Data in the Fast Lane: Building a Self-Service Culture at Arrive
Doreh Bovelet, Senior Manager - Business Analytics at Arrive.
How Arrive put data in the fast lane by scraping and rebuilding our Looker instance. We’ll cover our journey from siloed dashboards and inconsistent KPIs to a structured hub & spoke architecture, where automation, self-service, and governance drive real business impact.
The third wave of analytics – where Looker meets agents and semantic layers
Michael Forsberg, CTO Forefront Google Innovation, Forefront
How can data be transformed from numbers in dashboards into autonomous decisions that drive business forward? In this seminar we will showcase how Looker is much more than just a visualization platform. By combining semantic layers with intelligent agents, Looker becomes a hub that not only consumes and presents data – but also acts on it.
We will demonstrate how agents can make autonomous decisions, for example when it’s time to replenish inventory, and how this opens up new opportunities across dashboards, APIs, and the entire machinery behind a modern data platform.
Welcome!
