As part of this initiative, Google Cloud engineering teams validate partner integrations into BigQuery in a three-phase process: a Google Cloud team runs a series of data integration tests and compares results against benchmarks, the team then works closely with partners to fill any gaps before the teams refine documentation for mutual customers.
Achieving this designation demonstrates that Ascend.io’s data pipeline automation platform fulfills essential functional and interoperability standards when used with BigQuery. This recognition allows customers to find and have greater assurance that the Ascend platform will function seamlessly with BigQuery, or it can save them time in assessing it if they’re not already utilizing the platform. As a member of the program, Ascend gains additional opportunities to work closely with Google Cloud partner engineering and BigQuery teams in crafting shared development roadmaps.
