Story
Sophos did not need another dashboard that nobody opened. It needed enterprise reporting to move. In the United Kingdom, analysts and finance partners already knew where governed analytics went wrong: too many copies, too little ownership, and a close process that waited on the loudest inbox.
Databricks SQL from Databricks is now in that path. Databricks provides a lakehouse platform for data engineering, analytics, and AI, with Unity Catalog and Mosaic AI for governed models. The company treats it as production tooling for enterprise reporting, which is why analysts and finance partners live in it rather than exporting from it once a quarter.
Sophos can show how governed analytics is handled today. That is the value: a repeatable way to run enterprise reporting on software the rest of the industry already recognizes.
