Better Together: Powering Autonomous Networks with Trusted Data + Agentic Operations

Advancing Telecom Autonomy Through Trusted Data and AI

The collaboration between Sutherland and Snowflake is grounded in a shared vision to advance telecom autonomy through trusted data and intelligent operations. The partnership was established through a TM Forum Catalyst project showcased at DTW Ignite 2025 in Copenhagen, where Sutherland and Snowflake worked closely together with industry partners to demonstrate AI driven approaches to autonomous network operations.

Building on that foundation, the two companies are now partnering again with leading Tier-1 US Telecom Provider as Champion on a new TM Forum Catalyst initiative that will be showcased at DTW Ignite 2026. From AI powered RAN optimization to data driven network intelligence, this work reflects a joint commitment to solving real operational challenges and helping the telecom industry move toward scalable, resilient, and autonomous networks. Together, Sutherland and Snowflake continue to work alongside the industry to turn innovation into practical outcomes that can be applied in real world networks.

What We’re Building Together

Telecom operators are under pressure to modernize operations – but adoption of new technologies is cautious by design. Network environments are mission-critical, data is highly sensitive, and operational risk is real.

That’s why autonomy cannot be delivered through AI in isolation. It requires a secure, scalable data foundation that brings together network, OSS/BSS, and operational signals – so automation is trusted, measurable, and repeatable.

Together, Sutherland and Snowflake enable operators to move from fragmented insights to actionable intelligence – powering faster decision-making, automated workflows, and a clear, practical path toward higher levels of network autonomy.
