SHERIDAN, WYOMING - April 14, 2026 - Alteryx has expanded its partnership with Google Cloud, enabling in-place analytics on BigQuery through a new capability called Live Query, with additional Google-optimized features described as forthcoming. The move extends Alteryx One's existing multi-cloud integration stack-already spanning Snowflake, Databricks, AWS, SAP, and Salesforce-into closer native alignment with Google's data warehouse infrastructure. For enterprise analytics teams operating on cloud-native architectures, the capability is designed to reduce data movement, lower processing overhead, and simplify governance obligations by analyzing data where it already lives.
Business impact
In-place analytics removes the need to extract or copy data from a cloud data warehouse before running analysis, cutting latency and data egress costs while keeping lineage and access controls intact on the source system. Alteryx reports that its platform can reduce manual data preparation time by up to 90% and that predictive analytics automation saves users up to 170 full-time equivalent hours per month. Enterprise deployments have reportedly cut costs by up to 70% and generated annual savings of up to $2.2 million-outcomes the company attributes to automated workflows, self-service capability deployment, and reduced analyst overhead. Governed in-place access to BigQuery directly extends those efficiency claims to organizations standardized on Google Cloud.
Motorsport expansion as enterprise proof point
In a parallel announcement, Alteryx has extended its collaboration with McLaren Racing from Formula 1 to include the World Endurance Championship. McLaren uses the Alteryx platform to consolidate race and engineering data-11.8 billion data points by the company's count-for real-time performance analysis and car design decisions. The WEC expansion adds endurance racing cycles to the existing F1 workflow. While the motorsport relationship carries brand visibility, it also serves as a live stress test for high-frequency, high-volume analytics in operationally demanding conditions, a validation point relevant to manufacturing, logistics, and financial services buyers evaluating platform resilience at scale.
Platform capabilities and AI positioning
Alteryx One is structured as a unified analytics platform combining data preparation, predictive analytics, machine learning, and generative AI under a single governed environment. The platform runs across cloud, on-premise, and hybrid deployments, with integrations to Collibra and Atlan supporting data lineage and regulatory compliance tracking. The AI layer includes Alteryx Copilot, an embedded analytics assistant, and Annie, an AI agent designed to handle operational analytics queries. Concurrently, the company has released its 2026 Executive Insights on AI Research report, which examines the organizational challenges of scaling AI across enterprises-a framing consistent with Alteryx's current product positioning. The platform has received recognition across five analyst evaluations spanning Gartner, IDC, Forrester, Dresner, and BARC.
Inspire 2026 and upcoming engagements
Alteryx has opened registration for Inspire 2026, its annual conference for analytics practitioners and enterprise leaders, scheduled for May 18-21 at the JW Marriott Grande Lakes in Orlando, Florida. The event is positioned to cover AI adoption strategy, platform roadmap direction, and industry-specific use case development. It follows the Alteryx Data & AI Roadshow and Virtual Summit in the company's annual engagement calendar. Alteryx reports that more than 8,000 global enterprises across 90-plus countries currently rely on the platform, spanning retail, financial services, insurance, manufacturing, higher education, and the public sector.
