Welcome to SELECT
Why SELECT?
Snowflake is an incredibly powerful platform, easily scaling to handle ever-larger data volumes without compromising on performance. But, if not controlled, costs associated with this scaling quickly climb. Whether your goal is to reduce the price of an upcoming renewal, extend your existing contract's runway, or reduce on-demand costs, SELECT can help.
SELECT is a SaaS web application that helps Snowflake users maximize ROI by providing visibility into spend, optimizing performance and automatically lowering costs. Learn more about our company and frequently asked questions here.
