Solution

Telenor Norway uses Google Cloud to address this challenge: Telenor needed to move from static, centralized reporting to governed self-service analytics so business users could ask natural-language questions without losing trust in the numbers. Looker provides the governed conversational analytics surface and semantic layer for self-service data exploration, serving as the serving layer. BigQuery stores the anonymized Google Cloud data that powers real-time production analytics, serving as the storage layer. Vertex AI supports the AI-driven conversational experience layered on top of the governed data foundation, serving as the compute layer. Anonymized telecom data is stored in BigQuery, LookML defines trusted business logic inside Looker, and conversational analytics uses that semantic layer to turn natural-language questions into accurate governed answers that can trigger downstream actions. The implementation integrates with Hightouch, SMS, email campaigns.
