Fivetran wins 2025 Databricks Data Integration Partner of the Year

Joint customer adoption with Databricks grows 40 percent year over year

Fivetran, the global leader in data movement, today announced it has been named the 2025 Databricks Data Integration Partner of the Year. The award was presented at the annual Data + AI Summit in San Francisco and highlights the close collaboration between the two companies to help enterprises build scalable, secure data foundations for analytics and artificial intelligence.

Fivetran helps organisations centralise data from hundreds of sources, including SaaS applications, databases, files, and event streams, into the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform. By automating data movement and simplifying pipeline management, Fivetran reduces engineering overhead and gives teams faster, more reliable access to data.

Over the past year, the partnership has expanded to include deeper integrations with Unity Catalog and Delta Lake, helping customers maintain governance while working with both structured and unstructured data. During that same period, the number of joint Fivetran and Databricks customers grew by 40 percent, as more organisations turned to the combined solution to reduce overhead, improve performance, and move more quickly from raw data to insight.

“Databricks continues to be a strategic partner as more companies invest in modern data infrastructure,” said Logan Welley, Vice President of Alliances at Fivetran. “This recognition speaks to the value we are delivering together for customers who need reliable, secure data pipelines to support production-grade AI and analytics. We are proud to help build the foundation for what comes next.”

Additionally, Fivetran is a launch partner for Databricks Managed Iceberg Tables, a newly announced capability that allows customers to work with open, high-performance data formats optimised for large-scale analytics and AI. Through integration with Unity Catalog, Fivetran enables consistent governance and efficient data access as enterprises scale their workloads and expand their use cases.

Organisations across industries are already benefiting from the combined power of Fivetran and Databricks. National Australia Bank uses Fivetran’s Hybrid Deployment model to run pipelines within its own cloud environment while leveraging Databricks for processing and analytics. This architecture allows the bank to meet strict compliance requirements while modernising its infrastructure and accelerating AI adoption. Companies like OpenAI, Pfizer, and Dropbox also rely on Fivetran to move data into Databricks to support everything from real-time analytics to production-grade machine learning, helping their teams work faster and make more informed decisions.

“As enterprise demand for data intelligence grows, Fivetran has been an important partner for us in helping organisations move faster with data,” said Roger Murff, Vice President of Technology Partners at Databricks. “Their focus on automation, scale, and governance aligns with what our customers need as they bring more data-driven AI applications from production to market.”
