# Looker specialists for your dedicated team.

Looker is a business intelligence platform built around a modelling layer, LookML, where metrics are defined once in version-controlled code and every report derives from those definitions.

## Where Looker fits in a long-term product team.

The modelling layer is the whole point. In most BI tools every dashboard carries its own logic, so two reports disagree and it is unclear which is right. In Looker the definition lives in one reviewed place, and a change flows through consistently.

That rigour is also the cost. LookML has to be maintained by someone comfortable with code review, and an organisation that wants analysts dragging fields around without governance will find it heavier than the alternatives. It suits organisations that have already been burned by conflicting numbers.

## What your dedicated team does with Looker.

A modelling layer is only worth its overhead if every change to it goes through review. LookML edited by whoever is nearest, without review, recreates the sprawl it was adopted to prevent, in a more expensive tool.

The model and the warehouse beneath it are one problem, so they belong to one team through [a dedicated data engineering team](https://azendo.co/services/dedicated-data-engineering-team/).

## Common Looker use cases.

* Ending the metric argument One reviewed definition of each measure, so meetings stop being about whose number is correct.
* Self-service with guardrails Business users exploring within a model that prevents nonsensical joins.
* Maintaining an inherited LookML project A model that has grown unowned brought back to a state someone can safely change.

## Adding Looker skills to your team.

Analytics engineering sits with a managed data team, since the model and the warehouse beneath it go together. Every analytics engineer we assign comes through the Talent Success and Academy programme first.

Looker specialists join your team remotely as dedicated, full-time team members, selected, employed and managed by us in Chiang Mai and Bangkok.
