Problem
As demand for data-driven insights grew, CKDelta's existing Teradata environment couldn't keep up: data pipelines were slow, analysis was limited in complexity and costs ballooned as usage scaled, while different clients' wildly different needs (raw data vs. full dashboards) added engineering overhead and made repeatability difficult.
…s optimizing EV charger placement. But as demand for data-driven insights grew, CKDelta’s existing Teradata environment couldn’t keep up. Despite the relatively small amount of data at the time, it was still too large to process efficiently or with sophistication. Data pipelines were slow, analysis was limited in complexity and costs ballooned as usage scaled. Additionally, different clients had wildly different needs — some wanted raw data, while others needed full dashboards. Meeting both added engineering overhead and made repeatability difficult. Will Thurley, Senior Data Scientist at CKDelta, explained, “We are completely p…
Solution
CKDelta selected the Databricks Data + AI Platform to unify data engineering, data science and analytics across telco operations, consolidating diverse back-end systems into a single consistent environment; it uses Unity Catalog as a step toward serverless compute so teams can automatically scale jobs without provisioning infrastructure, and its utility and retail teams use MLflow to manage model development, versioning and experimentation.
