See the recording at http://looker.com/learn#ufh-i-225858450-driving-data-democracy-hadoop-amazon-redshift The Hadoop ecosystem has improved markedly over the past few years. Moreover, MPP databases seem to slot in nicely as complementary tools to map-reduce batch jobs, in that they allow analytics teams to easily query massive structured data sets. Rex Gibson, Manager of Data Engineering at Knewton and Scott Hoover, Data Scientist at Looker walk through how these pipelines work. They discuss: - their technology and data stacks - possible drawbacks to Hadoop + Redshift - the merits and drawbacks associated with making data processing and querying more “democratic.”

Power to the People: A Stack to Empower Every User to Make Data-Driven Decisions

Looker

Infectious Media runs on data. But, as an ad-tech company that records hundreds of thousands of web events per second, they have have to deal with data at a scale not seen by most companies. You can not make decisions with data when people need to write manual SQL only for queries take 10-20 minutes to return. Infectious Media made the switch to Google BigQuery and Looker and now every member of every team can get the data they need in seconds. Infectious Media shares: - Why they chose their current stack - Why faster data means happier customers - Advantages and practical implications of storing and processing that much data Check out the recording at https://info.looker.com/h/i/308848878-power-to-the-people-a-stack-to-empower-every-user-to-make-data-driven-decisions

Looker

Stop Refreshing Vanity Metrics & Start Focusing on the Metrics that Inform Decisions There is a propensity to focus on vanity metrics; metrics that show you the score: How many new views, new daily active users, how much revenue last week. You may slice these by different attributes - geography, platform, user demographics. While this can help you understand the high level trends in your business, it does little to tell you how to get better. This slide deck looks at how vanity metrics can distract you from focusing on the analysis that matters, which is identifying and measuring the metrics that drive decisions. There are several real examples of how companies (Venmo, Simply Business, and Looker) have used event data in highly customized ways to make better decisions about their products.

Winning the 3rd Wave of BI

Looker

In this webinar, Looker CEO, Frank Bien hosts a panel of BI experts including Cigna, Blue Apron and BuzzFeed, to discuss what he calls the “3rd Wave of BI”, and how you can ride it to win. During the 1st wave of BI everyone had to wait for data and the insights they needed. The introduction of data visualization in the 2nd wave made it easy for anyone to grab data from anywhere and do it themselves. Today’s 3rd Wave of BI creates a common data language for your business, making it easy for anyone to find, explore and do more with data. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear Frank Bien chat with a panel of BI experts to help you: - Understand the current shift in BI tech - Utilize 3rd wave trends in every aspect of your business - Learn from others successfully riding the 3rd wave

Identifying Users Across Platforms with a Universal ID Webinar Slides

Looker

Before you can dive into any kind of advanced customer behavior analysis, you have to make sure you're counting each user once and only once. This is a surprisingly difficult problem, especially with customer touchpoints across devices. To accurately measure your users, you have to tie identities across anonymous and logged-in sessions, account for when people change their email addresses, and plan for cross-platform interactions. In this webinar, Erin Franz, data analyst from Looker, and Will Johnson, Success Lead at Segment, share signals that you are miscalculating your users and methods for creating a universal user ID.

Analyzing Mixpanel Data with SQL

Janessa Lantz

Customer analysis is becoming more popular, and more complicated. As a result, many companies are turning to Mixpanel to move beyond simple visitor information, and start tracking the actions their users are taking. But what’s the best way to analyze this data? That’s the subject of our latest webinar, Analyzing Mixpanel Data with SQL. Andy Granowitz from Wagon and Shaun McAvinney from RJMetrics will discuss the importance of analyzing Mixpanel data alongside data from your other data sources, the challenges in consolidating that data, and how to query that data using SQL to find valuable insights into your users' actions.

Advanced Analytics Implementations at EA scale

Ani Lopez

Designing and managing advanced analytics implementations for 35+ digital properties, across more than 10 different production teams, is not an easy task. It became even more challenging when the analytics team at Electronic Arts (EA) was required to migrate from Adobe Site Catalyst to Google Analytics Premium to Google Universal Analytics, all within the span of 18 months. Of course, all of this had to be done while still keeping pace with the company’s frenzied schedule for publishing blockbuster games, each of which requires new sites and countless marketing campaigns. See how we used Tealium iQ™ tag management system to achieve our objectives.

On 2020-12-09 Laurens Vijnck and Jonny Daenen gave a workshop at PXL. During this session, we collectively provisioned a streaming ingestion pipeline in mere minutes. The technology stack included Pub/Sub, Dataflow, and BigQuery. Hereafter, students had the opportunity to perform interactive queries on their own real-time data to answer a series of business questions. These questions were borrowed from real-life cases that we encountered at Selligent Marketing Cloud. Google Colab (Free Jupyter Notebooks) and Google Data Studio have proven to be excellent tools to facilitate these kinds of interactive sessions.

