What is Okta

The Okta Identity Cloud provides identification security for logins by enterprise employees. It simplifies the login process by making all of an individual’s logins across a company’s software applications the same. An Identity-as-a-Service (IDaaS), Okta ensures secure logins across multiple devices, including phone, tablet, desk computers and laptops. Okta offers a management systems for groups, devices, and applications, and allows the additions of applications to Workplace 365 for extreme versatility.

What is BigQuery

BigQuery is an enterprise data warehouse that draws on the processing power of Google Cloud Storage to enable fast processing of SQL queries through massive datasets. BigQuery helps businesses select the most appropriate software provider to assemble their data, based on the platforms the business uses. Once a business’ data is acculumated, it is moved into BigQuery. The company controls access to the data, but BigQuery stores and processes it for greater speed and convenience.
