Make decisions and take immediate action based on current, trusted and secure data
Looker, the leading data platform company, today released new features and enhancements that make it easier for everyday users to drive greater value from their business by acting on critical business decisions from trusted, data-driven insights.
“Businesses have been collecting vast amounts of data, but there’s no value until they can understand what the data is telling them,” said Frank Bien, CEO of Looker. “Looker was founded on the principle of supporting those organizations who demand fresh, unlimited, unified, and actionable analytics. We’re addressing the growing need for non-technical users in organizations of all sizes to have the most current data so they can take action to make their businesses more competitive, more profitable and more successful.”
Looker is continuously improving to serve business users by giving them insights they require to do their jobs and the ability to act on those answers immediately within their workflows. Enhancements in this release include:

The Marketing Application by Looker is now ready for customers to try. It analyzes all relevant marketing program performance in a beautifully designed interactive interface, and it allows users to take required actions from within Looker.
