phData awarded 2025 AWS Design Partner of the Year award. Press Release - Dec 1, 2025 22:15 EST phData recognized as Design Partner of the Year winner, among a select group of AWS Partners around the globe that help their customers drive innovation. LAS VEGAS, December 1, 2025 (Newswire.com) - phData is excited to announce it is a recipient of a 2025 Geography and Global AWS Partner Award, recognizing leaders around the globe who are playing key roles in helping their customers drive innovation and build solutions on Amazon Web Services (AWS). phData has been named the winner of Design Partner of the Year, US and Canada, recognizing organizations that develop software or hardware that runs on or is integrated with AWS and have achieved a marquee design win with demonstrable regional impact. Announced during the Partner Awards Gala at AWS re:Invent 2025, the Geographic and Global AWS Partner Awards recognize a wide range of AWS Partners that have embraced specialization, innovation, and cooperation over the past year. Geo and Global AWS Partner Awards recognize partners whose business models continue to evolve and thrive on AWS as they support their customers. This recognition highlights phData's Vendor Procurement AI Agent solution, an agentic checkout automation built with Amazon Bedrock (Amazon Nova-Act), AWS Lambda, and Amazon ECS to execute end-to-end vendor orders autonomously with guardrails and auditability - turning hours-long workflows into minutes and creating a repeatable foundation for high-volume purchasing automation. "Winning the 2025 AWS Design Partner of the Year award is an incredible honor and a testament to our team's obsession with building secure, scalable solutions on AWS," said Sam Mehlhaff, SVP, Partnerships and Marketing at phData. "We're excited to continue innovating for customers on AWS, leveraging advanced services to scale intelligent automation and turn real-world complexity into predictable, repeatable outcomes." "We've been on AWS since day one, and with Amazon Nova-Act, we're able to automate complex workflows in a way that's both scalable and reliable," said Tom Jaklitsch, Co-Founder & CTO at Order.co. "Our partnership with the phData team has provided the foundation to design a highly scalable agentic AI solution on AWS that streamlines order placement across any vendor website, regardless of site-specific complexities, and I would highly recommend them to others in the industry." The Geography and Global AWS Partner Awards included a self-nomination process across several award categories, awarded at both the geographic and global levels. All AWS Partners were invited to participate and submit a nomination. Award submissions were reviewed by a third-party, Canalys, and selected with special emphasis placed on customer success use cases. In addition, there were several data-driven award categories, which were evaluated by a unique set of metrics that helped measure AWS Partners' performance over the past year. Canalys audited the datasets used to ensure that all measurements and calculations were objective and accurate. Finalists represented the top three-ranked AWS Partners across each category. The AWS Partner Network (APN) is a global program focused on helping partners innovate, accelerate their journey to the cloud, and take full advantage of the breadth and depth of AWS.

phData Advisor Tool Gets a Streamlit-Powered UI for Faster Snowflake Insights

phData Advisor tool gets a streamlit-powered UI for faster Snowflake insights. phData, Inc is thrilled to introduce a new Streamlit user interface for the phData Advisor Snowflake Native Application. This interface makes setup and operations effortless while retaining the power of procedure-based automation. In this blog, phData, Inc'll explore its key features, configuration, and how to use the UI daily. What is the Advisor Snowflake Native Application? The phData Advisor tool is widely available on the Snowflake Marketplace as a native application that helps you effectively manage your Snowflake environment by providing insights into account configuration, security, performance, and efficiency. The Advisor tool scans your environment with a set of pre-configured checks to identify areas for improvement and provides recommendations. The scan results are saved in your Snowflake account and visualized in an interactive HTML report. You can also customize the checks and even create your own. For additional details on how to utilize the Advisor tool, please refer to this blog post outlining the top 5 use cases of phData's Advisor tool. Advisor user interface features. The Advisor UI has two pages: a configuration page and a dashboard page. NOTE: When you first open the UI, you will be prompted to grant the privilege below to access the ACCOUNT_USAGE schema. Without this privilege, the application cannot access the Snowflake database, and the majority of the checks will fail. Configuration page. * Enabling all checks (required) * Enabling email alerts * Granting application permissions to roles other than ACCOUNTADMIN * Viewing and upgrading the license * Configuring custom checks Enabling all checks. To provide a comprehensive scan of the account, users must execute the SQL provided in this section. This additional SQL creates a wrapper procedure that allows the native application to get the results of SHOW statements, which native applications cannot execute. After running this SQL, scanning will be enabled in the dashboard page. Enabling email alerts. This procedure, along with notification integration and tasks, executes scans on a schedule and configures email notifications for new reports. Granting application permissions. To allow other roles to access the application, grant the application role to the desired role. Viewing and upgrading the license. The Advisor application displays the current license type, its expiration date, and instructions for generating an authentication token to upgrade to a pro license. Configuring custom checks. Users have the flexibility to configure new custom checks, as well as modify or remove existing ones. The configured custom checks are available for download directly within the application. The Advisor dashboard page is your single cockpit for operating the Advisor tool and viewing scan results. You can scan, regenerate report urls (they expire after 7 days), and refresh results using dedicated buttons. The interface includes a data table with previous scan results, so you can easily view previous scans. Getting started. The phData Advisor Snowflake Native Application is easier to configure and use than ever before! If you want valuable insights into your Snowflake account, get started with the Advisor tool today! Contact phData, Inc to learn more about the Advisor Native Application and other applications. phData, Inc also recommend exploring its tools in phData's Toolkit.
