In this session, we’ll share the story of how Apotex transformed a chaotic data environments into the backbone of smarter, faster, and more confident decision-making tools like Databricks Lakeflow. You’ll hear the highs and lows, the wins as well as the missteps, and the pivotal moments that reshaped how teams think and work through data. Compass will also share their latest insights how clients are developing Databricks GenAI applications (yes a few architecture diagrams!), and what it truly takes for organizations to be ready for them.
