Experian has released two new Snowflake Native Apps to help organizations manage data quality and audience segmentation. The tools allow users to process and enrich information directly within the Snowflake AI Data Cloud, ensuring data remains protected and under organizational control.

By integrating these services directly into the Snowflake environment, Experian aims to reduce technical complexity for businesses. This approach enables firms to improve contact data accuracy and create marketing segments without the need to move sensitive information outside their secure infrastructure.
The new Audience Activate tool provides 85% digital connectivity to UK households. A free trial for the Contact Data Validation app is currently available for interested organizations.
