o9, a leading enterprise AI software platform provider for transforming planning and decision-making, announced a partnership with Databricks, the Data and AI company. The partnership enables joint clients to accelerate time to value by simplifying how up-to-date data managed in Databricks is connected to o9’s Digital Brain platform.

Enterprises are dealing with more data than ever, and turning that data into decisions is critical for building supply chains that are both agile and resilient. By combining Databricks’ Data Intelligence Platform, which unifies data, analytics and AI, with o9’s AI-powered platform for integrated planning and decision-making, the partnership helps enterprises move faster from data to decisions so they can better respond to volatility and complexity.

By bringing Databricks data directly into o9’s Digital Brain platform, clients can get their digital supply chain models running faster, run what-if scenarios with greater confidence, and align decisions across planning horizons. This helps enterprises improve service levels, use capacity and inventory more efficiently, and strengthen coordination across functions. The integration uses Delta Sharing, Databricks’ open source approach that enables customers to share live data across platforms, clouds and regions with strong security and governance. This reduces manual integration work, avoids unnecessary data copies, and helps planners work with current information inside o9’s platform.
