DoiT Extends Its Cloud Cost Optimization Offerings To The Data Platform Realm With Acquisition

DoiT is buying Select, a developer of automated cost management and optimization technology for the Snowflake data platform.

Solution provider standout DoiT has acquired Select, a developer of optimization tools for the Snowflake platform, in a move to help clients gain visibility and control over their data platform spending.

DoiT will integrate Select’s technology into the company’s flagship DoiT Cloud Intelligence platform and named PerfectScale for Snowflake, extending financial operations automation into the data layer.

That will provide “deep visibility” into Snowflake usage, DoiT said in a statement announcing the Select acquisition, and apply policy-drive automation “to safely reduce waste without compromising performance or data quality.”

“Data platforms have become a financial black box for many organizations,” said DoiT CEO Vadim Solovey (pictured) in the statement. “With Select, we are applying the same automation-first approach that transformed infrastructure FinOps to data platforms. PerfectScale for Snowflake gives customers consistent visibility, governance and optimization across their entire cloud estate, not just compute.”

Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

DoiT, headquartered in Santa Clara, Calif., is one of the leading cloud channel partners for Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure. It is No. 36 on the CRN Solution Provider 500.

The Select acquisition is part of DoiT’s $250 million investment in AI-driven CloudOps and FinOps technology, expanding the solution provider’s intelligent automation service offerings into Kubernetes optimization, architecture visualization and multi-cloud security posture.

In October DoiT bought CloudWize and its multi-cloud security technology, extending the DoiT Cloud Intelligence platform beyond cloud financial management to include intelligent security posture, compliance and automated guardrails, creating a unified platform for managing risk, reliability and cost.

In February 2025 DoiT acquired PerfectScale, a developer of technology for managing Kubernetes operations. That came just after DoiT bought startup LiveDiagrams and its cloud optimization technology in January.

The acquisition of Select expands DoiT’s financial operations automation offerings beyond cloud infrastructure into the realm of data workloads, starting with Snowflake.

In the Select acquisition announcement, DoiT notes that data platforms like Snowflake have become “one of the fastest growing and least transparent areas” of cloud spending. Data management teams often struggle to manage fluctuating data warehouse usage, inefficient queries and “opaque billing with limited automation or governance,” DoiT said.

Select’s Beginnings

Select was founded by data engineers. It’s technology automatically detects inefficiencies such as misconfigured compute resources, inefficient queries and misaligned resource usage, according to DoiT. The Select system continuously enforces optimization policies in real time, translating detailed query and resource telemetry into clear, actionable business outcomes.

“From day one, our mission was to eliminate data platform waste without creating more work for engineering teams,” Select CEO Ian Whitestone said in the announcement. “Joining DoiT allows us to scale that mission globally while accelerating our roadmap to support additional data platforms, including environments like Databricks. Together, we are giving customers a single control plane to manage cost and performance across infrastructure and data.”

DoiT said “the Select team” will join DoiT and lead the continued development of PerfectScale for Snowflake, “playing a central role in DoiT’s long-term roadmap for automated data platform optimization.”

DoiT said PerfectScale for Snowflake will become a “core pillar” of the DoiT Cloud Intelligence platform, “unifying data platform optimization with budgets, cost allocation, anomaly detection and automated workflows.” DoiT clients “will benefit from AI-assisted recommendations that analyze cloud and data telemetry together to execute safe, high-impact optimization actions.”

DoiT said the acquisition will not result in any changes for current Select customers in terms of contracts, pricing, support channels and product functionality.
