Managed Databricks
Managed Databricks is the foundation behind your data, live in one week
Managed Databricks is your fully managed data and AI platform. It’s the place your business data lives, stays secure, and get turned insights with which your team can make decisions on. Decision-making and taking action all happen in a day, not after someone spent a week pulling numbers from five different systems. We build it, secure it, and run it. You get a production-ready platform in one week, for a fixed monthly cost, no piling bills or teams of expensive engineers to build it yourself. Live within 1 week. Secure, scalable, and production-ready.
Intelligence modules unlock the real value of your data
Need help unlocking the value from your data once the foundation is ready? Our optional intelligence modules are what you need. We have developed multiple modules on a wide range of frequent use cases, including Genie Spaces, Compliance Reporting, and setting up ML workflows, that we can deploy within a week on your Managed Databricks platform. Need something specific for your organisation? We’re happy to hear what you need, build it for you, and keep it running!
The same standardized Managed Databricks base (Foundation + Accelerators), with Intelligence Modules tailored to your specific business need, activated individually on top.
Most organizations are stuck reporting on the past
A dashboard only tells you what has already happened. It doesn’t tell you what to do next. This gap in decision making compounds every quarter, while some organizations keep reviewing last month’s numbers, others are already acting on this week’s data and looking into the future. Most organizations already collect and store data. That was never really the hard part. The harder question is whether you’re using it to decide anything yet.
Why building it yourself is more costly than you think
Every dashboard or AI model you build sits on top of your data infrastructure. If that foundation isn’t solid, everything built on it becomes fragile as well. This fragility shows up as broken pipelines, inconsistent numbers, and models nobody trusts. Building your own foundation from scratch also means competing for data engineers in a market where they’re scarce and expensive, while the underlying technology keeps moving faster than most internal teams can track.
What we deliver, and what changes for you
We connect every data source you already have, your CRM, your operational systems, your IoT devices, whatever you’re running, into one platform, and we keep it running from there. Concretely, that means:
- One place to look, not five. No more pulling numbers from separate systems before anyone can make a decision.
- Numbers you don’t have to double-check. Data gets cleaned and validated automatically before it reaches a dashboard, by the time your team sees it, it’s already been verified and ready to use.
- Real-time decisions, not last month’s report. You’re working off what’s happening now, not reconstructing it after the fact.
- AI that scales without a new infrastructure project every time. Once the foundation is there, adding a new AI use case doesn’t mean starting from zero again.
- Access that stays correct as your team changes. Who can see what is controlled from one place, so a new hire, a role change, or someone leaving doesn’t mean IT manually updating permissions across multiple systems, and risking a mistake in the process.
You don’t configure any of this yourself, and you don’t maintain it after. It’s already running when we hand it to you.
DIY vs. contractor vs. Managed Databricks
| Do it yourself | Contractor | Managed Databricks | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Time to value | 6+ months | 3–6 months | 1 week |
| Platform management | Fully in-house | Reactive, on request | Proactive & continuous |
| Proven approach | Trial and error | One approach | Battle-tested across 100+ implementations |
| Access to expertise | Build internally | Limited, individual | Gold Partner, fully certified team |
| Intelligence | Build from scratch | Not in scope | Weeks after go-live, proven modules |
| Cost: foundation | 1–2 FTE | €800–1,200/day, no continuity | €3K/month |
| Cost: intelligence | New specialist per domain | New project, new budget | Modules & connectors, modular pricing, one platform |
Your Databricks platform, fully managed
We deliver a production-ready platform, fully configured, secured, and managed from day one. Beyond the setup itself, here’s what stays taken care of on an ongoing basis:
- You always know what it’s costing you. Real-time cost visibility, with us actively working to keep your cloud bill down, not just reporting it after the fact.
- You can see the platform’s health at a glance. No separate monitoring tool to set up, no waiting for IT to tell you if something’s wrong.
- You’re never the one applying the patch. Security updates and maintenance happen on our end, before they become an incident on yours.
- Works with whatever cloud you’re already on. AWS, Azure, or GCP, no need to switch providers.
- A fixed investment: from €3,000 per month. That’s less than a third of the total cost of one full-time platform engineer.
From foundation to concrete business cases
Once the foundation is live, you’re not looking at another IT project, you’re activating use cases your team can put to work immediately.
FAQ
A ready-to-use data and AI platform that turns your business data into insight you can act on immediately, instead of spreadsheets or dashboards that only show you what already happened.
Building it yourself typically takes 6+ months and competes for data engineers in a market where they’re scarce and expensive. Managed Databricks skips that entirely: your platform is live within a week, for a fixed monthly cost well below what an internal team would cost.
The platform is fully working in week 1. Weeks 2 and 3 connect your first data sources and deliver your first dashboards and results. By month 2, the foundation is stable enough to start activating AI modules.
AI only works as well as the data underneath it. Managed Databricks builds that foundation first, which is what makes modules like “Talking to your data” possible almost immediately, letting anyone in your organization ask questions in plain language, like “What’s next month’s revenue forecast?”
Yes. Access to every piece of data is controlled from one central place, so there’s no ambiguity about who can see what, and no risk of a permission getting missed as your team grows. You retain full ownership and control of your data; we’re responsible for keeping the platform current against the latest security standards.
