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.

1. What is EZConvertBI for Looker?

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.

2. Why should you move to Looker?

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.

3. Is it possible to estimate the time required for a Looker migration using EZConvertBI?

Yes, EZConvertBI includes a report analyzer feature that provides realistic time and resource estimates for your Looker migration. This helps you plan effectively and set expectations for the migration timeline based on your specific needs.

4. Can EZConvertBI assist in data cleansing before migrating from Looker?

Absolutely. EZConvertBI includes a data cleansing feature that identifies and resolves inconsistencies or duplicates in your existing business intelligence platform, ensuring that only clean and relevant data is migrated to Looker for optimal performance.

5. Will my data be secure during the migration?

Your data’s security is a priority during the conversion process. We’ve put in place rigorous security protocols to protect your information, and strictly follow industry best practices to ensure comprehensive data safety. In addition, EZConvertBI is deployed in the client’s environment and all the data including metadata never leaves their environment.

6. How does EZConvertBI minimize downtime during the Looker migration process?

EZConvertBI automates key migration tasks, including the assessment and rationalization of existing dashboards, allowing for a faster and more efficient transition to Looker. This automation significantly reduces manual efforts, minimizing downtime and enabling teams to quickly benefit from their new BI environment. EZConvertBI also helps by identifying unused and duplicate reports and dashboards prior to migration to certify that there are no wasted efforts during the migration.

7. Will the dashboards look the same after the conversion?

While we aim to retain the original look and feel of your dashboards and reports, some minor differences may arise due to different BI platforms’ varying design capabilities. However, our solution ensures that the core integrity and functionality of your data visualizations are fully preserved.

Migrating to Looker doesn’t have to be a complicated or time-consuming process. If you’re ready to make the move, book a free demo today to learn how EZConvertBI can help you transition effortlessly to Looker.
