Case Study: Dish Network achieves 50% faster data processing and 35% cost savings with Databricks

Dish Network - Customer Case Study

DISH Network, a pay-TV pioneer serving 12 million customers through satellite TV and Sling TV and building IoT/5G services, faced slow, hard-to-scale legacy infrastructure and siloed data science teams that hindered collaboration and their ability to predict subscriber churn.

By adopting Databricks’ unified analytics platform, DISH moved to fully managed, serverless infrastructure, an interactive multi-language workspace, and MLflow to streamline the ML lifecycle and enable white‑glove outreach to at-risk subscribers. The rollout cut data processing times by 50% and reduced processing costs by 35%, while improving cross-team productivity.
