Persistent Systems Achieves Databricks Brickbuilder Specialization for Healthcare and Life Sciences​

Persistent Systems, a global leader in Digital Engineering and Enterprise Modernization, announced it has achieved the Databricks Brickbuilder Specialization for Healthcare and Life Sciences (HLS). This recognition validates the company’s capacity to deliver production-grade, governed data and AI solutions utilizing the Databricks Data Intelligence platform.

The specialization strengthens Persistent's standing in assisting providers, payers, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device organizations. These sectors rely on the recognition to accelerate clinical development, improve patient outcomes, and operationalize AI across highly regulated environments.

HLS organizations face increasing pressure to expedite clinical trials, shorten drug discovery timelines, and generate real-world evidence. Traditionally, legacy architectures struggle to integrate diverse datasets, including clinical records, genomics, imaging, and patient data. Persistent addresses this challenge by leveraging the Databricks Data Intelligence platform to unify these disparate data sources into a governed, AI-ready foundation. This foundation enables enhanced trial design, faster cohort identification, biomarker discovery, and the creation of scalable evidence platforms.

The solutions delivered are production-grade and regulatory compliant, enabling organizations to scale AI beyond isolated pilot studies. These solutions ensure accuracy, governance, and interoperability across clinical, Research and Development (R&D), commercial, and operational workflows.

Underlying this capability are core Databricks technologies. The architecture utilizes Delta Lake for a reliable data foundation supporting AI and compliance requirements. Unity Catalog provides intelligent governance to monitor data and derive trusted insights, while Mosaic AI facilitates secure model development and deployment for use cases such as patient risk prediction, clinical trial optimization, and pharmacovigilance.

The partnership between Persistent and Databricks continues to grow through co-creation and go-to-market initiatives focused on measurable business outcomes across the HLS ecosystem. The company noted that it is a Global Systems Integrator partner for Databricks at the Silver Tier, possessing over 900 certifications and a growing portfolio of accelerators on the Databricks Data Intelligence platform.
