Story
Materials work at Rio Tinto spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in the United Kingdom. Secure data sharing was splitting across regional habits. Data platform and lines of business asked for a shared way to run partner data exchange without freezing local judgment.
Snowflake (Snowpark) is what they standardized on. Snowflake is a cloud data platform that separates storage and compute so organizations can share, analyze, and govern data across clouds. Rio Tinto uses it as the system of record for secure data sharing, with data platform and lines of business as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
Leaders get a picture they can actually walk. Teams get fewer mystery statuses. The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
