About Us

We See Data Differently

At IT Strategists (aka ITS => Snowflake Solutions), we see data differently than 99.9999% of others. Our unique perspective comes from over 30 years of focusing on data automations, challenges, opportunities, and problems since the beginning of the 1990s. Unlike any other Data Thought Leaders and Data Invention Creators we see all data as interrelated opportunities moving on a continuous evolution of quality and automation to enable humanity to evolve further. 

When we discovered Snowflake in January 2018 it enabled many of our data-driven ideas come to life. Before Snowflake, the reality is that Agile Data Warehousing was underdeveloped. 

Discover the future of data management with IT Strategists and experience the power of the cloud at your fingertips. We are committed to bringing the cloud closer to you and empowering you and your business to take control of your data.
