Story
CMS Energy did not need another dashboard that nobody opened. It needed partner data exchange to move. In the United States, data platform and lines of business already knew where secure data sharing went wrong: too many copies, too little ownership, and a close process that waited on the loudest inbox.
Horizon Catalog from Snowflake is now in that path. Snowflake is a cloud data platform that separates storage and compute so organizations can share, analyze, and govern data across clouds. The company treats it as production tooling for partner data exchange, which is why data platform and lines of business live in it rather than exporting from it once a quarter.
CMS Energy can show how secure data sharing is handled today. That is the value: a repeatable way to run partner data exchange on software the rest of the industry already recognizes.
