Worldpay - A FinOps Case Study with Snowflake Tableau

Snowflake Tableau cost monitoring system with chargebacks and business unit allocation

As Snowflake SELECT Partners, TaylorMade Software partnered with WorldPay (FIS) to strengthen security auditing and optimize cost transparency across their Snowflake environment on AWS. With strict compliance and budget allocation requirements, the organization needed an automated and scalable solution.

We designed and implemented a Snowflake audit database that captured system metadata and archived it to AWS S3 for real-time monitoring through Splunk. This enhanced the organization’s security posture while reducing audit processing time by 30%.

To provide clear cost attribution across business units, we developed a global Snowflake cost monitoring system. Using Snowflake metadata views and custom schema modeling, the solution delivered daily chargeback dashboards via Tableau Server—improving cost allocation accuracy by 25%.

Our team also built a secure CI/CD pipeline using Terraform, Jenkins, Sqitch, and GitHub to automate Snowflake deployments. We implemented AWS Lambda functions to manage encryption and strengthen data security, reducing deployment errors by 20% and increasing overall governance maturity.

This engagement delivered measurable efficiency, visibility, and security improvements—establishing a robust framework for ongoing Snowflake operations at enterprise scale.
