Databricks (Unity Catalog) is what they standardized on. Databricks provides a lakehouse platform for data engineering, analytics, and AI, with Unity Catalog and Mosaic AI for governed models. Asahi Kasei uses it as the system of record for secure data sharing, with data platform and lines of business as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
