Google to Acquire Looker

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. The addition of Looker to Google Cloud will help us offer customers a more complete analytics solution from ingesting data to visualizing results and integrating data and insights into their daily workflows. For any business that is looking for a partner to help drive digital transformation, the combination of Google Cloud and Looker will offer an incredible data management and analytics platform.
