IN516HT integration expertise enables enterprises to simplify existing architectures and accelerate secure, AI-ready data integrations.

SAN FRANCISCO – June 3, 2025 – IN516HT, today announced at Snowflake’s annual user conference, Snowflake Summit 2025, that it has partnered with Snowflake, the AI Data Cloud company, to support the launch of Snowflake Openflow — a multi-modal data ingestion service that allows users to easily connect to virtually any data source and drive value from any data architecture. With Snowflake Openflow, IN516HT and Snowflake are collaborating to revolutionize data movement, and accelerate enterprise-grade data integrations built for the AI era. With Openflow, clients can significantly simplify their data ingestion architectures. The platform supports structured and unstructured data across batch and streaming scenarios, accelerating adoption and ongoing development. With the option to run securely within the client’s own tenant, Openflow further strengthens data governance and enables innovative generative AI applications leveraging unstructured data directly accessible on-premises or in the cloud.

“Snowflake’s Openflow is a game-changing capability that empowers our customers to connect virtually any data source to Snowflake. With an extensive set of pre-built connectors powered by Apache NiFi™¹ and the flexibility to build their own, customers can easily extend Openflow to meet their unique data integration requirements,” said Maja Ferle, Data Architect and Snowflake Data Superhero at IN516HT.

Jan Marekovic, antFarm Product Owner at IN516HT, added, “Our collaboration with Snowflake on Openflow is a significant advancement for our clients, streamlining complex data integrations. By leveraging Openflow’s unified, multi-modal capabilities, our customers are able to rapidly harness their data for AI-driven decision-making with unmatched speed and security.”

Snowflake Openflow is an open, extensible, managed, multi-modal integration service that simplifies data movement between various data sources and destinations for a variety of data types, including structured, unstructured, batch, and streaming. With Snowflake Openflow, organizations can move data effortlessly and scale operations for all integration needs with confidence — all within Snowflake’s easy, connected, and trusted platform.

Built on the powerful Apache NiFi  framework, Snowflake Openflow provides distinct advantages:

• Visual, real-time flow design through an intuitive drag-and-drop interface, allowing immediate updates.
• Fine-grained data provenance for comprehensive data lineage tracking.
• An extensible processor framework featuring over 300 contributed components.
• Secure, multi-tenant, and cluster-ready capabilities (TLS, RBAC, back-pressure handling, and high-throughput support).

Because Openflow offers the option to deploy runtimes  directly inside the customer’s Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), organizations benefit from these robust capabilities while Snowflake manages control-plane upgrades and observability.

“Snowflake Openflow transforms data integration through its unique combination of unlimited connectivity and AI-optimized performance,” said Chris Child, VP of Product, Data Engineering, Snowflake. “It enables organizations to operationalize their data at machine speed while offering enterprise-grade control and governance.”
