Siemens

Compliance at scale. Trust at every layer.

Siemens used dbt to build modular, governed data pipelines across federated teams. The result: 100% compliance in a highly regulated environment—and a foundation ready for AI.

Already in our first dbt Cloud project we were amazed by the seamless collaboration dbt Cloud offers, allowing us to effortlessly work together on the same Snowflake project. With built-in tests, simple job scheduling, and easy deployment, dbt Cloud enabled us to immediately focus on the business case rather than spending time on our data architecture setup.
