In today's data world, companies have to consider many scenarios in order to deliver insights to users in a way that makes sense to them. On one hand, they must deliver trusted, governed reporting to inform mission-critical business functions. But on the other hand, they must enable a broad population to answer questions on their own, in an agile and self-serve manner.<\/p>\n
> Reference:<\/strong><\/p>\n Data-driven companies want to democratize access to relevant data and empower their business users to get answers quickly. The trade-off is governance; it can be hard to maintain a single shared source of truth, granular control of data access, and secure centralized storage. Speed and convenience compete with trust and security. Companies are searching for a BI solution that can be easily used by everyone in an organization (both technical and non-technical), while still producing real-time governed metrics.<\/span><\/p>\n Today, a unified experience for both self-serve and governed BI gets one step closer, with our announcement of the first milestone in our integration journey between Looker and Data Studio. Users will now be able to access and import governed data from Looker within the Data Studio interface, and build visualizations and dashboards for further self-serve analysis.<\/span><\/p>\n This association allows Google to provide experiences about Google Cloud<\/a> BI in an integrated, complete way for its users. Business users will feel more important and empowered than ever, while data leaders will be able to maintain the trust and security their organizations need.<\/span><\/p>\n This combination of \u200bself-serve and governed BI together will help enterprises make better data-driven decisions.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n
