Delivering One Highstreet Experience Through Connected Data and Intelligence
Highstreet Insurance Partners, an insurance brokerage that has grown through partnerships with more than 200 independent agencies, built Ora, a proprietary unified digital intelligence platform on Databricks that combines trusted data, analytics, intelligent automation and AI. Ora manages more than 49 billion data points spanning client, policy and carrier history for roughly 500,000 active client relationships. Highstreet built a knowledge graph connecting clients, policies, coverages, documents, and communications to ground AI agent recommendations, uses Unity Catalog for governance across data and ML assets, and Databricks Model Serving to run machine learning models that surface renewal-likelihood scores and cross-sell opportunities. Highstreet reduced the time to onboard a new agency partner's data into Ora from as much as six months to less than two weeks, and increased daily data refresh success from 35% to more than 95% after re-engineering Ora's data foundation with Lakeflow pipelines and Delta Lake.
