Story
Twitter grew secure data sharing faster than the local tools around it. From the United States, communication services teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer. Data platform and lines of business were the ones stitching the picture together by hand.
Rolling out Horizon Catalog put partner data exchange on Snowflake. Snowflake is a cloud data platform that separates storage and compute so organizations can share, analyze, and govern data across clouds. Twitter keeps the product in the path where work already happens, so data platform and lines of business do not context-switch into a graveyard system used only for audits.
The visible result is steadier partner data exchange. Secure data sharing is easier to inspect, and adjacent groups can join data platform and lines of business without a guided tour of someone's desktop.
