Improving Analytics by Using a Modern Data Stack
Emery Sapp and Sons, a heavy civil construction firm, has successfully implemented a modern data stack to improve its analytics capabilities and support business growth. The company's previous on-premises SQL server setup was not flexible enough to scale with the fast-growing organization. By adopting Google BigQuery, dbt, Fivetran, and Looker, Emery Sapp and Sons has automated data integration, reduced maintenance requirements, and empowered other departments with self-service options and high data quality. The new data stack allows the company to handle its growing data needs more efficiently and paves the way for future advancements in machine learning and predictive analytics.
