Asteria Releases Adaptor that Connects Snowflake Data Cloud and Warp to Promote Effective Use of Data Assets

Tokyo — Sept. 29, 2022 — Asteria Corporation (Japan listed, Security Code: 3853) announced today the release of an adaptor which enables the no-code integration of Snowflake Data Cloud provided by Snowflake Inc. and ASTERIA Warp, which has held the largest share of the domestic enterprise data integration software market (EAI/ESB) for the 15th straight year^*1.

The rapidly changing management challenges faced by companies and organizations due to external factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic, global price hikes and climate change call for data-driven management^*2 that enables rapid decision making using internal data assets.
Snowflake is provided by Snowflake Inc. as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) which enables easy collection and accumulation of siloed^*3 data inside and outside the company and has been introduced by about 6,000 companies around the world. With its ability to organize and analyze data gathered from various systems, Snowflake allows customers to swiftly make decisions as a cloud service which supports data-driven management.
The Snowflake adapter links various data accumulated in internal systems via ASTERIA Warp without coding. This makes it possible to build a data infrastructure for analyzing and utilizing a vast amount of siloed data assets on Snowflake data cloud without coding. It can also be linked with BI tools to visualize vast data assets and with AI to improve predicted performance. Using more than 100 types of ASTERIA Warp adapters, it is also possible to link with data stored in various cloud services and mission-critical systems.
The Snowflake adaptor will promote internal construction of a data integration infrastructure without coding, and will expedite management decisions by efficiently utilizing siloed corporate data assets, thereby contributing to digital transformation in businesses through data-driven management.

The Asteria’s Warp business has been expanding steadily with the number of companies which have introduced the product exceeding 9,700. In addition to the data coordination needs from digital transformation projects seen across a wide range of industries and such demands related to the revised electronics books preservation act, the new market is expanding — the demand related to the invoice system compliance is also expected to increase.
Going forward, Asteria will continue to expand sales of Warp’s functions to link with diverse data sources in various industries and take advantage of its no-code feature to support the use of data to solve social issues such as IT human resource shortages and to contribute to the promotion of business efficiency and automation.
