Story
Inside Heineken, enterprise reporting used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in consumer staples groups working out of the Netherlands. Analysts and finance partners needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Heineken uses Delta Lake from Databricks as the working layer for governed analytics. Databricks provides a lakehouse platform for data engineering, analytics, and AI, with Unity Catalog and Mosaic AI for governed models. The practical change is simple: enterprise reporting has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Heineken gets from Databricks is a durable place to run enterprise reporting and a way for analysts and finance partners to see the same governed analytics at the same time.
