Persistent Systems has achieved the Databricks Brickbuilder Specialization for Banking, Financial Services and Insurance (BFSI), recognizing its industry expertise and delivery experience on the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform. The specialization is intended to help financial institutions move fragmented data and artificial intelligence pilots into scalable deployments. Persistent says its certified Databricks professionals, reusable accelerators and established BFSI implementation patterns reduce delivery complexity across risk, fraud and customer intelligence. The company uses Databricks to bring financial data into a governed, AI-ready layer, with Delta Lake, Unity Catalog and Mosaic AI supporting the development, evaluation and monitoring of data products, models and AI agents within institutional security and governance requirements. Its Merchant Risk Management and Fraud Detection solution, built on Databricks and powered by Agentic AI (artificial intelligence that performs tasks), is designed to support predictive merchant risk management rather than solely reactive fraud controls. Persistent also offers secure, data-grounded GenAI agents for operations, analytics and compliance, with evaluation and monitoring mechanisms focused on accuracy, explainability and alignment with BFSI workflows. The company and Databricks are expanding co-innovation and joint client engagements, including work for a leading European bank to modernize risk data infrastructure and customer data frameworks, and for one of Japan's largest financial services organizations to establish governed data management on Databricks. Persistent is a Silver Tier Global Systems Integrator partner for Databricks, with more than 1,000 certifications and over 10 platform accelerators.
