Introducing Import Jobs

We're excited to launch a new Import Jobs feature, which provides a direct Snowflake integration for you to easily bring your data into Exabel. This furthers our goal of helping customers analyze all their alternative data in one place, leveraging Exabel’s analytics to combine data sets and derive differentiated insights.

With a few clicks, Exabel customers can build live data pipelines that connect to an existing Snowflake data warehouse, run queries to extract data, and schedule regular data imports. Onboarding new data sets, a process which used to take days or weeks of data engineering effort, can now be accomplished in minutes by a non-technical user. Investment teams will be able to more rapidly evaluate and integrate new data sets, and begin generating alpha insights.

Import Jobs is currently available in beta. In the past month, we’ve been using this internally to onboard data partners through our Insights Platform program, and have been excited by the early results. We’re now excited to open this up externally and work with early customers to refine & test this feature in the weeks ahead - please contact your account manager to join the beta program, or reach out for a trial of the Exabel platform.

Import Jobs has feature-parity with the Exabel API & SDK in terms of functionality & performance, and additionally provides scheduling of regular imports, all through a point-and-click user interface.

While only Snowflake is supported initially, we are keen to work with customers to understand what other integrations are important to them. Import Jobs is designed to be extensible to any ODBC-compatible data source.
