The new ETQ QDL provides an analytics-ready database. With cutting-edge Snowflake data cloud technology, customers can more easily access, manage, share, and analyze their quality assurance data to draw more value through richer, actionable insights.

“A well-architected data lake is essential for managing and improving quality at scale. It empowers teams with timely, unified access to quality data, enabling deeper insights, faster root cause analysis, and more proactive decision-making,” says David Isaacson, ETQ, vice president, product marketing. “We recognize that many customers are already using Snowflake as part of their enterprise tech stack, so our enhanced quality data lake powered by Snowflake now allows them to easily and seamlessly access ETQ Reliance data. All customers benefit from data-driven analytics that expand the capabilities of ETQ Reliance and drive predictive quality management to new heights.”
