Story
Materials work at WestRock spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in the United States. Governed analytics was splitting across regional habits. Analysts and finance partners asked for a shared way to run enterprise reporting without freezing local judgment.
Databricks (Unity Catalog) is what they standardized on. Databricks provides a lakehouse platform for data engineering, analytics, and AI, with Unity Catalog and Mosaic AI for governed models. WestRock uses it as the system of record for governed analytics, with analysts and finance partners as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
