Utilising Databricks' Lakehouse, we aim to obtain operational data and business intelligence in a more efficient and cost effective way," added Eileen Tan, VP, Digital Customer Experience & Analytics, SATS.

“As the largest car-sharing service in Singapore, Databricks empowered us to harness the power of our massive data streams. With Databricks’ Lakehouse Platform, GetGo is able to unify our data, apply geospatial analysis, and leverage natural language processing (NLP) for quicker insights. Now, we can enhance customer satisfaction, optimise vehicle placement, and improve our security, all while propelling our business forward,” commented Maximilian Jackson, Head of Data Science and Engineering at GetGo Carsharing.

"With the vision of building a leading health AI and platform services company in Asia transforming how health and wellness is delivered to patients and communities, Amplify Health deploys a range of health technology assets, proprietary data analytics and extensive health expertise to insurers and healthcare providers across the region. 

"The Databricks Lakehouse Platform enables us to process large amounts of customer data efficiently in order to calculate members' risk scores and the  capability enables strong data governance," said David Frankenfield, Chief Data and Analytics Officer at Amplify Health.
