Founded in 2017, Lovelytics helps some of the most complex enterprises across Energy & Utilities, Media & Entertainment, Manufacturing, Retail & CPG, Healthcare and Financial Services modernize their data and put AI to work, not in a deck, but in production. We move fast, stay close to the cutting edge, and care more about outcomes than optics.

Our work spans the full data and AI lifecycle: Data Strategy & Advisory, Data Engineering, Analytics & Visualization, Generative AI & ML, and Cloud Migration & Modernization. All of it is delivered primarily on Databricks, with deep partnerships across AWS, Azure, and GCP.

In September 2026, Lovelytics became a CDW company. CDW completed its acquisition on September 25, 2026, bringing our team into its Data & Analytics Practice. Together, we can take customers from data strategy to production AI with a single partner across the full technology lifecycle.

Lovelytics now has 600+ people across the United States, Canada, Argentina, and Colombia, all working exclusively in data and AI. We’ve kept the technically excellent, low-ego culture that earned us a Best Places to Work recognition, a spot among Databricks’ top partners, and three appearances on the Inc. 5000.
