Limiting data in Snowflake to insight generation is like having a Ferrari stuck in first gear. Unlock Snowflake’s true power by using data to to run operations – not just analytics.
Elementum is a lightweight, no-code, and highly-configurable process automation platform native to Snowflake. Its Data Driven Workflows turn static Snowflake data into triggers that automatically initiate and execute automations. This strategy eliminates reliance on IT and other technical resources by empowering data teams and business users to quickly link existing data tables in Snowflake, layer apps, and refine business processes autonomously.

Prior to kickoff, Elementum will design a basic process flow based on conversations with the customer. Final configuration and deployment take just one day, usually completed in an on-site workshop, followed by a security review that usually spans 1-2 weeks depending on the industry. Governance and compliance controls are inherited directly from Snowflake. There are no professional services fees. Typically, members of the data and business teams serve as part-time admins.
