Most organizations talk about AI-powered development. We’re actually using it — at scale, across our teams, on real work.
Perficient earned the Cortex Code Preferred Partner Badge from Snowflake. Not because we attended a training or passed a certification. Because our engineers ran more than 3,000 requests through Cortex Code, Snowflake’s AI coding agent, applying it to everything from data pipelines to machine learning (ML) operations.
“Achieving the Cortex Code Preferred Partner Badge reflects our team’s dedication to leveraging cutting-edge AI technology to accelerate development velocity and deliver exceptional value for our clients,” said Eric Walk, vice president, AI Data Platforms, Perficient. “We are committed to using Cortex Code to accelerate our work on 100 percent of our Snowflake client engagements.”
What It Took
Snowflake doesn’t hand out this badge for enthusiasm. It requires proof.
Enterprise-scale adoption: More than 3,000 requests across Perficient. Our engineers use Cortex Code daily — for code generation, debugging, optimization, and documentation. It’s integrated into how we work, not treated as a side experiment.
Full-platform proficiency: We used multiple bundled skills within Cortex Code, applying it across different technical contexts. That means our teams know how to deploy it where it matters, not just where it’s easy.
Real applications: We provided usage examples from both internal engineering and client solutions. These aren’t hypotheticals. They’re live implementations proving how AI coding agents reduce development friction and accelerate delivery.
Thought leadership: We committed to sharing what we’ve learned with the broader data and AI community. Experience is only useful if it moves others forward.
What This Means for Clients
Clients need partners who can deliver sophisticated AI solutions with speed and precision — not partners who are still figuring it out themselves.
We’ve already done the work. Whether you’re modernizing legacy data pipelines, building intelligent applications on Snowflake, or accelerating ML model development, we bring proven experience — not promises.
Cortex Code provides AI-powered acceleration. Perficient provides the strategy, implementation expertise, and enterprise experience to make it work in your environment.
This badge reinforces our Snowflake Premier Partner status and reflects our ability to deliver comprehensive solutions across data architecture, analytics, AI, and application development.
AI as a Force Multiplier
The Cortex Code badge isn’t about a technical achievement. It’s about how we work.
We integrated AI-powered coding assistance into standard development practices because it makes our teams faster, sharper, and more focused on high-value problem-solving. We’re not experimenting with AI. We’re using it to reimagine how we approach complex projects and deliver results.
The future of software development is collaborative, augmented, and intelligent. We bring that approach to every client engagement.
Credit to Our Team
This happened because engineers, architects, and data scientists across Perficient chose to explore new frontiers instead of defaulting to traditional workflows. Every optimized workflow and every development challenge solved with Cortex Code reflects a team willing to push boundaries.
We’re building on this momentum as a Cortex Code Preferred Partner and Snowflake Premier Partner.
