Blueprint Technologies Recognized as Databricks Unity Catalog Partner of the Year

On June 10, 2025, at the Data + AI Summit held in San Francisco, Blueprint Technologies was honored with the prestigious title of 2025 Databricks Unity Catalog Partner of the Year. This award is a testament to Blueprint's exceptional contributions towards enhancing Unity Catalog adoption and strengthening enterprise data governance strategies.

Significance of the Unity Catalog

Unity Catalog serves as a crucial element in Databricks' governance strategy, making it integral for organizations that aim to modernize their data environments. Blueprint's innovative approach, particularly its proprietary Lakehouse Optimizer (LHO), has been pivotal in providing efficient assessments for Unity Catalog migrations. This tool aids clients in organizing their data assets methodically. It performs detailed evaluations of Hive Metastore assets, effectively identifies both active and inactive objects, and maps out code dependencies. As a result, Blueprint delivers tailored recommendations for each database, table, notebook, and job, significantly reducing the complexity and uncertainty around data migrations.

Why Blueprint Stands Out

Ryan Neal, President of Blueprint Technologies, emphasized the importance of governance in consumption-based platforms, stating, "Any consumption-based platform must have governance in place. It's not a nice-to-have; it's mandatory if you want to scale effectively, avoid overspending, and build trust in your data.” Neal further explained that Blueprint has dedicated years to developing methodologies and tools to make governance both real and repeatable. The combination of their expertise and the functionalities of Unity Catalog enables their enterprise clients to accelerate their data processing capabilities without compromising control, thereby unlocking the full potential of their data.

Affirmation from Databricks

In alignment with this accolade, Jason McIntyre, VP of Partner Development at Databricks, expressed his excitement over the partnership with Blueprint. He noted, "Unity Catalog is the foundation for data intelligence, and we are thrilled to name Blueprint the 2025 Databricks Unity Catalog Partner of the Year. Blueprint has exemplified a commitment to supporting enterprises in modernizing governance within the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform."

This accolade marks a progressive milestone in Blueprint's journey, following earlier recognitions such as Databricks' 2024 Data and AI Governance Partner of the Year and 2022 Velocity Partner of the Year. These consecutive achievements underscore Blueprint’s continuous investment in assisting clients in establishing scalable governance while ensuring compliance and fostering rapid progress with confidence in cloud technologies.
