CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - June 18, 2015 - PRLog -- Looker  – Santa Cruz, California and NorthBay - Cambridge Massachusetts

Looker, a provider of the SaaS business intelligence platform creating data-driven companies and NorthBay Solutions, a premier provider of big data services, today announce a partnership to deliver a unified approach to big data, business intelligence and analytics. NorthBay brings global scale and deep big data experience with hundreds of certified big data specialists around the world.  Looker is a new BI platform that unlocks the value in large, complex datasets by connecting directly to the database (without moving data), providing a modeling layer to describe the data rapidly and flexibly, and enabling data teams to curate a single, reliable lens into the full dataset for business users to explore through a web interface.  Customers will now benefit from a unified big data implementation that includes unifying multiple sources of data into a single warehouse and then leverage the Looker platform to enable customers to get value from their data easily and effectively.

Today, marketing and analytics teams are constantly under pressure to deliver measurable results to the business but are faced with a deluge of marketing, sales, subscriber and other data, campaign dashboards and disparate services that make it difficult to quantify and assess business results across channels in a clear and concise way.

Looker and NorthBay are delivering solutions and services that help marketers and sales teams more quickly and efficiently deliver, manage and analyze user data across all marketing channels, including web, email, mobile and social channels.  This partnership brings together Looker’s BI platform with NorthBay’s experience in big data warehouse and customer intelligence solutions design and big data expertise.

“Organizations tell us they need a simplified way to deliver insight that generate rapid return on investment without being overwhelmed by managing a fragmented spectrum of technologies,” said Brian Barker, NorthBay’s CEO. “NorthBay and Looker are able to deliver a simple, unified solution for marketers and sales teams that achieves better results across all customer experiences and marketing activities quickly.”

“Looker is specifically designed to interact with a new generation of cloud platforms such as Amazon Redshift,” added Frank Bien, founder and CEO of Looker.  “By using the Looker BI platform, NorthBay and Looker can provide their customers with a scalable and global solution platform that can help them focus on their business rather than on the technology,” added Mr Bien.
