Unleashing the Power of the Databricks Marketplace for Media and Entertainment - featuring LiveRamp

In today's data-driven landscape, organizations face the challenge of aggregating data to derive meaningful insights that enrich audience profiles. Traditional data integration methods often fall short, leading to complexity and inefficiency. However, with LiveRamp, a leading data collaboration platform available through the new Databricks Marketplace, and the transformative capabilities of the Databricks Lakehouse, organizations can simplify data aggregation and link audiences across datasets with ease.

The challenge of data aggregation

Aggregating data from diverse sources poses significant challenges for organizations. Siloed data repositories, varying data formats, and incompatible systems make it difficult to derive holistic insights. Traditional data integration methods, such as manual data transfers or rigid ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) processes, often prove inadequate and result in delays, errors, and incomplete views of an audience. Additionally, data quality, privacy, and compliance concerns add further complexity to the aggregation process, requiring meticulous attention.

LiveRamp changes the game

LiveRamp’s platform provides privacy-conscious and configurable collaboration across your organization and external partners to build audiences, activate data, and access actionable insights. This includes enriching your customer data with demographic and psychographic information from AnalyticsIQ, Catalina, Experian, Polk and others, and then collaborating with others using RampID and Databricks Delta Sharing.

Delta Sharing enables seamless and secure data sharing across organizations in real-time, eliminating the need for complex ETL processes or data transfers. Delta Sharing also incorporates robust data governance and security measures, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations while maintaining data integrity.

All of this is now available through the Databricks Marketplace.

LiveRamp is excited to launch data and identity solutions within Databricks Marketplace, enabling brands to connect securely with customers on a more personalized level while maintaining a privacy-centric approach. These solutions offer industry-leading person-based and household-based identity solutions, attribute enrichments, and identity translation solutions for partner data connectivity to accelerate Lakehouse ML and advanced analytics use cases.”
