A PPC data warehouse is a large repository for current and historical data from sources across an organization. A data warehouse can be used to analyze historical data across a large, diverse set of data simultaneously.

For a digital advertising agency, a data warehouse is the first step forward toward democratizing data across their organization.

Businesses utilize data warehouses to aggregate and store multiple disparate sources of data together. Using a data warehouse, huge quantities of data can be stored and analyzed together to uncover valuable business insights.

Shape's Data Warehouse is a data repository that houses your organization's PPC data. Data from eight advertising networks is stored together which allows you to analyze current and historical digital advertising data for your organization or clients simultaneously.

Shape’s Data Warehouse is built on top of Google BigQuery: Google’s fully-managed data warehouse product running on the Google Cloud Platform.

BigQuery allows users to scan and analyze massive amounts of stored data in seconds. Digital advertising agencies benefit from the same massive processing power and infrastructure Google uses to analyze their own data across services such as Google Search, Gmail, and more.

Data from eight ad networks is downloaded and populated in the Shape Data Warehouse via Shape’s universal API. The API enables Shape to analyze billions of impressions across millions of ads each day.

Each day, the Shape Data Warehouse aggregates data from:

Shape Data Warehouse customer data is secure and accessible with little to no downtime. BigQuery provides automatic data replication for disaster recovery and high availability of processing. BigQuery offers a 99.9% SLA and adheres to the Privacy Shield Principles.
