Platforms
Written By Rick Watson

Matillion helps teams get data business-ready, faster — accelerating time-to-value and increasing the impact data can have.

Databricks Ventures invests in innovative companies that align with our view of the future for data, analytics and AI; and are committed to extending the lakehouse ecosystem or using the lakehouse architecture to create the next generation of data and AI-powered companies.

Enterprise Data Integration Vendor Matillion takes money from two rivals and does two things: collecting data from various sources and transforming it into a format that can be used by data infrastructure like Snowflake and Amazon.

Matillion competes with data integration vendors like FiveTran.
