We pride ourselves on pushing the boundaries of data engineering and analytics, transforming the way our partners and clients approach data projects.  

Databricks-500x120 (1)BJSS empowers clients to unlock deeper insights, optimise decision-making, and drive innovation. This approach allows businesses to handle complex, large-scale data more efficiently, turning raw information into actionable intelligence. Databricks has been a cornerstone of this transformation, allowing us to create accelerators that drastically reduce deployment times and bring value faster than ever before.

The Databricks difference 

Databricks, a unified data analytics platform, is renowned for its ability to simplify data pipelines, streamline data science workflows, and foster collaborative work environments. Our teams have taken these capabilities a step further, leveraging Databricks to create powerful accelerators that significantly cut down the time and complexity of data platform deployments. 

Your data, our expertise: The BJSS and Databricks partnership 

Our strategic partnership with Databricks amplifies our ability to deliver cutting-edge data solutions that drive real value for our clients. As a trusted Databricks partner, BJSS benefits from direct access to the latest platform updates, insights from Databricks experts, and early access to new features and capabilities. This partnership enables us to stay at the forefront of data innovation, ensuring that our solutions are not just current but are setting industry standards. 

Through our close collaboration, we co-develop accelerators and tailored solutions that address specific client needs, significantly reducing time-to-market and operational costs. Our partnership also provides our teams with enhanced training and support directly from Databricks, allowing us to transfer this knowledge and expertise to our clients.  

By working together with Databricks, we bring unparalleled value to every project, helping organisations unlock the full potential of their data faster and more effectively than ever before. 

BJSS’s unique approach: 12 minutes to innovation 

Traditionally, building a data platform had been a lengthy process, often taking up to 6 months and spanning 12 sprints at a two-week cadence or more. However, with our Data EXP accelerator powered by Databricks, we have completely redefined this timeline. In our latest deployment, we were able to stand up a fully operational Databricks environment in just 12 minutes — a remarkable leap from the initial 6-month timeline. 

This reduction in deployment time is not just a technical achievement; it is a game-changer for our clients. By eliminating lengthy platform buildouts, we enable clients to focus on what truly matters: their data. Instead of getting bogged down in platform dependencies and complex setups, teams can dive straight into innovative, value-adding data projects. 

Additionally, the risk and commitment are minimised. By leveraging pay-as-you-go services on Azure or AWS and Databricks auto-scaling clusters, clients pay only for the compute they use and can immediately start experimenting with no upfront cost. In the unlikely scenario that they do not find the value they seek, they can simply turn it off, avoiding months of effort and millions invested in a failed experiment. 

Our Data & AI specialists are driving these transformations by leveraging the full suite of Databricks capabilities. From automated data engineering pipelines to advanced machine learning models, our experts are utilising Databricks’ collaborative workspaces, Delta Lake architecture, and real-time data processing capabilities to deliver faster insights and results. They are not only speeding up deployment but are also enhancing the quality and efficiency of data workflows, empowering clients to harness their data in ways that were previously unimaginable.
