Insights
S&P Global's expanded Databricks partnership offers financial institutions seamless access to critical datasets, strengthening their competitive position in the data marketplace.
This expanded collaboration between S&P Global and Databricks represents a significant enhancement of their existing partnership. By adding S&P Capital IQ Pro datasets to Databricks via Delta Sharing, they're addressing a critical pain point in the financial data ecosystem – the ability to access live data without complex data pipelines or duplication issues.
The technical implementation uses Databricks' open-source Delta Sharing protocol, which allows secure cross-platform data sharing. This is particularly valuable for financial institutions that need to maintain data security while enabling real-time analytics. By eliminating data ingestion requirements, this integration significantly reduces the technical debt and maintenance costs associated with traditional data pipelines.
From a competitive standpoint, this move strengthens S&P Global's position in the financial data marketplace by making their high-value datasets more accessible within environments where data scientists and analysts already work. The expanded datasets include financials, estimates, filings, transcripts, transactions, and sustainability metrics – covering essential areas for investment management, risk assessment, and competitive intelligence.
This partnership reflects the broader industry trend toward data democratization while maintaining governance. Financial institutions can now leverage S&P Global's data assets more efficiently, potentially accelerating their analytics capabilities and time-to-insight. The fact that S&P Global plans to continue adding datasets suggests this is part of a strategic long-term relationship rather than a one-time integration.

Delta Sharing is Databricks' open-source protocol that enables customers to share live data across platforms, clouds and regions within an environment with strong data security and governance. With Delta Sharing, licensed users can directly query live S&P Global data without creating copies or managing complex pipelines. This greatly reduces data duplication and latency issues, allowing investment, risk, and strategy teams to always work with fresh data—all within their existing Databricks environment.
"In today's dynamic market, it is essential that we meet our clients where they are," said Warren Breakstone, Head of Data & Research at S&P Global Market Intelligence. "Our expanded relationship with Databricks enables us to deliver more seamless access and efficient querying, empowering clients to make informed business decisions through comprehensive analysis and insights. We are excited to enhance the availability and reach of our data through Databricks and Delta Sharing, ultimately benefiting our customers and their decision-making processes."
"As financial services demand for data intelligence grows, expanding on our collaboration with S&P Global bolsters our customers' ability to seamlessly, securely share data across platforms," said Junta Nakai, VP and Global Head of Financial Services at Databricks. "We are thrilled to be working with S&P Global to integrate a deep and unique set of insights from S&P Capital IQ Pro datasets into Databricks via Delta Sharing."
S&P Global's collaboration with Databricks previously included the integration of its energy and commodities datasets from its Commodity Insights division in Databricks. The Market Intelligence division also collaborated with Databricks on its S&P Global Capital IQ Workbench, creating a collaborative analytics notebook environment for its users.
S&P Global will continue to add additional datasets to Databricks Delta Sharing. View all the S&P Global datasets that are accessible via Delta Sharing on the S&P Global Marketplace and Databricks Marketplace.
