Perficient & Snowflake: Better Together

Joining the Crew

Let’s face it.  Data projects are laced with problems. I have been in data my entire career and I love these challenges. 15 years in the industry has exposed me to first-hand digital transformation and cloud migrations.  At Perficient, we face challenges like this often and we embrace them with a strong approach to delivery at the executive level.

What drew me to Perficient was its commitment to innovation, strong track record of success, and its collaborative and supportive work environment. Frankly, everyone I met seemed happy and wanted to help each other.  Despite this being my first impression, I was intrigued.

 

Why Perficient?

Since joining Perficient, I have had the opportunity to engulf myself in a one-of-a-kind culture. I have become familiar with Perficient’s unique entrepreneurial culture and how it fosters a collaborative and supportive network of colleagues on a global scale. Not to mention the countless similarities between Snowflake and Perficient that I discover with each day leading the team.

The answer to the million-dollar question, “Why Perficient?” is simple. Choose Perficient because:

It has a standout Entrepreneurial Culture
The Collaborative and Supportive Work Environment
Opportunity for Global Growth
Working Better Together

Entrepreneurial Culture

Perficient constantly pushes the boundaries of what is possible for its clients and always looks for new, innovative ways to help clients solve their business challenges. This entrepreneurial culture of innovation is what drew me in. You cannot attend any technology conference without hearing about Perficient’s new AI offerings.  The difference is we are drinking our own champagne.  We are leading several projects around AI, and in one instance, we illustrated what can be achieved by using our own consulting data. The team is always willing to try new things to help our customers.  I am excited to lead a team of talented professionals passionate about making a difference.

 

Collaborative and Supportive Work Environment

At Perficient, everyone is encouraged to share their ideas and contribute to the success of our global clients. This sense of community at Perficient is what immediately struck me. Everyone is willing to help each other out, and there is a genuine sense of camaraderie.  When a customer relayed concern regarding assembly details, our internal teams immediately began collaborating to explore an AI-driven product for a leading manufacturer.  I am encouraged to have a collaborative and supportive team willing to dive into tangible solutions for the benefit of our customers.

Opportunity for Global Growth

Perficient offers opportunities for growth and development with its strong global presence. Often, we work on newer, best-of-breed technologies, where learning quickly is the norm and having the flexibility to deliver according to the customers’ needs is essential. As the Snowflake Practice Leader at Perficient, I am driving many Snowflake-related opportunities that are global in delivery. Our team is focused on running projects that scale to the global needs of our customers.

Better Together

Having spent time in two astounding organizations, I continue to uncover similarities between the two.  Both Snowflake and Perficient are well regarded once engaged.  Snowflake’s recent NPS (Net Promoter Score) as of Q2-FY25 is 67. NPS is a measure commonly used to associate word of mouth in marketing or said more practically as the likelihood someone will refer Snowflake to a new customer.  The industry is typically around 30, and 70 or above is considered great.  At Perficient, nearly 95% of our customers are choosing to continue to work with us again. It’s a statistic that was earned by building trust through consistent execution. With Snowflake, consumption pricing allows consumers to benefit from the flexibility of their data needs.  You pay for what you consume.  This bodes well for the Perficient delivery model flexibility, as we thrive on being agnostic on the cloud (like Snowflake) with a strong global workforce, often moving with customer needs.

The Answer to the Million-dollar Question:

Leaders in the Data Cloud space should choose Perficient because of our commitment to push boundaries for our clients through a culture that enables our teams to think freely and outside the box to create one-of-a-kind solutions. The entrepreneurial mindset at Perficient gives way to a collaborative environment where everyone has a willingness to contribute to client success with original ideas. We apply these qualities to a global scale to create a unique recipe for success from a Snowflake + Perficient, better together perspective.

 

Looking to the future: What is next for the Snowflake Practice at Perficient?

Looking ahead, I am honored to be leading the global Snowflake Perficient team. The momentum of AI and cloud data modernization has Perficient well positioned to not only drive business outcomes but deliver with our flexible global delivery.  It is a challenge that is worth our best. One that we are leveraging with our own consulting practice.  At Perficient, we do not try to do everything like our other global consultancy peers, but what we do-> we do with purpose and excellence. To that end, I am confident our team will deliver world-class projects and am excited about the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of our clients and to help Perficient continue to grow and succeed.  Come join us on the journey here.
