NEW YORK, NY — January 12, 2026 — Leads & Copy — WTW (NASDAQ: WTW) has launched the Radar Connector for Databricks, enhancing its insurance analytics and pricing platform.
The new integration enables Radar users to securely connect with Databricks, eliminating manual data movement, accelerating analysis, and improving governance.
The integration allows Radar to access data by selecting Databricks as a data source and retrieving data directly from the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform in a single step. Users can transfer results back into Databricks after completing their analysis, and these activities can be automated.
The Radar Connector for Databricks offers a faster, smoother, and more efficient solution, reducing the total turnaround time for a data update to minutes.
According to Chris Halliday, Senior Director in WTW’s Insurance Consulting and Technology practice, the integration of Radar with Databricks provides a more efficient experience for insurers. He added that combining this with Radar’s existing capability to deploy Databricks machine learning models allows Radar users to benefit from Databricks’ data and AI infrastructure capabilities.
Marcela Granados, Global Head of Insurance, Databricks, stated that with Databricks, insurers can unify all their data into a single, governed environment ready for Radar analysis. She noted that the integration turns data into actionable insights by connecting Radar’s advanced pricing models directly to Databricks Agent Bricks with unified governance powered by Unity Catalog, resulting in faster decisions, stronger compliance, and the agility to innovate confidently.
Databricks allows insurers to ingest and prepare data from any source, manage data quality and lineage through Unity Catalog, and apply AI-driven insights. Radar outputs can flow back into Databricks for enterprise-wide sharing, visualisation, and exploration through tools like AI/BI Genie and Agent Bricks.
