Data Elephant

Databricks AI/BI and Genie are redefining self-service analytics. Databricks recently released a beta feature to migrate legacy BI in minutes! Less dashboard sprawl. Less dependency on technical teams. More conversational access to trusted enterprise data. With Genie, business users can ask questions naturally, explore insights faster, and reduce the friction between data and decision-making - while organizations maintain trust, security, and governance. To help organizations explore these capabilities and realize value quickly, we’ve built three focused offerings at Data Elephant: 🔹Legacy BI Migration Services A structured approach to modernizing reporting and analytics from legacy BI platforms to Databricks AI/BI. 🔹AI/BI & Genie Workshop A half-day session to identify high-value use cases, assess readiness, and align on a practical path forward. 🔹Genie Quickstart Get Genie live on your governed data in weeks, not months — accelerating time to value while keeping security and adoption front and centre. The goal isn’t just deploying new technology. It’s helping organizations get faster, trusted insights from the data platform they already invested in. Whether you’re exploring, migrating, or ready to build, we meet you where you are and help you move quickly with clarity. If your team is evaluating Databricks AI/BI or Genie, let’s connect. #DatabricksGenie #DataElephant #BI #DataStrategy #Databricks #Modernization

Does this problem sound familiar? Fragmented data stacks do more than slow teams down. They can create real blockers for safe, effective AI adoption. With the rise of new AI tooling it is important to ensure governance and minimize risk across the data stack. If this is something your team is struggling with, our team is ready to help!

Today we welcome Kiran Dhillon to Data Elephant as an Intern for the summer! Kiran will be supporting a blend of internal and client projects while with us, leveraging her studies and working experience while she completes her Bachelor of Commerce at UofA! Welcome to the team, Kiran! We're excited to have you.

We keep seeing the same pattern: executive enthusiasm, scattered pilots, mounting tech costs - and no clear path to production. The problem is rarely the tools. It's that the underlying data, governance, and strategy aren't in place to support them. At Data Elephant, we help senior leaders cut through the noise and build a foundation that actually scales. Check out our AI readiness framework here and reach out if you'd like to explore how we can help: https://lnkd.in/gSp7bMQy
