Story
Niantic grew governed analytics faster than the local tools around it. From the United States, communication services teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer. Analysts and finance partners were the ones stitching the picture together by hand.
Rolling out Databricks SQL put enterprise reporting on Databricks. Databricks provides a lakehouse platform for data engineering, analytics, and AI, with Unity Catalog and Mosaic AI for governed models. Niantic keeps the product in the path where work already happens, so analysts and finance partners do not context-switch into a graveyard system used only for audits.
The visible result is steadier enterprise reporting. Governed analytics is easier to inspect, and adjacent groups can join analysts and finance partners without a guided tour of someone's desktop.
