Flywheels and why it matters with Snowflake

Keynote

Reflecting on Summit

At the Snowflake Summit, a strong commitment to AI was emphasized. Both Snowflake and NVIDIA have made strides in building their AI capabilities. The rise of AI, particularly generative AI, has been a prominent topic at cloud tech conferences over the past year. As a former Snowflake employee and current customer, I’m intrigued by the potential of AI. Jensen Huang, NVIDIA’s CEO, and Sridhar Ramaswamy, Snowflake’s CEO, frequently discussed the concept of a ‘flywheel’.

Understanding the flywheel concept in software development is vital. Something we at Perficient, have been doing for some time now.  It’s described as a visual loop that enables technology to achieve velocity by reducing internal process friction. This flywheel analogy is relevant and compelling. Many IT enterprises struggle with disorganized data and fail to achieve needed business growth. They often grapple with maintaining a single version of truth and meeting business needs. I have immense respect for stalwarts like Jensen Huang and Sridhar Ramaswamy. They’ve earned the right to discuss and evangelize their investment in “Enterprise AI”.  Let us at Perficient, take it from there.
