In today's digital era, DaaS (Data as a Service) and Data Warehouses are transforming how businesses operate. While they may sound technical, their impact redefines how organisations handle data. Let's explore their significance and how BigChange customers can benefit.
🧠 What is DaaS?
DaaS represents a major shift in the way companies handle their data. Before the introduction of DaaS, many businesses were held back from creating the reporting they wanted because of limitations in their systems and templates.
DaaS removes these restrictions, brings together data from different sources and combines them in custom reports.
Large enterprises often use various systems, including custom-built ones, alongside BigChange's world-class job management solution. DaaS allows them to seamlessly merge data from all their systems, offering a complete picture of performance across their entire business.
Combining all of this data in a single location creates your very own data warehouse.
❄️ The Power of a Data Warehouse: Enter Snowflake
Snowflake stands tall as an industry leader and key enabler behind the power of BigChange's DaaS solution. By partnering with Snowflake, BigChange has ensured:
- Immediate Access: Pull data whenever needed, allowing your data analytics professionals to use tools such as Microsoft PowerBI, Panintelligence and others to combine it with other data sources and produce meaningful reports or dashboards.
- Scalability: As a business grows, Snowflake adapts, ensuring data infrastructure is never a limiting factor.
Embracing DaaS is like giving your business a pair of wings in the data realm. It's not just about having access to information; it's about soaring with the insights that propel your operations to new heights. With BigChange and Snowflake, the sky's no longer the limit—it's just the beginning.

🚀 Benefits to BigChange Customers
The collaboration between BigChange and Snowflake heralds a new era of data-driven decision-making:
- Diversity in Data Access: While the initial focus is on job data, the roadmap includes diverse 'marts', specific areas of focused information linked to other BigChange entities such as finance and tracking.
- Cost Efficiency: With Snowflake's transparent pricing, businesses can maximise value whilst minimising costs.
- Unified Business Perspective: Merging data sources provides a comprehensive overview of operations, aiding strategic planning.
🎯 Who's It For and Who's It Not For?
Although DaaS is a potential game-changer, it won’t work for every business. Although we will provide the raw data, you will need a data analytics professional within your business to convert it into dashboards or reports.
For those who need a more immediate visual representation, alternatives like pre-built dashboards or custom reporting could be a more suitable solution.
📜 Conclusion
BigChange's entry into DaaS, backed by Snowflake, is a commitment to the future. In an increasingly data-centric world, these tools will shape the success trajectories of customers, old and new.
