Govern your data anywhere.
Trust it everywhere.
A global asset manager's data lives on three platforms, and its access rules had to travel with it. SunnyData made Databricks the single view of all of it, so releases take minutes, not days, and everyone can see what they're cleared to use.
Client challenge
Years of rules, stuck on one platform
The client is a global asset manager with many specialized investment teams. Its data was scattered across multiple systems, and Databricks was chosen to unify it. However, the company's complex access and compliance rules were stored in its existing data warehouse, with no simple way to transfer them to Databricks. Manually recreating these rules would have taken months and quickly become outdated with each new hire.
The solution
One rulebook for every platform, visible to everyone
SunnyData made Databricks' Unity Catalog the single catalog across all of them.
The data stays where it is, and the rules follow it.
Carry the rules over
Years of access rules were carried into Databricks automatically and stay current as people join and roles change.
Release safely
Every release is checked automatically and goes live only with approval from both the central data team and the owning team.
See everything
A control tower app shows roles, groups, permissions and data quality across every team in one place.
Explain every access
Anyone can search a dataset and see exactly how they got access. Everyone sees only what they're cleared for.
Rules that follow the data
Follow one access through
Four stages, one trusted view
Illustrative representation. Not client data.
Illustrative representation. Not client data.
The four stages: 1, Connect: three platforms, one catalog. 2, Carry over: existing rules move across and stay current. 3, Govern: every dataset follows the same rulebook. 4, Explain: see exactly how anyone got access.
Key benefits achieved
What they can do now
A platform people trust enough to use
Govern with a lean team
One small team enforces policy across the whole firm.
Ship with confidence
Engineers release through one standard, compliant pipeline.
Use what's there
Analysts and ML engineers explore data on their own, within their access, with no ticket to IT.
Governance isn't a migration checkbox. It's the foundation that lets everyone use the platform.