The Briefing Room with Dr. Robin Bloor and HP Vertica Live Webcast on April 15, 2014 Watch the archive: https://bloorgroup.webex.com/bloorgroup/lsr.php?RCID=ad9b301880f27007e836560cf3cd8904 Hadoop has emerged as a chief solution for big data challenges, and businesses are eager to capture the potential value from the vast pools of newly available information assets. But when the data lake is comprised of semi-structured data – click stream logs, sensor data, text files – it can make access and performance a bit more difficult to achieve. One way to clear the hurdle is by using an analytic platform, specifically one that has been designed to enable exploration of Hadoop data using standard SQL queries. Register for this episode of The Briefing Room to hear from veteran Analyst Robin Bloor as he explains the role big data plays in enterprise analytics. He’ll be briefed by Jeff Healey and Eamon O'Neill of HP Vertica, who will tout their company’s Flex Zone, a new component of its Analytics Platform. They will discuss how Flex Zone empowers data scientists and business analysts by tapping into Hadoop via SQL, providing a one stop shop for real-time analytics on massive volumes of data.

The Briefing Room with Dr. Robin Bloor and WhereScape Live Webcast on April 1, 2014 Watch the archive: https://bloorgroup.webex.com/bloorgroup/lsr.php?RCID=7b23b14b532bd7be60a70f6bd5209f03 In the Big Data shuffle, everyone is looking at Hadoop as “the answer” to collect interesting data from a new set of sources. While Hadoop has given organizations the power to gather more information assets than ever before, the question still looms: which data, regardless of source, structure, volume and all the rest, are significant for affecting business value – and how do we harness it? One effective approach is to bolster the data warehouse environment with a solution capable of integrating all the data sources, including Hadoop, and automating delivery of key information into the rights hands. Register for this episode of The Briefing Room to hear veteran Analyst Robin Bloor as he explains how a rapidly changing information landscape impacts data management. He will be briefed by Mark Budzinski of WhereScape, who will tout his company’s data warehouse automation solutions.

Maintainable Machine Learning Products

Andrew Musselman

Machine learning applications are typically stitched together from hopes and dreams, shell scripts, cron jobs, home-grown schedulers, snippets of configuration clipped from multiple blog posts, thousands of hard-coded business rules, a.k.a. "our SQL corpus," and a few lines of training and testing code. Organizing all the moving parts into something maintainable and supportive of ongoing development is a challenge most teams have on their TODO list, roadmap, or tech debt pile. Getting ahead of the day-to-day demands and settling into a sane architecture often seems like an unattainable goal. The past several years have seen an explosion of tool-building in the data engineering and analytics area, including in Apache projects spanning the areas of search and information retrieval, job orchestration, file and stream formats, and machine learning libraries. In this talk we will cover our product and development teams' choices of architecture and tools, from data ingestion and storage, through transformations and processing, to presentation of results and publishing to web services, reports, and applications.

The Power of Smart Counting at The RealReal

Looker

Counting — the foundation for marketing analytics. While it seems simple (How many people placed orders last week?), it's often not. What’s regularly missing is speed and flexibility, causing you to wait hours or days for the data you need, or realizing you actually need that data sorted by state and having to start all over again. Suddenly, you’ve become the data analyst's worst nightmare — the marketer who always needs more. This webinar covered how The RealReal created a culture where everyone has access to the data they need and data is the foundation of all decisions. They use Looker for: - Flexible segmentation: marketers slice and dice the raw data without hitting technical dead-ends. - Behavior segmentation: easily identifying their healthiest customers and flagging those who are at risk. - Segment-based campaign evaluation: use behavioral segmentation to track whether campaigns are driving the behavior you expect.

Data Modeling in Looker

Looker

Quick iteration and reusability of metric calculations for powerful data exploration. At Looker, we want to make it easier for data analysts to service the needs of the data-hungry users in their organizations. We believe too much of their time is spent responding to ad hoc data requests and not enough time is spent building, experimenting, and embellishing a robust model of the business. Worse yet, business users are starving for data, but are forced to make important decisions without access to data that could guide them in the right direction. Looker addresses both of these problems with a YAML-based modeling language called LookML. This paper walks through a number of data modeling examples, demonstrating how to use LookML to generate, alter, and update reports—without the need to rewrite any SQL. With LookML, you build your business logic, defining your important metrics once and then reusing them throughout a model—allowing quick, rapid iteration of data exploration, while also ensuring the accuracy of the SQL that’s generated. Small updates are quick and can be made immediately available to business users to manipulate, iterate, and transform in any way they see fit.

Custom Calculations: Your business is unique — shouldn't your metrics be?

Looker

Analytics is about so much more than defining high-level KPIs and building dashboards to amplify them. With a little creativity, you can create custom metrics designed to inform every member of an organization. With this knowledge of their effect on the business, everyone can optimize their impact on company-wide goals. What you'll learn: -Why standard KPIs may not be getting you everything you need -Who can benefit from these new metrics (everyone!) -How to identify key metrics and roll them out to the entire organization -Get examples of how other companies are creating custom analytics
