How to connect VOGSY to external reporting tools
BI tooling is key
A paramount requirement for an enterprise-grade solution is the ability to provide the data with which customers can create their data insights.
Enterprises use tools like Power BI, Tableau, Looker, and Qlik Sense to extract actionable insights from the VOGSY Data.
BigQuery Datawarehouse
The central part of VOGSY's data strategy is BigQuery.
BigQuery is a fully managed, serverless data warehouse that enables scalable analysis over petabytes of data. It is a core component of Google Cloud's data analytics platform and is specifically designed to handle large-scale data warehousing tasks, including:
Data storage: BigQuery can store massive datasets in various formats, including structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data.
Data analysis: BigQuery allows users to perform complex queries on their data using SQL, a familiar language for data analysts.
Data sharing: BigQuery makes it easy to share datasets with others, both within and outside your organization.
BigQuery connectors
BigQuery has connectors to many popular data visualization and analysis tools. Here's a breakdown of how it works:
Direct Connectors & Native Integrations:
Power BI: BigQuery has a dedicated connector for Power BI, allowing users to import data and create reports and dashboards seamlessly. This integration supports both live connections and data extracts.
Tableau: Similar to Power BI, Tableau offers a native connector for BigQuery. Users can connect to their BigQuery data sources, build visualizations, and perform analysis within Tableau's interface.
Looker: Looker, now part of Google Cloud, has deep integration with BigQuery. It allows users to leverage Looker's data modeling capabilities and create interactive dashboards and reports on top of BigQuery data.
Qlik Sense: Qlik Sense provides a connector to BigQuery, enabling users to load and analyze data from BigQuery within their Qlik Sense applications.
Other Notable Software with BigQuery Connectors:
Google Sheets: You can connect Google Sheets directly to BigQuery, allowing you to analyze and visualize BigQuery data using familiar spreadsheet tools.
Data Studio (Looker Studio): Data Studio has a built-in connector for BigQuery, making it easy to create interactive reports and dashboards.
Access to the data warehouse
VOGSY is responsible for access to and availability of BigQuery. VOGSY provides datasets that customers' BI tools can use.
VOGSY assures that every customer has access to its own instance of BigQuery with only its own data.
