Award Significance

The top-tier accolade, "Data Drivers of the Year," is reserved for organizations that best embody the spirit of being data-driven. Awarded companies like NTT Docomo are recognized for their outstanding execution of cloud data analytics strategies, fostering innovation, enhancing agility in business operations, accelerating decision-making processes, and enriching customer experiences.

Why NTT Docomo?

As Japan's largest telecommunications provider, NTT Docomo integrates data from its telecommunications and smart life services, including d points, into the Snowflake platform.
