Insight has earned Databricks’ top-tier status as an “Elite” consulting partner of the data, analytics, and AI leader. We help clients leverage the Databricks Lakehouse Platform while accelerating the completion of projects in data engineering, data science, machine learning, and business analytics.
Databricks is a key player in the data and AI space for a reason. They provide a powerful platform to easily manage their data architecture. Insight collaboratively offers Databricks clients with a Migration and Modernisation Accelerator with Insight Lens, a generative AI framework to reduce time-to-value for data migration, platform modernisation, and data science and MLOps projects.
We have more than 80 technical teammates who are Databricks-certified — with 50 more on the way soon — underscoring our commitment to providing organizations comprehensive support and guidance on the best tools available throughout their data transformation journey.
We’re also well-aligned with Databricks in our support of the top three public clouds — Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure.

It also contributed to greater care for more than 110,00 patients through the real-time data visibility it enabled.
