Architecture

Snowflake is the
data gravity. Everything connects.

The enterprises that get value from Cortex AI architect Snowflake as the governed data foundation — with Cortex Intelligence on top for business users, Iceberg for open formats, and zero-copy shares into every downstream application.

Most Snowflake SIs stop at the warehouse boundary. We don’t. Teqfocus architects the full stack — from Iceberg and Polaris catalog to zero-copy Data 360 shares into Salesforce, to governed Cortex agents, to AWS / Azure / GCP infrastructure underneath.

Running Salesforce alongside Snowflake? Our Summit Salesforce practice handles the application-layer side of the architecture — one team, one commercial, one end-to-end roadmap. Zero-copy shares between Snowflake and Data 360 are our architectural default.

Five accelerators we bring to every Snowflake engagement — battle-tested across 50+ customer

Accelerator 01

Legacy Data Warehouse Migration

Automated schema and SQL conversion from Teradata, Oracle, Netezza, Redshift, and on-prem Hadoop.

Accelerator 02

FinOps & Cost Management

Warehouse right-sizing, workload isolation, resource monitors, auto-suspend thresholds, clustering strategy, and query profile reviews — architected before go-live, not retrofitted after a runaway bill.

Accelerator 03

Industry-First Accelerators

Proprietary frameworks and pre-built data models for Healthcare & Life Sciences, Insurance, Financial Services, SaaS, and HiTech.

Accelerator 04

Full-Stack Data Integration

Pre-engineered connectors and patterns for hyperscaler infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP), SaaS source systems, downstream applications, streaming pipelines, and secure data sharing.

Accelerator 05

ML & Generative AI on Snowpark

ML operationalization patterns, feature-store scaffolding, and custom GenAI applications built on Snowpark and Cortex — with MLflow integration, model registry governance, and production-grade CI/CD.

Teqfocus AgentOps Framework

Agents in production need more than a prompt. They need AgentOps.

Prototype agents are easy. Production agents — grounded on sensitive data, governed under HIPAA or SOC 2, evaluated continuously, and cost-capped at scale — require an operating discipline. Teqfocus builds that in from day one.

The four-pillar AgentOps framework

Every Cortex agent engagement we ship includes our AgentOps framework — so you always know what your agents are doing, why they answer what they answer, and what it costs.

01 — Observe

Agent tracing, tool-call logging, token telemetry, and latency SLOs in Snowflake tables you already govern.

02 — Evaluate

Golden-set regression suites, LLM-as-judge scoring, hallucination detection, and drift alerts on every model update.

03 — Govern

Horizon-backed access control, prompt-injection guardrails, PII/PHI masking, and full lineage from answer back to source row.

04 — Optimize

Token-cost dashboards, caching strategy, model routing, and FinOps rails to keep agent unit economics under control.

Proof · Anonymized Engagements

What we’ve shipped recently
on Snowflake AI Data Cloud.

Three recent Snowflake engagements, anonymized to protect client identity. Outcomes are verified. Scope is real.

Healthcare
Snowflake HLSHorizon CatalogCortex AISecure Data Sharing

Regional health payer migrates Netezza to Snowflake with HIPAA-governed zero-copy sharing

ChallengeEnd-of-life Netezza, fragmented clinical and claims data, no single source of truth for downstream care-management and analytics teams.

What we didMigrated Netezza workloads to Snowflake using automated conversion tooling. Architected Horizon Catalog governance for HIPAA access control and lineage. Zero-copy data sharing to downstream care-management and BI applications.

Outcome: First production workload in 10 weeks. A verified 35% reduction in query-related operational costs in the first quarter post-go-live.
Insurance
SnowparkCortex AIIcebergSecure Data Sharing

P&C carrier grounds actuarial models and broker analytics on Snowflake

ChallengeActuarial pricing ran on legacy mainframe extracts. Broker-facing analytics needed live quote data. Refresh cycles took days.

What we didStood up Snowflake as the actuarial and broker data foundation. Snowpark for Python-based pricing models. Secure Data Sharing to downstream broker and underwriting applications. Cortex AI for claims text classification.

