snowflake ROI.

Ultimately, this helps organizations deliver better sales analytics velocity and granularity, as well as delivering a powerful platform for BI teams to build robust and usable business insight programs.

AtScale helps Snowflake customers build world-class business intelligence and data science programs while leveraging the full flexibility and capability of the Snowflake Data Cloud. Removing SSAS from the equation means better agility and performance, faster modeling and accelerated data access.
