Enabling Self-Service Business Intelligence for All: Databricks Ventures Invests in Omni

We’re excited to share that Databricks Ventures has invested in the Series B round of Omni. Omni is a leading next-generation business intelligence and embedded analytics platform that is bridging the gap between the needs of technical data teams and business users. Databricks is also announcing a new partnership with Omni to make it seamless for users of Omni and Databricks to derive insights from the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform. 

Omni is the first business intelligence company in the Databricks Ventures portfolio — a reflection of Omni’s strong business momentum and its modern platform that caters to a breadth of users and use cases.

Why Omni

Omni provides a fast, modern and flexible business intelligence and embedded analytics platform that lets anyone in an organization analyze data and derive insights, regardless of their technical skills. Users can switch between SQL, spreadsheets, AI-assisted exploration and simple point-and-click interfaces, all within the same tool.

At its core, Omni leverages a semantic layer — a single, trustworthy foundation for data — which ensures insights from every interface, including AI, are accurate, reliable, and consistent across teams. With its broad and flexible platform, Omni eliminates the traditional trade-offs between speed, accuracy, ease of use and advanced functionality.

Leading enterprises including BambooHR and Ordermentum use Databricks and Omni together to enable fast, simple self-serve analytics for internal teams - and to deliver sophisticated, customized embedded analytics to their own end customers.

Omni and Databricks: Better Together

Today, we’re also announcing that Omni is an official Databricks Technology Partner! That means that our customers can seamlessly use Databricks and Omni together to analyze and extract insights from data stored in the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform.

​Together, Databricks and Omni are enabling companies of all sizes to accelerate their adoption of trustworthy AI while delivering fast, accessible insights across teams. We look forward to working closely with Omni as they deliver on their vision to help any user — regardless of technical sophistication or choice of interface — make better decisions on their data.
