DXC Technology cuts platform TCO 30% and builds 11 AI agents using Databricks Data + AI Platform
DXC TechnologyDatabricks Data + AI Platform · Delta Lake · Unity Catalog +3
DXC Technology, a global IT services company with fragmented systems from years of mergers, used the Databricks Data + AI Platform (Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, MLflow 3.0, and the Genie conversational assistant) to unify data across sales, HR, finance and project management. DXC built 11 AI agents (3 in production, 8 in pilot or development), reduced time-to-insight from months to days, and validated a 30% reduction in platform total cost of ownership.
Overview
DXC Technology, a global IT services company with fragmented systems from years of mergers, used the Databricks Data + AI Platform (Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, MLflow 3.0, and the Genie conversational assistant) to unify data across sales, HR, finance and project management. DXC built 11 AI agents (3 in production, 8 in pilot or development), reduced time-to-insight from months to days, and validated a 30% reduction in platform total cost of ownership.
The challenge
DXC Technology inherited a patchwork of siloed systems, fragmented data sources and redundant workflows from years of mergers. Every team had its own tools and "version of truth," which slowed collaboration and made decision-making cumbersome. Previous AI attempts hadn't delivered, leaving teams wary of models they didn't understand, and DXC's multicloud architecture — data in Azure, compute in AWS — needed a platform that could simplify complexity without adding more overhead.
The solution
DXC selected the Databricks Data + AI Platform to consolidate its data, analytics and AI initiatives. It used Delta Lake to unify data ingestion from systems such as Workday, Salesforce, financial tools and legacy data marts; Unity Catalog to provide governance, consistent access policies and data lineage tracking; MLflow 3.0 to track experiments, manage model versions and deploy pipelines; and Genie, Databricks' conversational AI assistant, to let business teams in sales, finance and IT query data using natural language without building dashboards or writing SQL. DXC built 11 AI agents to enhance business processes across sales, HR, finance and project management, with 3 already in production and 8 in pilot or development.
Reported business value
DXC cut time-to-insight from months to days for key business reports and validated a 30% reduction in platform total cost of ownership (TCO) after migrating to Databricks (validated by the finance team, Q2 2025).

HP crafts marketing campaigns that resonate with customers using Databricks and Uniphore
HP centralized first-party customer data on the Databricks Data + AI Platform with Delta Lake and Unity Catalog, and connected it to Uniphore's HybridCompute for federated query pushdown, cutting campaign setup from 2 weeks to 2 hours and processing 400 million records in seconds.
Building a safer and more sustainable world
Novade, a construction management software company, partnered with Databricks to modernize its analytics and ML infrastructure, moving from a homegrown Apache Airflow stack to the Databricks Data + AI Platform with Delta Lake, Unity Catalog and MLflow. The move reduced total cost of ownership by 60% and supported a 100% increase in new clients, while enabling ML models for predicting incident risk affecting worker safety and project delivery schedules.
SafeGraph optimizes geospatial data processing with Databricks and Delta Sharing
SafeGraph used the Databricks Data + AI Platform, Delta Lake, Delta Sharing and MLflow to process petabytes of geospatial data and feed predictive models, achieving 2x-10x faster spatial querying, indexing and partitioning and a 50% reduction in peak memory consumption compared to other platforms, while reducing data access time for partners from months to minutes via Delta Sharing.
Transforming Weather Forecasting with Lakeflow Jobs
AccuWeather migrated from on-premises infrastructure to Databricks and Lakeflow Jobs, working with Datadog for observability, to unify diverse weather data formats and orchestrate 4,500+ weekly jobs. Lakeflow Jobs coordinates the ingestion of multiple weather models, triggers machine learning processes that weight and blend different forecasts, and manages complex job dependencies for reinforcement training workflows used in AccuWeather's proprietary forecasting engine. AccuWeather reports 3x faster dataset development (three months to one month per dataset), a 50% reduction in unactionable alerts, and 50% cost savings on serverless job usage.
