Data scientists must often turn gigabytes or terabytes of data, collected from trillions of sources, into valuable insights by finding new ways to make their work with data more solid. Spatial analysis has become a critical piece of data science tools, enriching all forms of data with geographic context. This allows analysts to discover patterns, make predictions and optimize workflows to create operational efficiencies. To support the needs of these professionals, the Esria global leader in location intelligence, has partnered with Databricks, data and AI company. The collaboration will provide users with advanced spatial analysis capabilities of Esri’s ArcGIS software, easily accessible on Databricks’ big data platform, the Databricks Lakehouse Platform.
“The Databricks Lakehouse Platform brings together data engineering, data science, machine learning and analytics on a single platform, and in many cases, customers also need a powerful spatial component,” said Roger Murff, Vice President of Partnerships of Databricks product. “By having geoanalytic tools run directly on Databricks, it empowers users to perform spatial analysis with the platform at the scale they expect.”
Among Esri’s offerings that integrate with the Databricks Lakehouse Platform are the ArcGIS GeoAnalytics Engine and the Big Data Toolkit, which are purpose-built to enable users to perform spatial analysis on large data sets.
“Organizations and data professionals using Databricks need access to the spatial tools where they do their daily work,” said Richard Cooke, Director of Global Business Development at Esri. “The solutions that Esri is providing allow data scientists to access the most comprehensive set of spatial analysis tools available natively within the Databricks environment.”
