Accenture and Databricks Lakehouse Accelerate Digital Transformation

 
To keep pace with the competition and address customer demands, companies are looking to quickly bring new capabilities to the market, boost innovation and scale more efficiently. Customers set out to achieve these results by leveraging the cloud to set a strong foundation for their digital transformation and deliver greater value at speed and scale. But today, most businesses have a significant amount of investments and data already stored on their on-premises systems. Currently only 20% of businesses are in the cloud, moving the other 80% rapidly and cost-effectively is a big change that requires bold new solutions and services.

For a company to successfully move to a cloud provider, such as Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud Platform, the first thing they need to address is the current state of data, which is difficult to access, maintain and manage when it is siloed and fragmented across legacy systems. Therefore, IT needs a unified cloud data architecture that supports various data types which is easily manageable, efficient and future-proof.

Having a streamlined data platform brings together everything needed to innovate -- data, people, partners, processes and technology. To facilitate innovation, organizations can leverage the Databricks Lakehouse Platform, supported by an open architecture that combines the best data management features of data lakes and data warehouses on low cost storage. By implementing a lakehouse architecture, organizations are able to derive value from their data lake quickly and easily by sharing data securely, analyzing data at scale and applying machine-learning models effectively.
