5-10% more uptime. 20% cost savings. 30% grid efficiency gains. That's what AI is already doing for our Energy, Utilities, Oil & Gas clients and we'll be showing how, live in Houston. Lovelytics (Databricks' Energy Partner of the Year) is at the Data + AI Summit Rewind in Houston on July 23. Stop by our booth for live demos of our Brickbuilder accelerators, built specifically for the Energy industry: 🔵 Drilllytics (Unconventional Drilling): Applies AI to optimize drilling, completion, and production, reducing risk, and driving a 5-10% increase in uptime. 🔵 Well-lytics (Wellsite Intelligence): An AI-powered platform delivering automated well analytics and real-time insights for 20% cost savings. 🔵 Gridlytics (Grid Modernization): Fuses grid data into an AI layer with natural language AI tools to automate work orders and proactively modernize the grid. 🔵 Crude Blending (Crude Blending Intelligence): Leverages dynamic price and asset inputs for proactive blending, risk management, and trading, yielding 1-5% margin gains and less downtime. After the day's big announcements, join us for happy hour (drinks and apps on us). Good excuse to talk data or just take a break from the summit with a cold margarita.

“Our best talent can now work on solving business problems and not resolving infrastructure challenges.” That is exactly what Andrew Birch, Vice President of Data & AI at Domino's, highlights in our latest case study. Domino's has been redefining pizza delivery since the 60s. Today, they are the world’s largest pizza company with 15,000+ restaurants in 90+ countries, and an iconic Tracker that continues to deliver real-time updates order after order (2.5 billion & counting since 2008). The magic behind its AI-forward Tracker and business? A strong data foundation. Building that foundation didn't happen alone; it took the right partner and platform to move fast. To lead this cloud data transformation, we brought together Databricks experts to work as tight-knit, embedded teams alongside Domino’s. The payoff was immediate speed at delivering incremental value. In this video, Andrew discusses: 🔸 Why Domino's moved off legacy, self-managed data infrastructure into Databricks  🔸 What made Databricks the right platform choice for their data ecosystem  🔸 Why Domino's selected Lovelytics as its strategic implementation partner  🔸 How machine learning continues to optimize the Domino's Tracker to deliver more accurate carryout and delivery predictions Watch the full story 👇 https://lnkd.in/g7zvp2sW Lastly, we’d like to extend a special thank you to all the help behind the scenes to make this vision a reality! Rob Saker, Kevin Ippen, Mike Rooney, Andrew Koultourides, Tom Walsh, John Cormier, Kripakar Krishnamurthy, Dan Shields, Mithun Bhowmick, Sean Forgatch, and so many others!

A career can change for many reasons: cross-country moves, unexpected twists, or family dynamics.   Meet Sarah Colbert Sturmer. For 10 years, she built a strong career as a Petroleum Geologist, navigating complex operations on deepwater rigs and managing high-stakes energy projects. Then, she decided to change her trajectory completely. Today, she is a Principal Data Consultant at Lovelytics. Pillars of her pivot: 🔸 If it clicks, it clicks: If you feel the spark for a new path, go for it. Even if you have a consolidated 10-year career. 🔸 Go all in: After discovering Python during a research project, Sarah leaned into coding, eventually pursuing a Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) in Computer Science. 🔸 Lean on your support system: Sarah had to balance her degree while raising two little kids and working two part-time jobs. A strong family backing made it all possible. As Sarah beautifully puts it: "I questioned myself all the time while I was working towards my degree, but it took 2.5 years of hard work, and it was worth it. I’ve never been sorry." ➡️ Joining Lovelytics allowed Sarah to broaden her technical skillset and tackle a variety of technical projects while bridging her expertise with the stakeholder relationship skills she mastered years ago in the energy sector.

Another exciting dose of AI Shark Bites: Where AI Hype Meets Business Reality with Shark Tank star & Lovelytics investor Robert Herjavec and Lovelytics CRO Tamara Kinney! In this minisode, learn about the cure for AI pilot purgatory- your data foundation and focusing on business outcomes. We spoke to many customers at Databricks Summit about this very problem and how Databricks is the best-in-class data and AI foundation. 

Why do our clients choose us? Instead of giving you a flashy sales pitch, we prefer to let our partners do the talking. Jeff Nobel from Curinos and Carlos Navarro from BECU spoke with Hanni Saab about their experience working with Lovelytics on complex data projects. They highlighted our team's flexibility when navigating open-ended cloud migration hurdles, our attention to detail, and our commitment to being true, collaborative partners rather than just extra staff. We know that data migrations and cloud architecture upgrades are challenging, and we don't pretend to have all the answers on day one. But we are committed to showing up, staying adaptable, and figuring out the tough stuff side-by-side with our clients. A huge thank you to Curinos and BECU for your trust!

Proud to share that Lovelytics was named an IDC Innovator for AI-Ready Data Strategy and Engineering Services. IDC selects companies solving real problems in their market. For us, that problem is the gap between AI pilots that look good and AI that actually runs in production — and the data infrastructure work required to close it. We've seen what it takes across 500+ engagements. The companies that get AI into production aren't the ones with the best models. They're the ones with clean data, solid governance, and a team that sticks around through adoption, not just implementation. That's what we do. And it's what drove $1B in impact at Xcel Energy and a 30% cost reduction at a major streaming platform. Grateful to the clients who trusted us with hard problems, and to the Lovelytics team who does the work. Read the full blog post: https://lnkd.in/d5ccXuhc

Data challenges in the marketing space haven't fundamentally changed over the last few years, they’ve just grown more complex. During the Databricks #DataAISummit, we took the opportunity to chat with some of our clients about the hurdles they are actively trying to overcome. In this video, Jay Goebel talks with Ankur Jain from Acxiom and Kouros Esfahany from Locality as they break down the primary business problems facing marketers today: 🔻 The Persistence of Data Silos.  🔻 A Fragmented Media Market.  🔻 High Data Latency.  🔻 Deploying AI Without Clear Outcomes. Solving these problems requires moving away from stagnant data and building a data foundation that delivers real-time, audience-ready segments. Watch the full video and learn how we are helping them at Lovelytics.

Murray Williams sums it up beautifully in his article: “Let me reiterate this point: much of the failure in home grown, build-over-buy CDPs was due to the lack of a well-designed UI. But here is where we’re at the cusp of another disruptive historical moment!” As a launch partner, we handle the architectural lifting, ensuring your data foundation is structurally ready to let these autonomous agents thrive.
