It’s proof that when our clients hand us their most sensitive data, they’re handing it to a team that’s been tested and validated, not just self-declared,” said Damien Chan, North American CEO and Global CRO at Adastra.Get the latest headlines, breaking news and columns.By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.A welcome email is on its way.

Please try againA Rigorous, Evidence-Based StandardThe Databricks Brickbuilder Specialization is a formally assessed status that partners earn against a defined set of requirements. To qualify, a partner must show certified technical and sales expertise, live customer implementations already running on the platform, named customer success stories, and ongoing published thought leadership. Because the assessment is based on recent, verifiable work and must be renewed regularly, clients can trust that the expertise behind the badge is current, not historical. The Security & Governance specialization carries an additional requirement: a live technical assessment conducted in front of Databricks’ own specialist teams.What This Means for Adastra’s ClientsDatabricks has validated Adastra’s ability to build solutions for banks, insurers, and FinTechs across fraud detection, risk management, and regulatory reporting. For clients, this means turning scattered data trapped behind compliance rules and aging systems into governed records that catch fraud and satisfy regulators in near real time, so they can protect the customers who rely on them.Adastra’s work in predictive maintenance, defect detection, and inventory optimization has met Databricks’ standard for proven delivery in industrial settings. For clients, this means turning constant streams of sensor data into decisions made as events happen, rather than reports that arrive too late to act on, so they can deliver safer, more dependable products to the communities they support.The most demanding of the three to earn, this badge required a live technical walkthrough in front of Databricks’ Unity Catalog specialists. For clients, this means turning a scattered, ungoverned collection of data into one that people can find, is secure, and stands up to an audit, so they can prove they are worthy of the sensitive information their own customers hand over to them.Adastra is a global leader in data, AI, and cloud consulting and implementation, and a Databricks Premier Tier Services Partner.
