Embedding

Analytics
with the
Looker Platform
As organizations digitally transform to compete and win, the role of the
technology leader becomes increasingly strategic. The shift to digital makes
their technology team’s efforts critical drivers of competitive differentiation
and - by extension - growth. We see this trend reflected in the fact that
growth is now the top priority for technology leaders.

It is essential for these leaders to invest precious engineering resources


on core competencies. By outsourcing the rest, these teams benefit from
a best-of-breed technology stack while achieving a high return on their
expensive in-house engineering efforts.

For organizations like Namely, these types of choices resulted in real


business outcomes: increased revenue and customer engagement, and
decreased costs of development and service. The product and engineering
teams at Namely saw an opportunity to win upmarket against large
incumbents by offering best-in-class analytics in their product. By choosing
the right tools for the job, and focusing technical resources on delivering
more value to the customer, their technologists have slingshotted the
business forward. And they are not alone…

What all these organizations have in common is that they carefully


considered the three most important technology factors to their success:
1. Build efficiently with a customer-centric approach

Looker is unique among embedded analytics providers in helping


engineers build product using the modern agile software development
workflows they expect. Working in git, developers can use version history,
development-staging-production environments, branching, importing
projects, unit testing, and more. The results: reliable releases and best-in-
class developer collaboration for embedded analytics.

Great visual elements are hard requirements for product people … rightfully
so. However, when productizing analytics, it’s key to remember that the
impact of these visual elements are completely dependent on complex
technologies working together properly behind the scenes. Technology

resources where they can make the greatest difference.
