Proven Databricks delivery.
Our Databricks partnership is new. Our Databricks experience isn’t: Cevo has already delivered Databricks projects for Australian organisations.
For years, Cevo has designed, secured and run data platforms on AWS for some of Australia’s most regulated organisations. We’ve built landing zones that pass audits, pipelines that don’t break at 2am, and governance models that satisfy the risk committee. As an AWS Premier Tier Services Partner, we know what it takes to put data to work safely in the cloud.
Now we’re formalising what we’ve already been doing with Databricks. The result is DB³, the Power of 3.
The Power of 3. The maths is simple
AWS
The secure, scalable foundation your organisation already trusts.
x
Databricks
One lakehouse platform for data engineering, analytics and AI, running natively on AWS.

Cevo
The glue: proven delivery frameworks, reusable IP, and people who have done this in your industry before.

DB³
Each of these is powerful alone. Together, they’re cubed.
Better together, by design
DB³ isn’t about choosing one platform over another. Databricks on AWS runs in your own AWS environment, on Amazon S3 storage, secured with AWS identity, networking and encryption. It can also be procured through AWS Marketplace.
That means your AWS investment keeps working harder. DB³ builds on the foundation you already have, whether your data services are native AWS, Databricks, or both. And when you’re ready for generative AI, DB³ connects your governed data to services like Amazon Bedrock.
Outcomes in weeks, not years. Start where you are
Every organisation is at a different point in its data journey. DB³ meets you there with focused accelerators, each delivering outcomes in weeks rather than years.
Stage 1: Ground
“Our data’s stuck in legacy systems.”
Data Estate Modernisation: a secure AWS foundation and a production-ready Databricks platform.
Stage 2: Trust
“We can’t prove where this number came from.”
Regulatory Data & AI Governance: classification, lineage and quality, audit-ready from day one.
Stage 3: Ready
“We want AI, but our data isn’t there yet.”
AI-Ready Data Platform: integrated, curated data prepared for machine learning and AI.
Stage 4: Decide
“We have data. We need answers.”
Decision Intelligence & Insights: analytics and AI in the hands of decision makers.
Five industries. Five familiar headaches.
Financial services: “Three systems, one customer, zero agreement.”
Your customer looks different in core banking, CRM and claims. Meanwhile, the regulator wants lineage for every number in the risk report. DB³ delivers a trusted Customer 360 with PII controls and governance aligned to APRA CPS 230 and CPS 234.
Typical starting stage: Trust. Regulatory pressure makes governance the first priority.
Government: “Reporting shouldn’t take a month of spreadsheets.”
Program data sits across legacy systems and business units, and every quarter someone reconciles it by hand. DB³ brings it into one secure, governed platform with shared KPI definitions, so every report tells the same story.
Typical starting stage: Ground. Legacy systems and security obligations come first.
“Timetabling shouldn’t take a spreadsheet army.”
Staff, room and enrolment data sit in separate systems, so every term’s schedule is rebuilt by hand. DB³ brings them onto one governed platform, ready for smarter scheduling, and later for insight into student performance and retention.
Typical starting stage: Ground. The data exists; it needs a modern foundation to connect it.
Utilities: “Fix what’s failing, not what’s scheduled.”
Your network generates mountains of sensor and asset data, but maintenance still runs on the calendar. DB³ puts asset, sensor and work-order data on one lakehouse, ready for condition-based and predictive maintenance.
Typical starting stage: Ground, then Ready. Sensor-scale data needs a modern foundation for predictive models.
Healthcare: “Patient data lives in too many places to trust.”
Clinical, administrative and claims data sit in different systems, each with its own rules. Privacy obligations mean every use has to be justified. DB³ brings it onto one governed platform with clear lineage and access controls, so teams can use data with confidence.
Typical starting stage: Trust. Privacy and governance come before analytics and AI.

AWS depth, from the ground up
Most Databricks projects succeed or stall on the cloud foundation underneath: networking, identity, security and cost. That’s where Cevo has always been strongest.
Reusable IP, not reinvented wheels
Landing zones, security controls, CI/CD pipelines and workspace configurations are already built and tested, so your team gets to value faster.
