Altair Partners with Databricks

Altair has partnered with Databricks, the data and AI company, to empower joint customers with capabilities for data unification, graph-powered intelligence, and enterprise-grade artificial intelligence (AI).

This partnership combines the capabilities of the Altair RapidMiner platform, a tool for data preparation, AI development, and automation, with the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform. Customers can access and analyze data housed in Databricks while applying Altair's suite of tools to build AI automation and modernize data operations.

"Through this collaboration, we are helping customers not just analyze their data but truly activate it—transforming fragmented data into intelligent systems that can learn, reason, and act," says Sam Mahalingam, chief technology officer, Altair. "Together, Altair and Databricks are redefining the future of data science and analytics."

Customers can leverage Altair RapidMiner's data preparation, machine learning, and deployment capabilities to extract insights from their data in Databricks. This collaboration helps advance accessible and scalable AI and machine learning solutions, companies note.

"We've been impressed by Altair's innovative approach to data preparation and machine learning," says Ariel Amster, director of strategic technology partners, Databricks. "Our partnership will leverage the benefits of Altair RapidMiner and the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform to help customers explore, analyze and take action on data at scale."

Enabling Enterprise Modernization
