Case Study: Applied Systems achieves unified, secure self-service BI with Looker

Applied Systems Delivering on-demand insights with a unified, embeddable BI platform

Applied Systems, a long-time provider of digital workflow and data-driven tools for insurance agencies and brokerages, struggled with data and BI silos after rapid growth and acquisitions. Its products used separate data stores and models, while BI relied on a custom app plus third-party tools like Tableau and Power BI, creating inconsistent user experiences, heavy maintenance needs, and manual report-building. Applied Systems needed a scalable way to deliver secure, self-service insights.

Applied Systems implemented a unified, embeddable BI platform using Looker on Google Cloud, including Embedded Looker to build a dashboard app and establish one data layer with consistent controls. The solution improved user-level security, standardized insights, and reduced manual reporting bottlenecks so customers could generate their own custom reports. With Looker, Applied Systems was able to streamline analytics, improve operational self-service, and innovate faster.
