o9 Solutions, a provider of supply chain planning platforms, announced on October 23rd that it has entered into a partnership with Databricks, a data and AI company.
This partnership will enable both companies' common customers to simplify the process of integrating up-to-date data managed by DataBricks into the o9 Digital Brain platform, thereby accelerating value realization.
By directly integrating with the digital brain, companies can more quickly implement digital supply chain models, run more accurate what-if scenarios, and align decision-making across all planning timelines, leading to improved service levels, more efficient use of production capacity and inventory, and enhanced interdepartmental collaboration.
The integration utilizes DataBricks' open-source approach, Delta Sharing, enabling customers to share live data across platforms, clouds, and regions under robust security and governance. As a result, manual integration tasks are reduced, unnecessary data copies are avoided, and planners are always working with the latest information within the o9 digital brain.
Furthermore, businesses are handling unprecedented amounts of data, and leveraging that data for decision-making is essential to building supply chains that are both agile and resilient. By combining DataBricks' data intelligence platform, which integrates data, analytics, and AI, with o9 Digital Brain, businesses can accelerate their data-to-decision-making process and respond more effectively to today's volatility and complexity.
