Snowflake
Drive bigger insights and better decisions with business user access to your most valuable enterprise data in Snowflake.
No data gaps – ever
A cloud-built data warehouse, such as Snowflake, helps you deliver insights to the business quickly and at a lower cost than traditional data warehouses. But, in making the move to cloud, many companies find that they’re missing highly valued data from systems that are traditionally on-premises, such as the mainframe and IBM i.
By pairing Snowflake with Precisely Connect, you can get full access to all your data – whether transaction data and other important insights from the mainframe, IBM i or other business systems. Use Connect to deliver complex data, like Db2, VSAM or IMS, to Snowflake. Never have gaps in your data again and know the data you rely on for business insights and analytics is accurate and up-to-date.
For confidence in your data, Connect provides full insight into your end-to-end data lineage for reporting and compliance, even as your data volume grows.
Your organization is using Snowflake for analytics and insights for better, quicker business decisions. But, if your company relies on on-premises mainframe or IBM i systems to process critical business transactions, those insights can be based on old data. Working with outdated information can cause your business to make incorrect decisions and lose opportunities – or even customers.
Connect helps ensure you’re working with the most current data in Snowflake with real-time change data capture. Connect captures changes to data from a variety of sources, including mainframe and IBM i, and replicates them to Snowflake in real-time. Leveraging Precisely’s deep expertise working with mainframe and IBM i data, Connect not only shares changes to made to data in Snowflake as they happen, but also makes that complex data immediately readable in Snowflake so you can put it to work for your analytics right away.

Even with the growth of technologies such as Snowflake, mainframe and IBM i systems still play a key role within many businesses. Most enterprises continue to use these legacy systems for their most crucial business functions. For example, mainframes often hold critical information – from credit card transactions to internal reports. However, EBCDIC encoding, REDEFINEs, complex structures, packed decimals, and other complexities make raw mainframe data costly and time-consuming to integrate into other platforms.
Precisely is the industry expert with over 50 years of expertise in accessing and integrating complex legacy data and making it usable in the cloud. Precisely Connect uses high-performance data integration software to move legacy data to Snowflake to fuel analytics projects. Connect directly accesses, understands, and transforms complex VSAM files, COBOL Copybooks, IMS data, Db2 data, as well as mainframe fixed and sequential files.
Connect can ingest raw legacy data and transform it for use in Snowflake, all while linking to the original metadata and providing end-to-end data lineage. With Connect, you can design data integration workflows visually once and deploy them anywhere – on-premises or in the cloud – without the need for redesign, repeated work, or recompiling.
Make all your critical data available in Snowflake to accelerate analytics, fill data lakes and modernize your data warehouse while reducing costs. For example, Connect enables you to build links between hierarchical mainframe data sets and relational Snowflake tables. High performance loads are performed to Snowflake tables on Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform.
