Sanrio Runs Applied Machine Learning with Databricks
Sanrio, a consumer discretionary organization in Japan, uses Databricks SQL from Databricks to support applied machine learning for data scientists and ML engineers.
Value results
| Category | Value result |
|---|---|
| Capability | Applied machine learning stays visible to adjacent teams through Databricks SQL |
| Capability | Data scientists and ML engineers work from the same Databricks SQL record for feature pipelines |
| Capability | Feature pipelines can be reviewed without waiting on a personal export |
Story
Sanrio did not need another dashboard that nobody opened. It needed applied machine learning to move. In Japan, data scientists and ML engineers already knew where feature pipelines went wrong: too many copies, too little ownership, and a close process that waited on the loudest inbox.
Databricks SQL from Databricks is now in that path. Databricks provides a lakehouse platform for data engineering, analytics, and AI, with Unity Catalog and Mosaic AI for governed models. The company treats it as production tooling for applied machine learning, which is why data scientists and ML engineers live in it rather than exporting from it once a quarter.
Sanrio can show how feature pipelines is handled today. That is the value: a repeatable way to run applied machine learning on software the rest of the industry already recognizes.
