IMO Databricks is your one-stop platform for Enterprise data engineering, analytics, and AI, combining the flexibility of a Data Lakehouse with the innovation of Generative AI and governed with Unity Catalog.

I do. I like the platform. However, the pricing complexities in terms of DBUs could lead to a certain degree of complexity. I would be cautious when evaluating some of the pricing models for your core and nice-to-have capabilities that you would like to capitalize on. Their roadmap looks good in terms of adopting emerging technologies in this space. However, it is a long shot to consider if the core itself is struggling to keep up the pace.

We've been using Databricks for some years now. Only surprised by the complex pricing model based on DBU's. During contract renewal we experienced that the commercial people hardly understand it themselves.

we are exploring them for a number of different opps including a PoC we are doing now with their AI platform to parse unstructured data and populate fields in ERP (SAP) to improve accuracy and speed.

Is anyone working on automation of EA Practice activities such as design and/or roadmap development through the use of AI tools? This could include but not be limited to strategy, analysis, solution development, governance submissions, standards review, white papers etc. We are using ARIS as an EA repository and are considering the use of the AI companion or perhaps even standalone AI tools to import, process, analyses & publish. Happy to discuss ideas for future implementation.

Is your organization pursuing large-scale AI enablement, such as enterprise-wide access to tools like Microsoft Copilot, or are you focusing on high-value use cases within specific functions? Why have you chosen that approach?

We are in the early stages of planning a Workday Financials implementation and are evaluating the best approach for a MVP deployment. Given the scale and complexity of Workday Financials, we're particularly interested in understanding if anyone recommends or observes as best practices for MVP deployment models. Specifically, we’d like to know: Does anyone have a suggestion a phased or modular rollout for core financial modules (e.g., GL, AP, AR)? Is there a baseline configuration or functional scope typically considered MVP for Workday Financials? How do organizations balance quick time-to-value versus long-term scalability and integration when adopting Workday Financials as MVP?
