Moving on from Looker

About this webinar

Picture the scene: you start a new data leadership role at a numbers-led organization and the numbers...well, they are not tidy. What's more, your Looker renewal is coming up in a few weeks.

Most people would ride it out. Tackle the problems one by one. Take it easy through your probation period.

We found someone whose immediate response was: "let's fix it all now".

Count's Head of Professional Services is joined by Tim Vyas, Lead Analytics Engineer at GetGround, who began his tenure migrating 44 Looker dashboards to Count. In four weeks.

In this short conversation Tim will share:

  • The story of the migration. How decisions were made, teams resourced, and outcomes evaluated
  • How to weigh up and evaluate platforms based on their strengths rather than just equivalence
  • The important role of data quality in migration and how to deal with all the skeletons that fall out of a large inherited LookML repository
  • The internal challenges of migrating BI, reporting, and data analysis and how to keep stakeholders in the loop
  • Practical wisdom and guidance for thinking about migrations and implementations
  • How Count has changed ways of working across the company.

Who should tune in?

  • Data teams considering migrating or introducing new data platforms into their stack
  • Leaders and exec looking to understand change management in their tech and data teams.
