A rapidly growing list of customers are also migrating their existing enterprise data warehouses from legacy technology stacks to our business analytics offering. Many customers use Google Cloud, including Google BigQuery as their Enterprise Data Warehouse, for business analytics-using SQL to query real-time data streams running fully managed Hadoop and Spark clusters and using machine learning to automatically categorize and run forecasting and predictions on their data. Google Cloud offers customers a broad and integrated suite of cloud services to ingest data in real time, cleanse it, process it, aggregate it in a highly scalable data warehouse and analyze it. Upon the close of the acquisition, Looker will join Google Cloud.Ī fundamental requirement for organizations wanting to transform themselves digitally is the need to store, manage, and analyze large quantities of data from a variety of sources. The acquisition of Looker is expected to be complete later this year and is subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of regulatory approvals. We’re very excited to announce that Google has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Looker, a unified platform for business intelligence, data applications, and embedded analytics.
