Databricks

About Databricks

Databricks is a unified data analytics and AI platform built on Apache Spark that brings together data engineering, data science, and machine learning in a single collaborative environment. It handles everything from raw data ingestion and transformation to model training and deployment — which means your data team can work in one platform instead of stitching together five different tools.

For Australian businesses sitting on growing volumes of data — customer transactions, operational logs, IoT sensor feeds, marketing data — Databricks provides the infrastructure to actually do something useful with it. Its lakehouse architecture combines the flexibility of data lakes with the performance of data warehouses, so you get both cheap storage and fast queries without maintaining two separate systems.

Where Databricks connects to our work at Osher is in the automation and integration layer. Raw data sitting in a lakehouse is only valuable if it feeds into business processes. We help businesses connect Databricks outputs to downstream systems — triggering AI agents based on model predictions, feeding analytics into dashboards, or piping processed data into CRMs and operational tools through system integrations. The platform is powerful, but the value comes from what you do with the results.

If your data infrastructure has outgrown spreadsheets and basic SQL databases, or if your data team is spending more time on pipeline maintenance than actual analysis, Databricks is the kind of platform that consolidates that complexity. Paired with automated data processing workflows, it becomes the analytical engine driving decisions across your organisation.

How it works

We work hand-in-hand with you to implement Databricks

Step 1

Assess Your Data Landscape

We audit your current data sources, storage systems, processing pipelines, and analytics tools to understand what you have, where it lives, and what’s not working. This assessment reveals whether Databricks is the right fit and what migration or integration work is needed.

Step 2

Design the Lakehouse Architecture

We design your Databricks workspace structure — data storage layers (bronze, silver, gold), access controls, compute cluster configurations, and connection points to upstream data sources. The architecture is planned to handle your current data volumes with room to grow.

Step 3

Build Data Ingestion Pipelines

We configure automated pipelines that pull data from your source systems into Databricks — databases, APIs, file drops, streaming sources. Each pipeline includes data validation, error handling, and logging so you know exactly what’s flowing in and can trace any issues quickly.

Step 4

Implement Transformation and Analytics

Raw data gets cleaned, joined, and transformed into analytics-ready datasets. We build the SQL queries, notebooks, or scheduled jobs that produce the metrics, reports, and model-ready features your business needs. This is where messy data becomes actionable insight.

Step 5

Connect Outputs to Business Systems

Processed data and model predictions get piped to where they create value — dashboards, CRM fields, automated workflows, or API endpoints. We use integration tools to connect Databricks outputs to your operational systems so insights translate directly into action.

Step 6

Train Your Team and Hand Over

We train your data team on the Databricks environment, covering daily operations, troubleshooting, and how to extend the platform as your needs evolve. Documentation covers architecture decisions, pipeline logic, and maintenance procedures so your team can run things independently.
