Key features and benefits
Following are the key features of the Reltio GBQ connector and the benefits associated with each feature:
Enjoy the benefits of low Code/no code with Reltio’s data pipeline
During implementation, you're responsible for bringing your GBQ project, dataset name, and allowing Reltio permissions to write data into your GBQ environment. From there, you only need to follow Reltio-provided instructions and code to finish the setup to connect data to your GBQ. After implementation, Reltio routinely pushes data to your GBQ environment, so you don't have to pull any data or schedule any jobs from Reltio as Reltio manages the data pipeline, schema, and format moving forward.
Get a complete view of your data with the support of Reltio data types
Entity, relation, interaction, match, and merge tables are provided, which you can query at any time. A single entity can be tracked across tables to understand relationships and transactions with other entities. Certain attributes and source data can be identified within a single entity profile. To enhance mastering of data, potential matches and historical merges of entities can be analyzed to refine and improve processes upstream in the Reltio platform. Further, all data represented in these tables reflect the deduplication, enrichment, and standardization functions that occur in the Reltio platform to represent trusted and connected data in any type of analytical model, calculation, report, or visualization allowed within your GBQ environment. Lastly, all data in these tables can be combined with other sources of data in GBQ to represent a single source of truth factor within your analytics and data science applications.
Analyze brand-new Reltio data in near real-time
Several data-related activities can occur within the Reltio platform at any given time. You may update the policy date after a customer renewal event, delete a relation between two entities after a merge has taken place, or add a new data source for Reltio to cleanse. Regardless of any activity that occurs in the Reltio platform, the Reltio GBQ connector will capture and display the latest version of a data update and display the most recent object, like an entity or relation in the customer’s GBQ environment that would be available to query. Further, any data update that would occur upstream in the Reltio platform would be reflected in your GBQ environment in a matter of minutes by applying both Reltio’s and Google Cloud Platform's (GCP) streaming technology to push events in near-real time, so that you'll always have access to the latest data for producing insights.
