mindit.io is a Databricks partner and AI-native transformation company, founded in 2015.

What we deliver

What we do for you with Databricks

Our expertise is not a badge. It is the work: end to end, from your legacy estate to AI in production.

We migrate your legacy estate

Oracle, Cloudera, SQL Server, and Synapse moved to the lakehouse with phased, low-risk cutover: Databricks LakeBridge, our own accelerators, and Brickster, our agentic AI migration platform.

Proof: 350TB bank migration

We build your lakehouse

Enterprise lakehouse on Delta Lake: Auto Loader and Lakeflow Connect ingestion, Spark Declarative Pipelines, and Delta Sharing to and from SAP BDC and Snowflake.

Proof: 3rd largest retail lakehouse in Europe

We govern it

Unity Catalog with ABAC, row-level security, and dynamic masking. Lineage end to end, SSO on Entra ID, Clean Rooms for privacy-safe collaboration. Mapped to GDPR, BCBS 239, FINMA, and BaFin, with FinOps and cost governance built in.

Built for regulated industries

We turn data into decisions

Databricks SQL, Genie Spaces for natural-language analytics, AI/BI Dashboards, and Power BI semantic models your business actually uses.

1,500+ reports, 3,000 monthly users

We put AI in production

Mosaic AI end to end: MLflow, Feature Store, Model Serving, Vector Search, and Agent Bricks.

MLOps and governed agents

We make it AI-native

Not AI bolted on. We redesign how your teams and data work so the whole operation runs AI-native on Databricks.

Our reason for being
Use cases

From raw platform to real outcomes

Databricks gives you the engine. These are the outcomes we build on it for Retail and Banking.

Retail

Demand forecasting & replenishment

ML forecasts on Databricks that cut both stockouts and overstock.

Retail

Customer 360 & personalization

Unify customer data and personalize at agent speed, not on yesterday's data.

Banking

Fraud & risk analytics

Real-time scoring and decisioning on one governed platform.

Banking

Regulatory reporting

BankingMigrationDatabricks-funded pilot

350TB from Oracle to the lakehouse for a top EU retail bank

A 20-year Oracle estate, 7,500+ stored procedures and 17,000+ tables and views, consolidated into one governed Databricks platform with LakeBridge, our accelerators, and a wave-based cutover. Databricks endorsed the approach and funded the pilot: 3 use cases delivered in 3 months.

Why Databricks

The platform the best enterprises run on

One platform for data and AI, governed end to end. The foundation we build everything on.

One platform

Engineering, analytics, and AI in one place. No silos, one source of truth.

Integration

Lakeflow ingests, transforms, and orchestrates: managed connectors bring your data in from wherever it sits, governed from day one.

Unity Catalog

Unified governance, lineage, and access control across data and AI.

Genie and agentic AI

Conversational analytics with Genie, AI/BI Dashboards for reporting, and enterprise-grade agentic AI grounded in the context of your business.

How we migrate

The migration engine: accelerators, AI agents, and Databricks tooling

Machinery, not manpower. Our accelerators and agentic AI, combined with Databricks native tools, take you from legacy estate to lakehouse wave by wave.

mindit.io accelerators

Ingestion Accelerator

New data sources onboarded through configuration, not code, on Databricks-native ingestion.

Transformation Accelerator

Standardised medallion transformations with data quality and lineage built in. Days, not weeks.

Automated by design

Fully automated deployments relying on CI/CD tools and declarative Databricks Asset Bundles.

Databricks native tools

LakeBridge

Automated assessment, conversion, and validation of legacy SQL and PL/SQL, with complexity scoring per object.

Built by mindit.io

Brickster: agentic AI migrations

Our own agentic AI platform that converts SQL Server, Synapse, and Oracle workloads into Spark SQL, notebooks, and declarative pipelines. AI does the heavy conversion; engineers own the result.

Close to Databricks

A real partnership, not a logo

"Databricks adoption is a business transformation, not a technical project."
Our consistent point of view: teams that treat the platform as a pure IT migration miss the value. We focus on business integration, so Databricks changes how your whole organization works, not just where your data sits.
FAQ

Questions buyers ask

Direct answers to what enterprise buyers actually ask.

Yes. Databricks is mindit.io's main strategic partner and primary platform. We are a Certified Databricks Partner with 15+ lakehouse platforms delivered, migration and greenfield, across Retail, Banking, Food, and Travel, and we operate the 3rd largest retail data lakehouse in Europe.

We treat it as a business transformation, not a technical migration. We move your data onto one governed Databricks platform, then redesign how your teams and processes work so the whole operation runs AI-native, from analytics to production AI.

Yes. We have migrated Oracle, Cloudera, SQL Server, and Synapse environments, including a 350TB migration for a top EU retail bank, using Databricks LakeBridge, our own accelerators, and Brickster, our agentic AI migration platform.

We built Brickster, our agentic AI migration platform. It converts legacy code into Spark SQL, notebooks, and declarative pipelines, with engineers in the loop and every unit validated until it meets the bar. Cost and quality are tracked in MLflow.

Both. We choose per workload on three decision drivers: operational complexity, automation versus control, and sustainable delivery speed. Spark Declarative Pipelines are native to Databricks and cut operational overhead; dbt preserves portability and full control over transformation logic.

They are complementary planes, not competitors: the fabric sees it, the lakehouse runs it, the mesh owns it, and governance defines the rules. On Databricks we design all three, with the lakehouse as the data plane, mesh as the domain ownership model, and fabric-style visibility through Unity Catalog and federation.

Primarily Retail and Banking, with delivery in Food and Travel, for enterprises in Switzerland and Germany.

Most clients begin with a three to four week Data Infrastructure Assessment, which produces a clear architecture and migration plan with no long-term commitment.

We are DACH's most proven partner. We operate the 3rd largest retail data lakehouse in Europe, bring our own accelerators plus Brickster, our agentic AI migration platform, and treat Databricks adoption as a business transformation, not a technical project.

Yes. FinOps is built into every engagement. For one client we cut compute cost by more than 80 percent while making BI over 65 percent faster.

Yes. We build governance on Unity Catalog with full lineage and access control, mapped to GDPR, BCBS 239, FINMA, and BaFin for regulated Retail and Banking.

Yes. Azure is our primary cloud for Databricks, and we bridge SAP data into the lakehouse. Databricks, Microsoft, and SAP are our strategic partners.
