How We Earned the Specialization
Achieving the Databricks Brickbuilder Specialization requires significant investment in technical expertise, customer success, and industry innovation.
Deep Technical Expertise
As part of the specialization requirements, partners must maintain a highly skilled team with advanced Databricks certifications and specialized industry knowledge. Perficient’s team of data engineers, consultants, architects, and AI specialists brings extensive experience designing and implementing scalable data and AI solutions on the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform.
Our expertise enables clients to address some of the industry’s most pressing challenges, including siloed data across legacy systems, growing volumes of operational data, and the increasing need for real-time business insights. By leveraging technologies such as Delta Lake, MLflow, Photon, and Databricks SQL, we help organizations build modern data foundations that accelerate innovation and operational efficiency.
Proven Industry Impact
Databricks evaluates partners on their ability to deliver measurable value for organizations across manufacturing, transportation, and energy. Perficient has helped clients improve and improve important business operations. For example, a leading Midwest energy provider had a hard time getting accurate screen-scraping reports for field operations. This caused safety concerns for field teams.
We used Databricks and Microsoft Power BI to centralize and display location data to understand if supervisors were providing proper oversight of their teams in the field, resulting in a more consistent measurement of team movement to give management better and more reliable insight into field operations.
When a leading global mobility solutions provider had an abundance of inefficient, outdated, and individual platforms for its data management, we implemented Databricks Delta Tables and Workflows to stream unorganized customer data into one unified platform. Our solution increased data accessibility, visibility and accuracy.
Solutions like these empower organizations to improve product quality, reduce costs, increase asset reliability, and make faster, data-driven decisions across their operations.
Commitment To Thought Leadership
Another component of the specialization is a demonstrated commitment to advancing industry knowledge through thought leadership. Databricks requires partners to continually contribute insights that help organizations navigate emerging opportunities in data, analytics, and artificial intelligence.
Perficient continues to publish research-driven perspectives (From Data to Trust: Powering Battery Passports Through Databricks AI) that help manufacturing, transportation & energy leaders understand how modern data platforms and AI technologies can drive innovation, accelerate decision-making, and create sustainable competitive advantage.
Why This Matters to You
Manufacturing, transportation, and energy organizations face increasing pressure to improve efficiency, reduce costs, strengthen resilience, and accelerate innovation in an increasingly data-driven world.
Success depends on the ability to unify data across operations, assets, suppliers, customers, and business systems while establishing the governance and scalability needed to support AI initiatives.
The Databricks Brickbuilder Specialization signals that Perficient possesses both the technical capabilities and industry knowledge required to help organizations successfully execute these initiatives. Whether your goal is to improve supply chain performance, optimize asset operations, modernize data infrastructure, or scale AI across the enterprise, Perficient brings the strategy, implementation expertise, and industry context needed to accelerate outcomes.
