Palantir Managed Services for Foundry and AIP

When Palantir's forward deployed engineers roll off, BD Emerson's engineers take over the build. We run the pipelines and ontology, ship extensions through reviewed releases, govern access and agents, and keep compute inside the limits your platform owner sets.

Definition

What are Palantir managed services?

Palantir managed services are the ongoing work of running, extending, and governing a Foundry or AIP deployment after the team that built it leaves. The build is the pipelines, ontology, Workshop applications, and AIP workflows on your enrollment. Running it means keeping those resources healthy, changing them safely, deciding who can see and do what, and keeping compute usage inside budget.

Palantir supports its own platform under your subscription, and its SEC filings describe operations and maintenance services as part of its subscription and license agreements. The pipelines, object types, and applications that your team and Palantir's forward deployed engineers built on top of the platform are yours to run. BD Emerson's engineers take that work over, as your platform team or alongside the people you are hiring and certifying into it.

BD Emerson is an independent Palantir implementation consultancy. We are not Palantir, we sell no Palantir licenses, and we take no margin on your subscription, so a recommendation to retire a dashboard, slow a schedule, or shrink a usage account carries no conflict.

Services

What our Palantir managed services cover

Run the build
Extend it safely
Govern access and agents
Keep compute costs in line
Handoff audit
Build your platform team

Run the build

We operate your pipelines, schedules, object types, and Workshop applications day to day. We own monitoring views, alert routing to your on-call channel, runbooks, and Upgrade Assistant tasks, and we fix source system breaks before users see stale data.

Extend it safely

We ship new pipelines, object types, Workshop applications, and AIP workflows through Global Branching, with each change reviewed under your approval policies. Your engineers pair on every change, and nothing reaches main without a branch, a test, and a reviewer.

Govern access and agents

We keep Project roles on groups, map markings to your data classes, run quarterly access reviews, and scope every agent that reaches Foundry through Ontology MCP or Palantir MCP. Each decision leaves a record your security team and auditors can read.

Keep compute costs in line

We map Projects to usage accounts owned by business lines, set limits and budgets in Resource Management, review the top Projects by cost each month, and fix the common causes: hourly schedules, full recomputes, and analyses that bypass the cache.

Handoff audit

A fixed-scope first step for any Foundry or AIP build, whoever delivered it. We review seven areas: ownership, documentation, access, runbooks, cost controls, a named platform team, and a release process. You get a dated list of gaps, each with an owner.

Build your platform team

We pair your data engineers and application developers with ours on real changes and prepare them for Palantir's Associate and Specialist certifications. As they take on-call shifts, we step back to an escalation role, or we stay on as your platform team if you prefer.

Our approach

From handoff to a steady run

01

Run the handoff audit

Before Palantir's FDEs roll off, we run the seven-point handoff checklist with them: ownership, documentation, access, runbooks, cost controls, a named platform team, and a release process. Every gap gets an owner and a date.

02

Transfer ownership

We move Owner roles from individual accounts to your groups, reassign Upgrade Assistant tasks, route monitoring alerts to your on-call channel, and write runbooks for the failures your build will see.

03

Stabilize for 30 days

We run the platform with your team alongside us: alerts handled from runbooks, one change shipped through the release process, one access review from group membership, and the first monthly cost review in Resource Management.

04

Extend on a cadence

New use cases enter a ranked backlog. We build each one on a branch, test it against the applications downstream, and merge it under your approval policies, with your engineers pairing on the work.

Our Advantage

Why BD Emerson for Palantir managed services

Independent of the license

We sell no Palantir licenses and take no margin on your subscription. When we recommend retiring a dashboard, slowing a schedule, or shrinking a usage account, the recommendation costs us nothing and saves you compute.

Engineers who build and run

The engineers who run your platform also build on it: pipelines, ontology, Workshop applications, and AIP workflows. A fix comes from someone who can read the transform, change the object type, and ship the change through your release process.

Security as the house specialty

Security is BD Emerson's house specialty. Access reviews, markings, agent scopes, and change records are part of the run, with evidence your security team and auditors can use without a separate project.

We had a hard time finding the right company to partner with in support of our compliance journey. Some vendors sell the idea that they do the work, but then you end up doing everything. The ambiguity is what killed our last project. BD Emerson’s team has such great technical knowledge and understands the standard so well that they made us comfortable with moving fast. This has led to us closing major enterprise customers that were previously out of reach because of security and compliance.

Tom Watkins

CEO @ AMI AssetTrack

Lead an enterprise initiative to overhaul the organization's technology stack from ecommerce, corporate tech, and corporate security.

Supported ISO 42001 exercise and served as internal auditor.

Rubrik's privacy and compliance team began with the backbone of BD Emerson. BD Emerson supported building out the privacy program, GRC (ISO 27001, SOC 2, CMMC, FedRAMP), and the appsec function.

We needed a partner who could move quickly, without sacrificing precision. BD Emerson brought the expertise, structure, and speed we were looking for. Their team became an extension of ours, embedding themselves across the organization, guiding us step by step, and giving us confidence in areas we hadn’t tackled before. The internal audit they conducted was so detailed that even the external auditors called it out. Achieving ISO 27001 with zero nonconformities says everything you need to know about the quality of the partnership.
