Data platform consultancy
USSHI helps organisations cut unnecessary Databricks spend, improve platform efficiency and build data operations that scale.
The problem
Most platform teams know something is wasteful. Few have the time, or an independent view, to find it and prioritise the fixes.
Clusters left running, warehouses sized for peak load all day, and configurations nobody has revisited.
A small number of workloads often drive a large share of the bill, and they're rarely the ones teams expect.
Weak tagging and no chargeback make it hard to see who spends what, so spend keeps growing unchecked.
