Sponsored by: Slalom | From Legacy Drag to AI Value: A Framework for Databricks AI Success

Enterprise AI success is not just about models or platform selection. It depends on prioritizing the right work for AI, proving measurable business value, enabling the organization to adopt new ways of working, and reducing the drag of legacy systems. In this session, Slalom shares a practical framework for scaling AI on Databricks using accelerators mapped to each part of that equation. We will show how VelocitiIQ helps modernize legacy data platforms, how Lakefoundry turns ideas into executable Databricks solution plans, how the AI Value Platform builds confidence through ROI modeling and prioritization, and why organizational enablement is essential for moving from pilots to production. Attendees will leave with a simple, actionable model for connecting modernization, value realization, and AI adoption at scale.
