[NEW YORK, NY] — Lumenalta has advanced to the Silver Partner tier within the Databricks Brickbuilder Partner Program. This designation reflects sustained investment in technical excellence, delivery maturity, and strategic alignment with Databricks, the data and AI company.
Achieving Silver tier represents a meaningful progression in our partnership and reinforces our ability to support enterprise organizations in modernizing data foundations and operationalizing AI at scale.
