Case Study: HP, Inc. achieves unified analytics and real-time IoT insights with Databricks

HP centralized their data for faster campaigns with federated query pushdown

HP Inc., formed in 2015 from the split of Hewlett‑Packard, builds printers, PCs and services with a mission to “engineer experiences that amaze.” As HP scaled into IoT and real‑time device management, it faced siloed data across multiple systems and legacy data‑warehousing tools that created heavy DevOps work for its data science teams.

Databricks delivered a scalable, unified analytics platform that simplified Apache Spark management, enabled analysis of streaming data from more than 20 million devices, and let teams focus on ETL and machine learning instead of infrastructure. The result was faster collaboration and higher productivity across analysts, data scientists and engineers, plus improved ability to predict product issues and uncover new customer services.
