Accredible's Snowflake Use
Snowflake is central to Accredible’s data operations. The team uses Snowflake on a daily basis for internal reporting of core company metrics in marketing, sales, and customer success, and for driving automated business processes using iPaaS tools and AI.
It was also essential for powering their migration from Hubspot to Salesforce, where it was the engine for their data migration. They continue to use it for similar workloads such as enriching customer data.
Accredible turns to Espresso as spend increases rapidly
As Accredible usage of Snowflake grew, so did their costs. Their budget for business analytics was limited, and they were unable to commit to higher spend on Snowflake.
“When we discovered Espresso, our Snowflake spend was increasing rapidly, and we were expecting to have to reduce our usage or renegotiate our agreement. Espresso made all of that unnecessary.” - Alan Heppenstall, CTO
Espresso used two weeks of historical workload metadata to train our optimization models. Within 48 hours, we turned around a savings estimate which projected up to 75% savings in production. Then Accredible switched Espresso on and instantly saw the savings in production.
Results: 62% in savings
Espresso quickly delivered savings without changes to Accredible’s workflows or any team effort.
Since switching on Espresso, the Accredible team made their own optimizations as well. Espresso only bills for savings, and their models are able to account for internal optimizations - that’s how you know you’re paying for just the savings Espresso delivers.
Today, Espresso saves Accredible 62% on their annual Snowflake bill, which they repurpose in other data analytics initiatives in the business.
