/ how it works /

Live in weeks, not months.

We assess your Malta data warehouse structure and design the LookML model architecture — view definitions, join paths, derived tables, and measure library — aligned with your Malta business domain model.

We develop the LookML semantic model — view files with dimension and measure definitions, model files with Explore configurations, and derived tables for complex pre-computations relevant to Malta business requirements.

We configure Looker Explores for Malta business domains and build dashboards on the semantic model, implementing interactivity and filter controls for Malta business user requirements.

We configure Looker model access, feature access, and field access permissions for Malta business roles, implementing row-level security through LookML access filters.

We configure Explores for analyst self-service, implement field descriptions for discoverability, and train Malta analysts on Looker's exploration interface.

We configure Looker's Git integration for LookML version control, establish the development/production branch workflow, and document the LookML development process for Malta data teams.

Looker FAQ

What makes Looker different from Power BI and Tableau?
Looker's primary differentiator is LookML — a semantic modelling layer where business logic lives in version-controlled code. Power BI and Tableau have semantic layers, but LookML's code-first approach, Git versioning, and strict metric centralisation are more mature. Looker is particularly suited for Malta organisations prioritising metric consistency and self-service analytics at scale. Power BI suits Microsoft-stack Malta businesses; Tableau suits advanced visualisation requirements.
What databases does Looker support?
Looker connects to BigQuery, Snowflake, Databricks, Redshift, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, and many other databases via dialect-specific connections. Each dialect has full SQL generation support; some have advanced features like persistent derived table optimisation. Neural AI configures Looker connections for Malta business data warehouses with appropriate performance optimisation.
What is LookML and do I need developers to use Looker?
LookML is Looker's modelling language — a YAML-like syntax defining views, dimensions, measures, and explores. LookML development requires familiarity with SQL and the LookML syntax, typically done by data engineers or analytics engineers. Once LookML is written, Looker's self-service interface is accessible to Malta business analysts without technical skills. Neural AI writes and maintains LookML for Malta clients, or trains Malta data teams to develop it independently.
How does Looker licensing work?
Looker is licensed per user (Developer, Standard, Viewer tiers) plus platform fees. It is one of the more expensive BI platforms. The investment is justified for Malta organisations needing the semantic layer governance, self-service analytics at scale, or embedded analytics capability. Neural AI advises Malta businesses on whether Looker's capabilities justify the investment relative to alternatives.
Can Looker replace a data warehouse for Malta businesses?
No — Looker queries the data warehouse, it does not replace it. Looker adds a semantic layer on top of Snowflake, BigQuery, or Databricks. The warehouse stores and processes the data; Looker translates business-language queries into SQL and renders results. Malta businesses need both a data warehouse and a BI tool like Looker for enterprise analytics.
What is Looker's relationship with Looker Studio?
Looker and Looker Studio are separate products. Looker Studio (formerly Google Data Studio) is a free self-service BI tool with report-level data connections. Looker is an enterprise platform with a semantic modelling layer, governed self-service analytics, and embedding capability. They can be used together — Looker as the semantic layer feeding Looker Studio — or independently. Neural AI advises Malta businesses on which combination suits their requirements and budget.
