Auckland, New Zealand — January 10, 2024 — Qrious (part of Spark Business Group) has announced that it has achieved Premier tier partner
status from Snowflake, the Data Cloud company. Transitioning away from legacy systems to the innovative use of data and cloud computing is a
challenge facing most modern businesses. Qrious will leverage the Snowflake Data Cloud to help companies all over New
Zealand tap into the power of cloud computing by building data storage, processing, and analytic solutions that are
fast, flexible, and easy to use.
“Qrious is focused on accelerating innovation around the use of data by companies across New Zealand. Rapid acceleration
in the digital space is exciting, but this also requires a whole new skillset. Achieving Premier tier status with
Snowflake means we have demonstrated proficiency and commitment to leveraging Snowflake's cutting-edge technology for
our clients as they prepare for the next wave of innovation,” comments Stephen Ponsford, CEO - Qrious.
“Qrious combined with Snowflake’s Data Cloud comprise a powerful combination of capabilities to streamline transitions to the
cloud and mobilise data in the service of the enterprise,” said Tony Shaw, Country Manager - New Zealand, Snowflake.
Recently, Apex NZ turned to Qrious to help design and launch an entirely modern data platform using Snowflake, with DBT
for modeling, and transforms with FiveTran for ingesting data on the Snowflake Data Cloud. Using their old system, it
would take Apex over seven hours to run a tax year-end report for one of its bigger clients. This new integration will
enable Apex to run an entire report for as many as three big clients, and a handful of smaller clients in just seven
minutes. Full details can be found here.
“We’re excited to continue to help local businesses tap into the power of cloud technology to scale their efficiency and
impact; and we’re proud to be doing so to a very high standard, in collaboration with Snowflake,” concludes Ponsford.
