Grand View Research recognizes Trianz as a “key player” in U.S.-based advanced data analytics consulting.

The cloud has ushered in a new era of data analytics, enabling complete automation ranging from data ingestion to insight generation. Data analytics allow enterprises to store high-quality data and generate contextualized insights to improve their services.

At the forefront of this cloud data analytics revolution is Looker. The Looker data analytics platform simultaneously offers both modern business intelligence (BI) and real-time analytics functionality in a unified platform. Looker supports all major cloud data hosting platforms, including our partners - Amazon RedShift, Snowflake, and Microsoft Azure SQL Server, along with more than 50 supported SQL dialects.

The differentiating element of Looker is its unique data visualization functionality that converts raw data into accessible graphs and charts in the Looker dashboard - from revenue and customer demographics to geographical distribution maps. In short, Looker enables self-service analytics for business users to generate and access insights, irrespective of their level of technical know-how.

Trianz Looker Offerings

Trianz offers a broad range of consulting services to help you extract maximum value from the Looker platform:

 
Looker Implementation Services

Looker Implementation Services

Trianz experts can assess your existing infrastructure for candidacy and offer alternatives when needed, to support your Looker implementation quickly and efficiently. We will then execute the project, configure your Looker platform and connect data sources so you can leverage the data visualization functionality and integrations on the platform. The result is a linked data ecosystem that supports visualized insights and cross-software data transmission via data pipelines.

Data Extraction and Loading

Data Extraction and Loading

Extracting and loading data falls under extract-transform-load (ETL) processing. Trianz can extract data from your source database and load it into Looker to enable analytics and business intelligence. While Looker is not a database, our experts use the Stitch Data Loader pipeline to connect your AWS, Azure, and Snowflake databases to Looker. This pipeline automates data cleansing and conversion into a format useable by Looker, with scalable processing tiers that minimize ETL costs.

Governed Transformation

Governed Transformation

When moving data into Looker, you need to uphold your data governance policies. Trianz can help you configure Looker to leverage existing role-based access controls (RBAC) or identity access management (IAM) policies from your cloud hosting platform. This allows you to configure policies in a single location and extrapolate to Looker, reducing policy administration workloads and increasing your data governance consistency.

Data Discovery and Visualization

Data Discovery and Visualization

Trianz can extract and load data from various source databases, simplifying data discovery within Looker. This converges data from multiple sources without compromising performance or security using Looker Data Connections that are both platform- and dialect-agnostic for ease of access. You can then leverage Looker’s data visualization functionality to generate graphs and charts. This includes pre-compiled visualizations from the Looker Viz Blocks service, or custom visualizations designed by Trianz experts for niche circumstances.

Looker Insight Delivery

Looker Insight Delivery

As a data analytics platform, Looker is designed to generate actionable insights for your business. Trianz can help you maximize insight generation by configuring Looker using the Looker Blocks marketplace and custom Looker workflows built around your technology stack. This includes creating Looker dashboards for specific departments, giving them the information they need while filtering redundant data. Insight delivery applies across sales, digital marketing, and website analytics, with endless possibilities for customization.

API Integration Services

API Integration Services

Looker supports integration and embedded analytics via the Looker API, which facilitates secure communication between your database, the Looker platform, and your digital services. Trianz experts use the Looker API to connect RESTful services, which translate into any service that supports HTTPS requests and the processing of JSON responses. This covers the vast majority of enterprise software and services, resulting in a fully integrated data foundation for your business.

Digital transformation is just not limited to the adoption of emerging technologies. Rather, it involves fusing transformative human capital, business processes, and technology capabilities backed by data-driven insight to ensure progressive business outcomes and value accretion for all stakeholders.
