Making the switch to a cloud-native BI platform like Looker can transform the way your organization leverages data, but the migration process can often be daunting. With the complexity of moving, you need a solution that ensures accuracy, efficiency, and minimal disruption.
Wavicle’s EZConvertBI solution is designed to meet these challenges head-on, automating the migration and optimizing your BI environment for better performance. Let’s dive into how an automated migration using EZConvertBI simplifies the process, enabling a seamless transition.
Wavicle’s EZConvertBI for Looker automates the migration process from platforms such as Tableau, Qlik Sense, and MicroStrategy to Looker. It ensures a seamless transition while preserving dashboard functionality and optimizing performance. The solution analyzes your existing Looker environment, identifies redundant or unused reports, and streamlines the migration to reduce both time and cost, all while maintaining data accuracy and integrity.
Looker offers high levels of flexibility and security with its in-database architecture, leveraging the scalability of cloud data warehouses. You can enjoy auto-scaling, serverless infrastructure, and seamless Google Cloud integration with secure access to services like BigQuery. Looker also offers deeper insights with natural language queries—this can be a great first step into generative BI – and a Git-versioned modeling layer that ensures consistent, silo-free data across your organization.
In addition, Looker stands out when compared to other business intelligence tools on the market by providing a governed semantic data model that offers users a higher level of trust in their data. Enabled by LookML, this enables analysts to encode business metrics and logic with a single source of truth, ensuring users across the business are using the same calculations and requiring that teams thoughtfully consider their data models and governance programs.
Teams can use Looker as a single source of truth, leveraging its semantic data model via API, while also using visualization tools like Tableau. Using this API compatibility, it is possible to move your data to Looker without needing to move all of your data analytics resources to Looker, which can be an added value for companies considering migration.
