Story
NextEra Energy grew governed analytics faster than the local tools around it. From the United States, utilities teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer. Analysts and finance partners were the ones stitching the picture together by hand.
Rolling out Horizon Catalog put enterprise reporting on Snowflake. Snowflake is a cloud data platform that separates storage and compute so organizations can share, analyze, and govern data across clouds. NextEra Energy keeps the product in the path where work already happens, so analysts and finance partners do not context-switch into a graveyard system used only for audits.
The visible result is steadier enterprise reporting. Governed analytics is easier to inspect, and adjacent groups can join analysts and finance partners without a guided tour of someone's desktop.
