Indicium, a global leader in data and AI-driven services, has introduced AI Data Squads as a Service, a transformative delivery model designed to help enterprises overcome the challenges of complex data migrations, legacy modernization, and quality improvement. Leveraging Indicium’s proprietary IndiMesh framework and Agentic AI, this model empowers organizations to unlock the full potential of their data through automation, intelligence, and expert-driven delivery.
Large enterprises often grapple with fragmented data ecosystems, inconsistent data quality, and heavily manual processes. AI Data Squads address these issues through a flexible, real-world-tested consulting model. Each squad is a hybrid unit—pairing highly certified engineers and consultants with embedded AI agents. These teams bring deep expertise in Databricks, dbt Cloud, and modern data stack technologies, enabling structured execution, seamless platform integration, and measurable business outcomes.
Underpinned by the IndiMesh framework, the squads use intelligent agents to drive every stage of the engagement—from initial planning and automation of migration tasks to validation and optimization. This fusion of advanced tooling with human expertise enables faster execution, higher-quality data, and operational intelligence at scale.
Each AI Data Squad is embedded with agents trained on years of delivery experience and IndiMesh process maps. These agents streamline critical tasks across the data lifecycle, including:
-
Prompt2Pipeline Agent: Converts PySpark, pandas, and SSIS projects into modular dbt models aligned with best practices.
-
Architecture Agents: Offer design recommendations based on 250+ proven architectures.
-
Data Pipeline Agents: Speed up ETL/ELT development and enhance workflow reliability.
-
Governance Agents: Automate compliance checks aligned with internal policies and industry standards.
-
MLOps Agents: Manage deployment, version control, and monitoring of ML models.
-
Documentation Agents: Keep documentation current, including lineage and data dictionaries.
-
Analytics Agents: Generate insights through natural language-powered queries.
-
Project Management Agents: Monitor progress, allocate resources, and identify delivery risks.
-
Quality Assurance Agents: Enforce stringent testing protocols for all data workflows.
These AI agents are securely deployed within the customer’s environment, ensuring data privacy and full control. Accessible via developer tools and APIs, they help teams improve speed, reduce manual tasks, and enforce strong governance across the entire delivery process.

Indicium’s model has already shown tangible success. In a recent engagement with a global mineral resources company, the team replaced over 400 legacy notebooks and 100 dependent workflows with standardized dbt models in Databricks—all within four months. This led to an 85% reduction in code migration time, while dramatically improving platform consistency and reliability.
As enterprises increasingly migrate to modern platforms like Databricks and dbt, Indicium’s AI Data Squads offer a proven path forward. Their approach blends automation, best practices, and hands-on expertise to minimize complexity, boost performance, and future-proof enterprise data systems.
“AI can speed delivery, but the real value comes from combining automation with the hands-on experience and depth of the platform,” said Daniel Avancini, Chief Data Officer at Indicium. “Our teams have years of experience with Databricks and dbt, augmented by agents who streamline work without cutting corners. That’s how we help customers modernize quickly and confidently.”
Organizations can begin with a comprehensive assessment of their existing data platforms to determine current maturity, identify key blockers, and develop a targeted migration or optimization strategy. Indicium supports every step—from planning and implementation to documentation and enablement—within a unified service model that guarantees tangible results from day one.
