Six Steps to Snowflake Success<\/h2>\n

The first step is to build a foundation that includes infrastructure elements such as storage and compute, enabling an organization to move and use data effectively. Governance is critical at this level, Zajdel said, but is often overlooked due to the pressure many business leaders feel to show business value quickly in their AI initiatives. Not only should organizations establish strong governance at the outset, but they should maintain that effort, he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cData governance is not a project. It doesn\u2019t have a beginning or an end,\u201d Zajdel said. \u201cIt\u2019s a way of life. You have to commit to it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Strong governance enables organizations to put guardrails on AI so that users can trust the outcomes it produces, Marcolis said. This is especially important when AI agents are used to create additional agents.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have to have this foundation in place, or you\u2019re not going to realize the full potential of what AI can be,\u201d Zajdel added.<\/p>\n

Next, the transformation layer enables organizations to govern the outcomes of its AI projects and tokenize the data it ingests. At this layer, some organizations have implemented a \u201cmedallion architecture\u201d that organizes data into progressive layers of quality and refinement.<\/p>\n

The third layer, the semantic layer, makes analytical AI more explainable, consistent and trustworthy at scale by bringing semantics closer to the data and defining common business concepts so outputs such as dashboards, reports and AI agents produce consistent answers.<\/p>\n

The Intelligence Layer: Making AI Operational<\/h2>\n

At the intelligence layer, AI becomes operational. \u201cThe robots are taking over, and you have to be ready for that,\u201d Marcolis said, noting that AI is useful when the lower layers are disciplined and governed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Many organizations begin their AI projects at this step, which leads to problems. By building their…<\/p>\n
