FAQ

Questions, answered.

The things teams ask us first: about our Snowflake partnership, how we deliver, what it costs, and how we keep your data safe.

Partnership & certifications

What Snowflake partner status does Viewnear hold?+

Viewnear is a Snowflake Premier Partner and a Snowflake CoCo Preferred Partner, with SnowPro-certified engineers and a verified, end-to-end delivery track record across the Americas.

What does a Premier Partner unlock for us?+

Co-sell alignment with your Snowflake account team, the option to procure Snowflake through us (consumption-based, so you pay for what you use), early access to new capabilities (Cortex, Openflow, Horizon Catalog, CoCo, and CoWork), and certified delivery on every engagement.

How does Snowflake pricing work, and can we buy it through Viewnear?+

Snowflake is consumption-based: you pay for the compute (credits) and storage you actually use, on one open platform. You can procure your Snowflake capacity through Viewnear for simpler commercial terms and account management under one accountable partner.

Delivery & engagements

How long does a Snowflake implementation take?+

A typical initial production build runs 8–16 weeks, depending on data volume, source complexity, and the number of use cases in scope. We deliver value from sprint one.

How do you de-risk a large engagement?+

We prove the approach with a focused proof of concept before the full build, run regular steering reviews with clear decision gates, and hand over documentation and enablement so your team can run and extend it confidently.

Can you migrate our existing data warehouse to Snowflake?+

Yes. Migration is one of our most common engagements (Teradata, Oracle, Hadoop, SQL Server). We manage the full technical delivery and program governance.

Commercials

How is an engagement priced?+

Engagements are scoped on data volume and complexity, the number of analytics/AI use cases, team size, and timeline. We agree scope and price up front and offer fixed-cost, time-and-materials, and team-augmentation models.

Do you publish standard pricing?+

No. No two platforms are the same, so we price to the work. Tell us your goals and constraints and we'll come back with a model, a plan, and a price.

Security & platform

How do you keep our data secure?+

We build on Snowflake's certified platform and extend it with least-privilege access, Horizon Catalog lineage and PII classification, Horizon Context so every person and AI agent works from the same trusted business context, data residency by region, and audit-ready controls, all configured to your sector.

Do you use third-party tools or stay native to Snowflake?+

We lead with the Snowflake-native stack (Openflow, Snowpark, Horizon Catalog, Cortex, Snowsight, Streamlit, plus the Snowflake CoCo coding agent and CoWork AI agent) so governance and AI context (Horizon Context) stay in one place. dbt is the one external framework we run, natively against Snowflake.
