Clean and enriched data
Automated normalization and enrichment
The Snow Data Intelligence Service software database grows significantly on a monthly, weekly and even daily basis, and enrichment is continuously improved leveraging AI and machine learning capabilities. Enrich software titles with manufacturer, SKU, version, application category, release date, EOL date, malware, operating system and more to improve the value of your technology data and related insights.
How It Works
Inventory, normalize, enrich, analyze
- First, using various discovery methods (agent, API connectors, browser extension, SSO, etc.), we obtain a comprehensive inventory of on-premises, SaaS and cloud applications
- Then this data is fed to the Data Intelligence Service, where it is normalized and enriched
- The resulting output of this clean and enriched data is insights to help you reduce spend and mitigate risk

We chose the Snow SAM solution because it covers all our functionality requests, from the DIS [Data Intelligence Service] to the management of both installed and web browser software, without compromising data privacy. For the first time, if the operating companies agreed to take up the service, we could gain clear visibility of software across the entire estate.
