Information Services Group (ISG), a leading global technology research and advisory firm, has initiated a new research study to evaluate service providers within the Databricks ecosystem. This study aims to examine how these partners assist enterprises in modernizing their data strategies, optimizing operations, and accelerating the adoption of scalable AI solutions using the Databricks data analytics platform. The findings will be published in a series of comprehensive reports in 2026.
ISG has launched a research study on the Databricks service provider ecosystem.
The study will evaluate providers that help enterprises with data modernization and AI enablement.
It will cover two main service areas: Modernization & AI/ML Enablement and Managed Data & Optimization.
The resulting ISG Provider Lens® reports are scheduled for release in April 2026.
The research will provide enterprises with a vendor evaluation framework for their Databricks initiatives.
This study highlights the growing enterprise reliance on Databricks for unified data and AI strategies.
The upcoming ISG Provider Lens® reports, titled "Databricks Ecosystem Partners," will provide a detailed analysis of service providers that support enterprises in leveraging the Databricks platform. As organizations increasingly adopt Databricks' Lakehouse architecture to unify their data, analytics, and AI operations, the role of expert service partners has become critical. These partners help translate the platform's capabilities into practical solutions for data strategy, secure migration, operational efficiency, and governance.
ISG has structured its research around two primary service categories that reflect common enterprise purchasing patterns. The first is Modernization and AI/ML Enablement Services, which will assess providers on their advisory, architecture, and migration expertise to help businesses modernize data environments and accelerate AI adoption. The second is Managed Data and Optimization Services, focusing on providers that deliver post-deployment support, including operations, automation, and policy-driven governance for ongoing Databricks environment management.
The primary goal of this research is to equip enterprise buyers with the information needed to make informed decisions about their technology partnerships. Aman Munglani, senior director and principal analyst at ISG, stated, “Enterprises see a growing need to harness the full potential of their data using integrated AI capabilities. Databricks and its partner ecosystem are enabling organizations to modernize data environments, improve governance and accelerate the adoption of trusted, scalable AI solutions.” The reports will serve as a vital tool for enterprises to evaluate their current vendor relationships and identify new partners capable of supporting their long-term data and AI objectives.
