Successfully operationalizing machine learning (ML) is critical for organizations seeking to maximize the return on their initial investments. Building ML solutions in Snowflake requires not only architectural choices but also careful consideration of how to seamlessly integrate all components across the ML lifecycle. This session explores key trade-offs, lessons learned and other factors to effectively operationalize ML in Snowflake.
The presentation outlines a strategic, three-phase framework for developing data and AI solutions that yield a high return on investment. The session addresses the critical challenge that a significant majority of companies face: the inability to scale and achieve tangible value from their AI initiatives. The blueprint is valuable for attendees because it provides a clear framework for identifying a project's primary function and its associated costs, enabling them to justify scaling and ensure maximum value is realize.

Collecting and analyzing data is at the heart of every pharmaceutical R&D organization. As a result, we at Merck KGaA store large amounts of very diverse data – from assay results in early research, to operational data from clinical trials, human clinical trial data and data related to regulatory submissions. In the upcoming era of artificial intelligence (AI), making this data available to AI systems at scale is a strategic imperative. For this reason, we have formed a cross R&D workstream to modernize our compute & story ecosystem. In this presentation, we will explain the approach taken, the main challenges faced and how we are addressing them. One important component of our new ecosystem is Snowflake, where we leverage automation and blueprints to enable a consistent technical foundation across the different R&D domains.
