FPT has been officially recognized as a Select Tier Partner of Databricks, marking a significant milestone in its journey as a leader in modern data solutions. This achievement places FPT among the few companies in the Asia-Pacific region reaching this coveted tier in the partnership ecosystem.

As the second-highest level within Databricks' partner framework, the Select Tier recognizes organizations demonstrating a robust expertise and delivery capabilities aligned with Databricks technologies. FPT's success resulted from substantial investments in talent development, boasting nearly 100 technical certifications alongside 40 certifications in pre-sales and leadership roles.

Looking forward, FPT aims to further its talent depth by expanding the number of professionals certified at advanced levels, particularly targeting the Databricks Data Engineer Professional certification. The firm is also gearing up to co-host go-to-market activities with Databricks in pivotal areas such as the United States and Japan. These initiatives are not only anticipated to unlock new business opportunities but also bolster FPT's standing as a reliable partner in data and AI on a global scale.
