Microsoft Azure Databricks delivers the first-party advantage of Databricks on Microsoft—and for customers, that advantage shows up as real, measurable value. It is the same Databricks platform your teams already know, co-engineered with Microsoft and delivered as a native Azure service, so it fits naturally into the Microsoft tools, identity, and governance your organization already runs.
The advantage is built-in, not bolted on. Microsoft and Databricks co-engineer the service, share one integration roadmap across the Microsoft data and AI stack, and align go-to-market so you get one motion, one bill, and one support path. For technical teams, that means deeper native integration and stronger performance. For the business, it means lower cost, less risk, and faster time to value.
The strategic partnership drives an accelerated integration roadmap and continuous optimization for improved performance; however, decision-makers constantly ask about what business value all of this translates to. To address this key question, Microsoft commissioned a Forrester Total Economic Impact™ study of Azure Databricks. It found that a composite organization based on interviewed customers realized a three-year 331% return on investment, $58.1 million in net present value, and recovered its investment in less than six months.
