A leading European energy provider faced challenges in moving to Databricks due to heavy workloads, limited technical expertise, and delivery inefficiencies. Optima helped design and implement a structured migration approach that reduced operational pressure, upskilled teams, and enabled a smooth transition to the new platform.
Context:
The organisation needed to migrate to Databricks to improve data accessibility and keep pace with customer needs. However, stretched teams and technical gaps risked delays. Optima helped by clarifying objectives, assessing readiness, and delivering a plan that reduced constraints and enabled sustainable adoption.
What we delivered:
A phased migration plan with built-in quality assurance to safeguard data integrity
Automation of manual processes to reduce inefficiencies and ease workload
Practical training and enablement to build confidence in using Databricks
A framework of governance and ways of working to embed the platform sustainably
Outcome:
Key datasets migrated successfully, giving the business reliable and accessible data
Faster access to insights to inform decision-making and adapt services to customer needs
Reduced strain on delivery teams through streamlined workflows and automation
Stronger in-house capability and improved staff morale through skills development and lighter workloads
“This project showed the value of combining structured delivery with targeted enablement. By reducing operational pressure and equipping teams to adopt Databricks with confidence, we ensured the migration delivered immediate benefits while creating the foundations for sustainable data use.”
