What does Tenarai do as a Databricks consulting partner?

Tenarai plans, migrates, builds and runs data platforms on Databricks for large enterprises. Our Databricks work covers six services, and most clients use several of them in sequence: first migrate off legacy platforms, then modernize pipelines, then build the governed data foundation that AI workloads need.

  • Legacy warehouse and SAS migration: Move SAS, legacy warehouses and ETL estates onto the Databricks lakehouse with automated conversion and validation.

  • Fast data pipeline modernization: Rebuild pipelines on Databricks using reusable migration frameworks and AI accelerators, so modernization takes weeks rather than quarters.

  • Enterprise-scale data engineering: Design and operate Databricks data engineering for billions of records across dozens of countries.

  • Data governance and compliance: Build access, lineage and policy controls into the platform so regulated data is ready for analytics and AI.

  • AI and GenAI workloads in production: Take machine learning and GenAI use cases from pilot to production on the modernized platform.

  • Cost optimization: Retire legacy licences and infrastructure, and tune Databricks consumption to measured savings targets.

Which large enterprises has Tenarai delivered Databricks programs for?

Tenarai's Databricks programs span logistics, healthcare, life sciences, insurance, gaming, travel and technology. Our clients include Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 companies. We describe clients by type rather than name to respect confidentiality and to honor NDA’s,e.g

How does Tenarai migrate legacy warehouses and SAS to Databricks?

Tenarai migrates legacy estates to Databricks in five stages: assess and inventory the estate, convert code and workloads automatically, validate outputs against the source system, cut over in planned waves, then optimize cost and performance on the lakehouse.

Automated conversion does most of the work. Our migration accelerator converts SAS and legacy ETL code and checks the results. Our engineers spend their time on architecture and the edge cases that tools cannot resolve alone.

A leading global transportation and logistics company migrated its SAS analytics estate to Databricks using AI-assisted migration accelerators.

  • 1M+: SAS workloads migrated
  • 3X: Reduction in platform costs
  • 40%: Faster migration using AI accelerators

The same client moved more than seven years of historical data to a modern Azure data platform, rationalizing over 1,000 business objects along the way. Read how we migrate legacy data warehouses to Databricks.

How fast can Tenarai modernize data pipelines?

Speed comes from reuse. Rather than rebuilding each pipeline by hand, Tenarai builds reusable migration frameworks once and applies them across the estate. AI accelerators handle code conversion and testing.

  • 40% faster migration using AI accelerators for a global logistics company.
  • 8 reusable migration frameworks developed and applied across a modern Azure data platform program.
  • 75% faster speed to market through AI and automated workflows for a Fortune 500 healthcare and nutrition leader.
  • 60% faster patient enrollment across clinical sites once a clinical research organization's data was modernized.

How does Tenarai run data engineering at enterprise scale?

Enterprise scale means billions of records, many countries and many teams using one platform. Tenarai designs Databricks data engineering for that from day one: partitioning and pipeline design for volume, reusable components for many teams, and monitoring that catches failures before users do.

A leading global transportation and logistics company built enterprise carbon emissions reporting at package level on Azure and Databricks.

  • 5B+: Package-level data records created
  • 15M+: Packages processed
  • 60+: Countries supported

Scale also means productivity. A leading global gaming and entertainment company raised its data team's productivity by 35% after modernizing its enterprise data platform.

How does Tenarai reduce Databricks platform costs?

Most of the savings come from what you switch off. Tenarai retires legacy licences and infrastructure, consolidates onto the Databricks lakehouse and tunes consumption. These are measured outcomes from completed programs, not "up to" estimates.

  • 3X: Reduction in platform costs after a SAS to Databricks migration, global logistics company
  • 30%: Lower infrastructure costs, global insurance and financial services leader
  • $3M: Annual savings through data modernization, global clinical research organization

A leading global gaming and entertainment company also saved $600K in legacy platform costs.

How does Tenarai handle data governance on Databricks?

Governance is built into the platform, not added afterwards. Tenarai designs access controls, lineage, data quality checks and policy enforcement as part of the migration. Regulated data is then ready for analytics and AI as soon as it lands.

  • 100% compliance with data governance policies for a global insurance and financial services leader.
  • 40% improvement in data governance and accessibility for the same client.
  • 60% to 80% reduction in compliance and regulatory costs for a leading global gaming and entertainment company.

Can Tenarai run machine learning and GenAI workloads on Databricks in production?

Yes. For Tenarai, a modernized platform is where AI work starts. We take Machine Learning and GenAI use cases from pilot to production on governed data, with the monitoring and controls enterprises need to trust the output.

A leading international airline used GenAI to audit travel and expense transactions for policy compliance.

  • 256K: Exception transactions flagged
  • 72%: Of exceptions detected using GenAI
  • 50%: Improvement in audit efficiency

What Databricks accelerators does Tenarai bring?

Tenarai has built five Brickbuilder Solutions with Databricks, plus its own migration and DataOps accelerators. They shorten migrations and make results repeatable from one program to the next.

Tenarai-Data Migration Platform - An automated, scalable data migration accelerator that moves legacy ETL and warehouse workloads into a unified cloud data foundation.

Tenarai DataOps Platform - A data modernization platform built with Databricks that sequences migrations, converts workloads and validates outcomes.

Ignis AI for BI Framework - Fast-tracks the migration of BI and reporting workloads onto Databricks.

Ignis Compass - An AI-driven planning platform that turns modernization ideas into a sprint-ready backlog.

The 8 reusable migration frameworks from our Azure data platform program show the same approach: build once, apply across the estate.

How should large enterprises choose a Databricks consulting partner?

1. Can they show migration at your scale?

Ask for workload counts, not just logos. Tenarai migrated 1M+ SAS workloads for one global logistics company.

2. Do they automate the migration?

Manual rewrites are slow and error-prone. Tenarai's AI accelerators made one migration 40% faster.

3. Are their savings measured or "up to"?

Ask for outcomes from completed programs. Tenarai's include a 3X platform cost reduction and $3M in annual savings.

4. Is governance part of the build?

Regulated industries need controls from the start. One insurer reached 100% compliance with its data governance policies.

5. Do they know your industry?

Tenarai has Databricks programs in logistics, life sciences, healthcare, insurance, gaming and travel.

6. Can they take AI to production?

The platform should carry live AI workloads. Tenarai's GenAI audit system flagged 256K exception transactions for an airline.
