Hex Unveils No-Code Tools For Data Teams And Business Collaboration, Bolstered By Snowflake Investment

Hex has announced the introduction of end-to-end no-code workflows, aimed at enabling data teams and less technical domain experts to collaboratively explore data. This enhancement extends Hex's capabilities to a broader audience, including finance, operations, product, engineering, sales, and marketing teams. These new features are designed to assist users in answering complex questions with data without requiring advanced technical skills.

The latest features of Hex’s no-code capabilities include Warehouse Data Browsing, Spreadsheet-Style Calculations, and Endorsed Statuses. Warehouse Data Browsing allows users to preview and import warehouse data without writing queries. This feature makes it easier for non-technical users to find and analyze data.

Spreadsheet-Style Calculations enable users to run spreadsheet formulas within Hex tables. This familiar interface allows business stakeholders to manipulate data effectively. Endorsed Statuses signify assets that are official and approved for use, helping maintain trust as more people work with data.

Hex’s strategic partnership with Snowflake has been pivotal in expanding its user base and functionality. Snowflake's recent investment supports Hex’s growth into new user segments. For over two years, Hex has collaborated with Snowflake to offer scalable data science workflows globally.

Hex’s integration with Snowpark facilitates rapid data exploration, predictive analysis, and operationalization through interactive data apps. Harsha Kapre, Director at Snowflake Ventures, emphasized the importance of this partnership in delivering powerful data tools to customers.
