ULTRA TENDENCY GROUP EXPANDS EAST AND SOUTHEAST ASIA OPERATIONS

European Big data and AI boutique with APAC operations in Japan & Singapore | Databricks DPP Partner

TOKYO / SINGAPORE, 10 March 2026 – Ultra Tendency Group, the big data and AI boutique founded in Germany in 2010, announces the expansion of its East and Southeast Asia operations through its bases in Tokyo and Singapore. The Group now operates across three continents, supporting clients in Japan, Singapore and Malaysia.

Global Databricks Professional Service Partner – Now Serving Asia-Pacific

Ultra Tendency holds status as a global Databricks Professional Service Partner (DPP) and serves as a Databricks Training Partner. The company's Databricks expertise is grounded in production deployments across some of Europe's most demanding regulated environments.

Databricks reported over 100% year-on-year growth in Japan for the fiscal year ending January 2024, with major Japanese enterprises including ANA, Bridgestone, AEON and Konica Minolta publicly named as platform users. Databricks achieved ISMAP certification – enabling procurement by Japanese public sector organizations – on 28 January 2026. Ultra Tendency is positioned as the European-founded implementation partner with the production depth to support this growth.

"Databricks adoption in Japan is growing faster than local implementation capacity can absorb. Ultra Tendency brings 15 years of engineering discipline from projects like the European Central Bank's SPACE platform and HUK-COBURG's telematics system – zero downtime since 2016 – to clients in Asia who demand the same uncompromising standards. Our Databricks DPP partnership gives us the platform. Our track record gives us the credibility."

— Dr. Robert Neumann, CEO, Ultra Tendency Group
