In May we
launched
Google BigQuery, a fully managed cloud-based service that enables businesses to analyze
enormous amounts of data in the cloud. While we're continually amazed by the range of
business problems being solved, we
recognize that writing one-off scripts to ingest data, or creating custom front-end
integration, requires effort and takes away time from the fun stuff: getting results.
So today we're pleased to highlight a few new members of our Cloud Platform Partner Program
that are here to help you be even more productive – by delivering tools integrated with
BigQuery that make it much easier to automatically load data from a broad set of sources, as
well as to analyze and visualize the data with spectacular dashboards.
Import data from multiple sources into BigQuery
We’ve partnered with
Informatica,
Pervasive
Software,
Talend and
SQLstream to make it easier to
bring data from a variety of sources into BigQuery. This means you can use their BigQuery
connectors to move data very easily from on-premise or cloud IT systems to BigQuery. For
example,
TribusPoint, a consulting firm,
leveraged the Informatica Cloud BigQuery connector to rapidly move large files from their
on-premise data centers to BigQuery.
Build rich interactive dashboards on BigQuery
We’ve partnered with data visualization providers
QlikTech,
Jaspersoft,
Bime Analytics and
Metric Insights to
help you build rich, interactive dashboards for a broad range of customers. You can use their
tools to build dashboards and reports very easily. For example,
Pixelfish leveraged Metric Insights BigQuery
integration to create dashboards that delivered a 300% improvement in customer
engagement.
Click the partner links above to see more specific customer examples of each. We have just
scratched the surface on Google BigQuery. We can’t wait to see what other cool applications
you can build on
Google
BigQuery using our APIs. Hack away!
