Under the agreement, EXL will build a robust team of Databricks-certified talent and deploy new data management and generative AI (GenAI) solutions into the Databricks ecosystem, speeding the development of cutting-edge data management solutions for EXL clients.

EXL will leverage the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform, which enables companies to unify all their data and AI to, help clients fully harness their data for advanced analytics and AI applications. In addition, over the next several months, EXL plans to train and certify data engineers and data scientists in the Databricks ecosystem.
