DATABRICKS

Ecosystem built for scale No technology platform succeeds in isolation. Databricks works with a broad partner ecosystem, from the major cloud providers – Amazon, Google and Microsoft – to industry-specific system integrators and software companies. Among its partners are Zeb, an AI-native system integrator with deep expertise in logistics and energy; Celebal Technologies, which specialises in manufacturing and energy and works extensively with operational technology data from physical assets; and Tredence, which brings supply chain expertise at scale for some of the world’ s largest brands.

Meanwhile, Kinaxis, the supply chain planning software company, is integrating Databricks technology directly into its next-generation product. Shiv says:“ They see the world very similarly to us – it’ s not just humans monitoring dashboards, it’ s humans and agents collaborating to achieve outcomes.”

Elsewhere, Sigma Computing, a business intelligence platform, enables low-code solutions built on top of Databricks data, giving users a familiar interface without the need to work with data extracts. The integration, Shiv notes, remains tight with the underlying Databricks platform throughout.
