Still relying on Oracle for day-to-day transactions? It may have done the job, but times have changed. AI and machine learning are no longer optional; unstructured data is everywhere. Oracle’s rising costs — along with its limited scalability — can stall your progress.

Wondering How to Switch Faster?

Azure Databricks offers an all-in-one platform for data engineering, analytics, and AI, which is secured by Azure. You can test everything in just four weeks through a guided MVP (Minimum Viable Product). Think of it like a low-risk “test drive” to see how well it fits your needs.

Why Should You Consider Moving Oracle Data Warehouse to Azure Databricks?

1. Mounting Licensing Costs: As your business grows, Oracle fees can climb dramatically taking the budget away from areas that truly spark innovation.
2. Scaling Hurdles: Whenever you need more processing power, Oracle’s hardware upgrades and procurement steps can become a long and winding road.
3. Lagging AI and ML: Older Oracle systems weren’t really built for high-speed analytics or complex machine learning, making it hard to keep up with modern needs.
4. Unstructured Data Challenges: Images, text, sensor data—managing all these in Oracle can be a struggle, slowing down progress in a world that demands flexibility.

Why Azure Databricks?

1. Pay-As-You-Go Compute: Avoid paying for idle resources. You’re charged only for what you use.
2. Unified Analytics: Manage structured and unstructured data together — then layer AI on top.
3. Built-In Security: Tap into Azure’s governance and permission models for peace of mind.
4. Speedy Insights: Process data fast and unlock near-instant analytics.

Get Started with a 4-Week MVP

With our 4-Week MVP for Oracle Data Warehouse to Azure-Databricks Data Intelligence Platform, we will set up your Azure-Databricks environment with access control, ingest two targeted datasets, load historical data on Oracle into the Databricks Lakehouse, build out two meaningful dashboards with their semantic models, and lay the blueprint for future growth.

In just four weeks, you’ll:

1. Set Up a secure Databricks environment in your Azure subscription.
2. Ingest data from two sources (including any historical files) for testing.
3. Create two dashboards to track the metrics that matter most to your team.
4. Map Out how to scale for broader data and analytics needs.

What’s Included?

• Assessment Report : A thorough review of your Oracle environment, plus key risk areas to watch.
• Architecture Blueprint: A visual guide showing how storage, compute, and security come together in Azure Databricks.
• MVP Data Platform: A functional “Lakehouse” setup connected to your go-to visualization tools.
• Infrastructure Setup: Everything is created, configured, and secured within Azure.
• MVP Migration: Two data pipelines, plus a working dashboard or report.
• Training Sessions: Learn how to query data, streamline data flows, and explore AI features.
• Enterprise Rollout Plan: Practical tips to expand the platform across all business units.
• Business Value Summary: TCO (total cost of ownership) and ROI insights to guide your budgeting.

Key Benefits

• Governance from the Ground Up: Leverage Azure’s default security and compliance.
• Business-Focused Approach: Start with datasets that matter so you see immediate returns.

After the MVP

When your pilot concludes, you’ll have an Azure-based data environment ready for:

• Advanced AI & ML: Develop machine learning models or experiment with generative AI.
• Real-Time Insights: Stream data for up-to-the-minute analysis.
• Self-Serve Exploration: Empower teams to dig into data without waiting on IT.

A Strategic Leap

Switching from Oracle Data Warehouse to Azure Databricks can make your business more agile and data-driven. In four weeks, you’ll see real dashboards, a roadmap for scaling, and a working proof of modern analytics in action. If Oracle’s limitations are dragging you down, here’s your chance to harness AI, tap into real-time data, and break free from outdated barriers. It’s time to turn raw information into meaningful insights — faster than you ever thought possible!
