Airbrx: Empowering Data-Driven Strategy Through Managed Platforms

The genesis of Airbrx was rooted in a fundamental belief developed over the last 20 years: that managing the intricacies of infrastructure platforms should not be a core strategic focus for businesses. Data is an asset. Big data needs to be collected, managed and structured for a company to be able to leverage that data quickly, easily and with confidence. We believe that a well designed Lakehouse is key to corporate agility.

Ben Tallman, Amit Beria, Michael Bissell, and Stephen Shannon, each seasoned business and data experts, recognized that many organizations were diverting valuable resources and talent towards maintaining these platforms, hindering their ability to drive strategic data initiatives.

Their shared experiences highlighted core, critical challenges:

The Liability of Non-Strategic Infrastructure:
Companies expend significant effort managing complex Spark and Airflow deployments, distracting them from their ability to focus on data analysis and business outcomes.

The Power of Managed Platforms:
They understand that leveraging managed platforms like Astronomer and Databricks liberate businesses from infrastructure management, allowing them to concentrate on their core competencies.

The Need for Strategic Value:
They see a clear demand for a consultancy that not only provides technical expertise but also enables businesses to strategically leverage their data assets.

Driven by this vision, Ben, Amit, Michael, and Stephen have founded Airbrx with the mission to empower organizations to focus on data-driven strategy. Their goal was to provide comprehensive solutions that:

Shift Focus to Strategic Outcomes:
Enable clients to redirect their strategic assets—their people—towards analyzing data and driving business outcomes, rather than having huge teams managing infrastructure.

Leverage Managed Platforms:
Facilitate the seamless integration and optimization of Astronomer and Databricks, allowing clients to benefit from these powerful managed platforms.

Deliver End-to-End Solutions:
Provide expert data engineering, consulting, and managed services, ensuring clients have the support they need to achieve their data goals.

Team-Centric Expertise:
Provide teams of highly skilled experts that work directly with clients to solve complex problems.

Airbrx was built on the principle of freeing businesses from the burden of infrastructure management, allowing them to unlock the true potential of their data. By strategically leveraging managed platforms like Astronomer and Databricks, Airbrx enables clients to focus on what truly matters: driving innovation and achieving business success.