Outcome: Actuarial model refresh cycle cut from days to hours. Broker quote turnaround reduced in the first quarter post-launch.
SaaS
Snowflake IntelligenceCortex CodeHorizon Catalog

Global SaaS deploys Snowflake Intelligence + Cortex Code for self-serve product analytics

ChallengeEvery business team wanted self-serve analytics. The data team was buried in ad-hoc requests. Sensitive fields needed governance.

What we didDeployed Snowflake Intelligence as the conversational interface for GTM, Product, and CS teams. Cortex Code for the analytics engineering team. Horizon governance ensures sensitive fields are masked by role automatically.

Outcome: Data-team ticket volume dropped by a verified 42% in the first 60 days. Self-serve analytics coverage expanded to 8 business teams.

FAQ

Questions prospects actually ask

The real questions that come up in our first Snowflake architecture conversations — answered straight.

What does Premier Snowflake Service Partner actually mean?
Premier Snowflake Service Partner is Snowflake’s top-tier designation, earned through SnowPro certifications, verified customer deployments, and consistent delivery outcomes. Teqfocus holds Premier status with 20+ SnowPro-certified experts. It’s a credibility signal Snowflake awards based on outcomes, not a badge you buy — Snowflake adjusts tier assignments annually.
Do you do Snowflake and Salesforce together, or is that a separate team?
Yes — Teqfocus is a Premier Snowflake Services Partner and a Salesforce Summit Partner delivered by the same in-house architecture team, not a reseller handoff. Zero-copy data contracts between Snowflake and the Salesforce Data 360 layer, grounded agents on governed Cortex data — these are our architectural defaults. See our Salesforce Summit practice for the application-layer detail.
How do you migrate from Teradata, Oracle, Netezza, or on-prem Hadoop?
Teqfocus migrates legacy data warehouses using a four-step playbook: automated schema and SQL conversion, workload classification, phased cutover with dual-run validation, and FinOps sizing before go-live — first production workload typically ships in 8–12 weeks. Full decommission of the source system follows in 6–9 months. The playbook covers Teradata, Oracle, Netezza, SQL Server, and on-prem Hadoop sources.
What is Cortex AI and when should we use it vs. Databricks?
Cortex AI is Snowflake’s platform-native AI layer — LLMs, embeddings, and agentic functions running inside the Snowflake security perimeter where your data already lives. Choose Cortex for governed AI with minimal data movement; choose Databricks for heavy custom ML training and Spark-native lakehouse workloads. Cortex supports OpenAI, Anthropic, and Snowflake-hosted models. Teqfocus runs both platforms and picks by workload, not by platform loyalty.
What is the Iceberg + Polaris story and should we care?
Horizon Catalog absorbed Polaris (Snowflake’s open-source Iceberg catalog) in 2026, giving you one governance plane across Snowflake-native tables and open-format Iceberg — with zero-ETL reads via Open Format Data Sharing. You keep your existing Iceberg or Delta lake, and Snowflake queries it without copies. The vendor lock-in concern addressed head-on.
Can you run Snowflake in HIPAA, SOC 2, and regulated environments?
Yes — Teqfocus delivers Snowflake into HIPAA-bound healthcare payers, SOC 2 Type II SaaS environments, state-regulated insurance carriers, and financial services under model risk governance. Horizon Catalog governance, access control, data quality, and end-to-end lineage are designed into every regulated engagement from day one — not retrofitted during remediation.
How do we work with Teqfocus across both Snowflake and Salesforce?
One engagement, one commercial, one senior architect. Teqfocus scopes both platforms in a single discovery, designs the zero-copy data contract between the Snowflake account and the Salesforce application layer, and ships both sides on shared milestones — no phase-1-then-phase-2 theater. See our Salesforce Summit practice for the application-layer detail.
Can I talk to a client reference?
Yes — once we’ve completed a scoping conversation and have an NDA in place, Teqfocus matches a reference client by industry and scope. Reference options span Healthcare, Insurance, FinServ, SaaS, and HiTech across legacy migration, Cortex AI, agentic workloads, and FinOps engagements.
