Schiphol Group’s Transformation to Unity Catalog

Discover how Europe’s third-busiest airport, Schiphol Group, is elevating its data operations by transitioning from a standard Databricks setup to the advanced capabilities of Unity Catalog. In this session, we will share the motivations, obstacles and strategic decisions behind executing a seamless migration in a large-scale environment — one that spans hundreds of workspaces and demands continuous availability. Gain insights into planning and governance, learn how to safeguard data integrity and maintain operational flow, and understand the process of integrating Unity Catalog’s enhanced security and governance features. Attendees will leave with practical lessons from our hands-on experience, proven methods for similar migrations, and a clear perspective on the benefits this transition offers for complex, rapidly evolving organizations.
