Flywheel Certified as Databricks "Registered" Service Partner

Flywheel Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Naoto Yokoyama; hereinafter referred to as Flywheel) is pleased to announce that it has been certified as a "Registered" Service Partner by Databricks Inc. (Headquarters: San Francisco, California, USA; hereinafter referred to as Databricks), a global leader in data and AI.

As the full-scale utilization of generative AI progresses, the importance of "AI-Ready Data"—data infrastructure prepared for AI utilization—is rapidly increasing for companies, even more so than the advancement of AI models. With this certification, Flywheel will strengthen its system to provide end-to-end support from data infrastructure construction to business implementation by integrating Databricks' data lakehouse concept with its proprietary data utilization platform "Conata® (Konata)".

Background

In many enterprise companies, data dispersion and silos often result in AI and advanced analytics initiatives remaining at the Proof of Concept (PoC) stage. Databricks' platform is globally expanding its adoption as an architecture that integrates the reliability of data warehouses with the flexibility of data lakes, enabling organizations to build and scale data and AI applications, analytics, and agents while ensuring governance.

Flywheel has been providing end-to-end support to enterprise companies, particularly in the manufacturing and distribution industries, from data infrastructure construction to algorithm implementation and business application. Through this partner certification, Flywheel will combine Databricks' robust lakehouse foundation with Flywheel's strengths in data utilization design and business implementation capabilities to achieve higher-quality and faster value creation.

Value Proposition

Going forward, Flywheel will provide consistent services in Databricks product license sales, implementation support, and data migration support from existing environments.

In particular, we will strengthen solutions that seamlessly connect integrated, high-quality data on Databricks to specific business actions such as "business process efficiency improvement," "demand forecasting," and "personalization" using Flywheel's "Conata®." This will enable enterprise companies to achieve business results (ROI) in the shortest possible distance, not just by building data infrastructure.

Comment from Naoto Yokoyama, CEO and Representative Director of Flywheel Inc.

"In the era of generative AI, competitiveness is determined not by the AI models themselves, but by 'AI-Ready Data (data infrastructure ready for AI utilization)'. Through our collaboration with Databricks, we will further accelerate the implementation of AI-Ready Data. We will provide end-to-end support from data infrastructure construction to business implementation, contributing to the improvement of decision-making and competitive advantage for Japanese companies."

Future Outlook

Flywheel will continue to strengthen its collaboration with Databricks, accelerating the modernization of data infrastructure and the promotion of generative AI utilization in enterprise companies.

In pursuit of our mission to "turn data into energy for people," we will strive to create further value as a partner that converts data and AI into tangible business results.
