At this yearโs Data + AI Summit, we introduced Databricks One, a new experience that brings the power of data and AI to every employee through a clear and focused user interface. That announcement began our journey to remove barriers that have limited insights to technical teams working in specialist tools.
Today, Databricks One enters Public Preview. Available across all clouds, this milestone represents a significant step toward true democratization, where deep insights and AI-driven analysis are no longer the domain of specialists but part of every employee's work.
Why Databricks One Matters
Organizations have long struggled to extend the reach and benefits of data and AI beyond technical teams. Business users often face steep barriers: costly BI licenses, a fragmented tool landscape, inconsistent definitions of KPIs from one team to the next, and long waits for support from technical experts. These obstacles limit adoption and prevent data from shaping everyday decisions.
Databricks One directly addresses this gap. It provides a simple, unified experience where every employee can engage with trusted insights in a governed environment. Business users gain the ability to ask questions in plain language through Genie, explore AI/BI Dashboards grounded in consistent metrics, and interact with purpose-built Databricks Apps, all without specialized training.
For administrators and IT teams, Databricks One reduces cost and complexity. A single entitlement makes it possible to onboard large groups of business users quickly, while Unity Catalog ensures consistent governance, access controls, and auditability. The result is broader adoption without compromising security or trust. Best of all, Databricks One is included for free as part of the Data Intelligence Platform.
