Is your Databricks environment helping or hindering innovation? At first, it's pure acceleration. 🚀 Data professionals explore freely, teams move fast, and everyone has the access they need. Databricks delivers on its promise of innovation and speed. Then you scale.. and everything changes ⛔ : - Data scientists and analysts wait weeks for access - Platform engineers become permission administrators - Business leaders lose track of data usage Innovation slows as governance grows. The freedom that made Databricks powerful becomes its biggest governance challenge. Kris Peeters talks to customers facing this challenge every day. Join us online next week to learn how to solve this in a sustainable way. Link to register: https://lnkd.in/dWBgzsxJ --- 🏷️ #databricks #datagovernance #datastrategy #datascience
