CData Connect Cloud is a tool that expands Google Cloud's Looker platform capabilities by connecting to non-native data sources, simplifying the process of obtaining insights from disparate data sources and eliminating the need for manual coding against APIs. It allows users to establish connections to specialized or proprietary systems with just a few clicks, enabling self-service access to live data and removing the hassle of waiting for IT to fulfill customized data requests. Looker's intuitive user interface remains consistent throughout the experience, and reports are built with the most recent data to enable timely decision-making. The tool also provides robust data governance support, including access control down to the individual level, ensuring that sensitive data is accessed only by those who need it. By reimagining data virtualization in the cloud, CData Connect Cloud accelerates business intelligence and reporting, allowing users to point, click, and visualize their data without additional tools or permissions.
