Case Study: Custom Snowflake Training to Improve User Adoption in Financial Services
February 20, 2026
We often see teams adopt Snowflake but struggle to make it part of their day-to-day work. Here’s a recent example of how we helped one team close that gap through stronger user adoption.
🟢 The Challenge
One of the largest, publicly traded financial services companies in the DC area had strong Snowflake adoption, but their team was struggling to move beyond surface level usage.
Snowflake’s training provides a strong foundation and is designed to serve a wide range of users, but this team needed a more tailored training approach aligned to their specific data, workflows and long-term user adoption goals.
🟢 The Approach
High Trail supported the organization with a fully customized Snowflake enablement program designed to drive sustained user adoption:
- Weekly instructor-led sessions with 10–50 users
- Training tailored to their specific Snowflake environment and use cases
- Hands-on labs, live demos, and open Q&A focused on real problems teams were facing
- Flexible delivery with live and recorded sessions to maximize participation
Training was led by a former Snowflake engineer with 10+ years of hands-on experience, now also teaching Snowflake at the university level.
🟢 The Result
User adoption increased as teams gained confidence using Snowflake, aligned on best practices faster, and applied what they learned immediately in their day-to-day work.
Snowflake training works best when user adoption is considered early and reinforced through real, role-based usage. Tailored enablement turns adoption into long term value.
Whether your organization is just getting started or has years of Snowflake experience, we help teams build confidence, drive user adoption, and unlock the full value of the platform faster and with less risk.
