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