Palantir and Databricks Announce Strategic Product Partnership to Deliver Secure and Efficient AI to Customers

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., March 14, 2025 — Databricks, the Data and AI company, and Palantir Technologies Inc.,  the world’s leading provider of enterprise operating systems, today announced a strategic product partnership that combines Palantir’s world-class AI operating system and Databricks’ leading platform for AI, data warehousing, and data engineering. The partnership will provide an open and scalable data architecture that combines Palantir’s powerful Ontology System with Databricks’ processing scale and industry-leading data and AI platform. With battle-tested improvements for joint customers in the field, Palantir and Databricks are delivering real-time, AI-powered autonomous workflows to customers through the integration of the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform and Palantir AIP. Through the combination of Unity Catalog through Delta Sharing and Palantir’s multimodal security system, joint customers will be able to unlock the power of GenAI, machine learning, and data warehousing within a secure, unified and scalable environment.

Customers want to maximize the value of their data by delivering AI-powered business processes without massive costs. This partnership lowers the technical and operational barriers to leveraging GenAI and increases customer value by efficiently deploying autonomous workflows into production. Through joint engineering, customers can consistently govern and secure their entire data estate with a combination of Databricks’ Unity Catalog and Palantir’s military-grade security so enterprises can build on a trusted foundation while maintaining efficiency and keeping TCO low. The integration of Databricks and Palantir is already serving a range of mission-critical outcomes for customers across both the public and private sectors – including the Department of Defense, the Department of the Treasury, the Department of Health and Human Services, bp, and others.
