Colibri Digital Achieves Databricks Select Partner Status

We’re delighted to share some exciting news: Colibri Digital has been promoted to Select Tier Partner status with Databricks, one of only 28 Select Partners in EMEA.

‍

This achievement places us among an elite group, unlocking even more ways for our customers to accelerate innovation. It also marks a significant milestone in our journey to help organisations harness the full power of the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform.

‍

Why This Matters

‍

Databricks is at the forefront of data and AI innovation, enabling enterprises to unify analytics, machine learning, and governance in one powerful platform. As a Select Partner, Colibri now has enhanced access to resources, tools, and incentives that directly benefit our clients by accelerating delivery and unlocking more value from their data.

‍

For our customers, this means quicker results, smarter solutions, and access to innovation that few partners can offer. But it’s not just a milestone for us, it’s a direct advantage for every organisation we work with.

‍

“Achieving Select Partner status is a real accelerator for our customers. With enhanced access to Databricks tools, resources, and incentives, we can deliver faster proof-of-concepts, unlock new industry-specific solutions, and ensure our teams stay ahead of data and AI innovation. 

‍

“This means our customers see value much sooner, reduce data project risks, and gain a more competitive edge in how they harness their data.”
