CHICAGO – Snowflake Inc . (NYSE: NYSE:), an AI Data Cloud company, announced a new Power Platform connector in collaboration with Microsoft (NASDAQ:), enhancing data sharing capabilities for enterprise AI application development. Revealed at Microsoft Ignite, the connector facilitates bidirectional data flow between Microsoft’s Dataverse and Snowflake’s AI Data Cloud.
The integration aims to streamline the creation of custom applications on the Microsoft Power Platform, which includes low-code/no-code services and Dynamics 365. With this connector, developers can now access Snowflake data directly within Power Apps, reducing the need for custom workflows and coding. This is expected to significantly cut resource management and infrastructure handling time for IT and analytics leaders, allowing a focus on high-volume transactions and near real-time analytics.
Christian Kleinerman, EVP of Product at Snowflake, emphasized the shared vision with Microsoft to provide customers with deeper data insights and to eliminate data silos. He highlighted the importance of this integration in the AI era, as it allows the building of AI applications without data movement, enhancing collaboration and productivity.
Charles Lamanna, Corporate Vice President at Microsoft, also noted the benefits of this integration for developers, including improved productivity, IT security, and governance, along with added business value.
The connector is currently in public preview for data access from Snowflake AI Data Cloud to Dataverse and the Microsoft Power Platform. Access from Dataverse to Snowflake is slated for early 2025.
Earlier this year, Snowflake and Microsoft also announced bidirectional data access between Snowflake AI Data Cloud and Microsoft Fabric through Apache Iceberg™.

Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these statements.
