EY reinforces commitment to AI innovation with launch of Databricks Center of Excellence in Mexico

New hub strengthens EY-Databricks alliance to accelerate AI training, development and client innovation

NEW YORK, Sept. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Ernst & Young LLP (EY) today announced the establishment of a new Databricks Center of Excellence in Mexico City, Mexico, underscoring its commitment to advanced data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI). This strategic investment expands the firm's current US-based Databricks Center of Excellence to Mexico for nearshore global delivery support, enhancing the EY organization's ability to help clients harness the power of data and AI to drive transformative business outcomes.

The Center of Excellence, based within EY Global Delivery Services (GDS) Mexico, will serve as a regional hub for developing and deploying Databricks-powered solutions that modernize data platforms, unlock actionable insights and operationalize AI at scale. Joining more than 1,000 EY people certified in Databricks technology, the center will bring together top talent in data engineering, machine learning and analytics to support clients across industries. The recent announcement of SAP Databricks in SAP Business Data Cloud is another key driver of the EY organization's continued global expansion of Databricks capabilities.

"The launch of our Databricks Center of Excellence in Mexico demonstrates the EY organization's unwavering commitment to arming our clients with the most advanced AI and data capabilities," says Whitt Butler, EY Americas Vice Chair – Consulting.
