Lenovo will work with businesses to help them use data management capabilities.

Lenovo has joined forces with Databricks to drive artificial intelligence (AI) adoption among its customers. As a Databricks Consulting & Systems Integration (C&SI) Select Tier Partner, Lenovo will work with businesses to help them use data management capabilities, streamlining access to data from multiple sources, Lenovo reports.

The offering will run through the Lenovo AI Center of Excellence (AI CoE), designed to help customers put AI to work with solutions that bring AI from ideation to reality, according to Lenovo. Working with the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform, Lenovo will help businesses bring data sources together, allowing them to increase use of generative AI and improve their data analytics capabilities. The Lenovo AI Center of Excellence (AI CoE) will provide services to help customers define outcomes and innovate with the Databricks Platform.

“Our latest study showed that 90% of the CIOs we surveyed see AI as either a must do or game changer, yet over half feel their organizations lack the technical skills to scale AI quickly,” says Linda Yao, chief operating officer and Head of Strategy, Lenovo Solutions & Services Group. “By adding Databricks to Lenovo's ecosystem of leading software vendors, we can further enable our AI for all vision and bring the technology to a broader set of customers.”

Starting in the greater China and Asia-Pacific Region, then rolling out globally, Lenovo will offer expertise in solutions and services for data management, including cloud, data and AI strategy, data platform modernization, data migration, pre-built code for quick implementation, optimization, governance and audit management, and AI and machine learning use cases.

“Our partnership with Lenovo showcases our unwavering commitment to democratize data and AI for all organizations. We are proud to see our relationship with Lenovo transform from customer to key partner. Together, we are driving unprecedented innovation, accelerating growth, and delivering exceptional value to our customers on the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform,” said Greg Taylor, VP of Partners, Databricks.

The new offering forms part of Lenovo’s AI Services practice that provides training and tools to help customers maximize their use of AI.

To support customers globally, Lenovo announced a comprehensive AI services portfolio aligned with the Gartner Five Critical AI Adoption Phases. The Lenovo AI CoE aims to accelerate these services and use cases to deliver faster outcomes, the company reports.

“With an experienced and expert team on hand, our collaboration with Databricks will accelerate AI readiness and move customers closer to responsible and efficient AI adoption,” adds Art Hu, senior vice president & chief information officer for Lenovo, and chief technology and delivery officer for Lenovo’s Solutions and Services Group. 

Lenovo’s work with Databricks builds on a relationship that started in 2022, with Lenovo creating an enterprise-level global data warehouse through Databricks and Azure services. 

With its experience as an implementation partner for Databricks, Lenovo is able to provide data and AI solutions based on Lenovo’s Hybrid Cloud infrastructure.
