LSEG, a global financial markets infrastructure and data provider, has partnered with Databricks to integrate LSEG's industry-leading financial data natively into the Databricks platform using Delta Sharing. Launching with Lipper Fund Data & Analytics and Cross Asset Analytics, the collaboration will expand to include Pricing, Reference Data, Models, Fundamentals, Estimates, Economics, and Tick History, empowering financial teams to build governed AI agents for real-time analytics, risk management, and trading.
Financial services organizations face challenges from outdated, batch-based data processes that delay responses to market shifts. Analysts often dedicate more time to data integration than model development. This partnership unifies LSEG's trusted datasets with enterprise data on Databricks, streamlining workflows for portfolio management, forecasting, and client reporting. By leveraging Delta Sharing, teams access live financial data without complex pipelines, fostering faster innovation and competitive advantages.
Databricks Agent Bricks allows financial teams to deploy production-ready AI agents combining tick history or reference data with internal sources, accelerating tasks from months to days. These agents feature optimized accuracy, governance, and cost efficiency. For instance, global banks can integrate transaction data with market insights to identify opportunities, monitor risks, run scenario forecasts, detect trading anomalies, and generate compliance reports in real time using natural language interfaces.
"Customers tell us they have an insatiable appetite for high-quality, AI-ready data to accelerate their analytics and AI workloads," said Stephen Orban, SVP, Product Ecosystem & Partnerships at Databricks. "Together, LSEG and Databricks can now empower financial institutions to quickly build AI agents that use LSEG's data to automate tasks, analyze trends and provide real-time, actionable insights. By leveraging Delta Sharing, teams can access and integrate live financial data without complex pipelines or vendor lock-in. This gives them a simple, secure way to go from raw data to smarter decisions about investments, risk and trading in just days."
"This partnership with Databricks marks an important step in bringing LSEG's trusted data to where customers need it most," said Emily Prince, Group Head of Analytics & AI, LSEG. "By adding our industry-leading datasets to Databricks Marketplace, we are empowering financial institutions to unlock new levels of intelligence, efficiency, and compliance. It highlights our drive to integrate with the platforms and workflows clients use most, helping them unlock value."
