Databricks has appointed Indonesian technology consultancy Insignia as a strategic delivery partner under the invitation-only Databricks Delivery Provider Program (DPP). This strengthens the data and AI company’s enterprise presence in Indonesia as organizations look to move their artificial intelligence projects from pilot to operational stage.
The partnership, effective June 30 and formalized with a signing ceremony in Jakarta, will see Insignia become a certified delivery extension of Databricks’ Forward Deployment Engineering (FDE) team. The company said Insignia is the second Indonesia-based company to be granted membership in the DPP, a designation given to partners with advanced technical capabilities in the deployment of enterprise data and AI platforms.
As part of the agreement, Insignia will establish a dedicated Databricks delivery unit to jointly deliver data transformation, machine learning and MLOps programs for companies across sectors including banking, fintech, retail and national enterprises.

The global agreement will also enable both companies to support multinational organizations operating in Indonesia, as well as assist Indonesian companies in their international expansion.
Databricks said the partnership comes as many Indonesian companies seek to realize tangible returns from their investments in generative AI but continue to face challenges in deploying applications at scale. Fragmented data environments and legacy infrastructure prevent many proof-of-concept projects from moving into production systems, requiring stronger data foundations and governance.
Joseph Bosco, FDE, APJ Partner Manager at Databricks said: “But technology alone cannot transform a business; execution does. Insignia has proven the technical depth and delivery discipline we look for in a DPP partner, and we’re excited to build this together.”
Under the partnership, Insignia will design and deploy an enterprise data platform using Databricks’ lakehouse architecture and Unity Catalog governance platform. The companies also offer end-to-end machine learning and generative AI deployments supported by MLOps capabilities, allowing enterprises to manage, monitor, and update AI models post-deployment.
The partners said the service is designed to bridge the gap between successful demonstrations and production-ready systems, which they say is the biggest hurdle to enterprise AI adoption in Indonesia.
“This is not a decoration on your office wall,” said Richard Ho, Insignia’s managing director. “What this means is simple: banks, retailers or state-owned enterprises in Indonesia can now fix their data infrastructure using a local team certified and directly supported by Databricks. Same standards, same escalation paths, no guesswork. For many boardrooms, it changes the risk calculus.”
The partnership also aims to support highly regulated industries by combining Databricks’ data governance capabilities with Insignia’s knowledge of Indonesian regulatory requirements.
“Almost every company we meet tells the same story: their AI demo went well, but then the project stalled,” said Guta Saputra, business director at Insignia. “And usually it’s not the model that’s the problem; it’s the underlying data. Through this partnership, we can fix the foundation and deployment in one certification package. Our clients no longer have to pay a lot of money for trial and error.”
The companies said the partnership is already in the operational phase, with joint architectural workshops planned to align engineering teams on Databricks’ latest lake house and governance framework. Databricks provides the platform, engineering support, and architecture methodology, and Insignia provides certified local engineers, platform architects, and generative AI specialists to design, migrate, and maintain the enterprise environment.
Databricks says its data and AI platform is used by more than 20,000 organizations around the world, including 70% of Fortune 500 companies.
