WEBINAR: Evergreen Data & AI: How PE-Backed Firms Keep Momentum with Managed Services

Private equity-backed businesses are built to move fast. But without a strong operational backbone, even the best data and AI initiatives risk stalling once the initial delivery phase ends.

‍

This webinar explores how Colibri’s Evergreen Data & AI Ops model helps high-growth firms sustain momentum, keeping platforms running smoothly, optimised for cost, and ready for the next wave of innovation.

‍

We’ll be joined by our customer Expana, a leading market intelligence provider, to share how they’ve laid the foundations for long-term transformation with a modern, scalable data platform.

‍

While they currently manage operations in-house, their journey shows how building the right platform early on sets the stage for future managed service adoption and why some firms may want to consider Evergreen-style support from day one.

‍

Together, we’ll explore:

‍

• How Expana tackled post-M&A complexity to build a unified platform

‍

• Why platform readiness is key to unlocking long-term value

‍

• What comes after delivery—and how different firms approach the “Evergreen” question

‍

• Databricks insights: what’s needed to keep AI pipelines healthy, governed, and fast
