Google on Thursday made another acquisition for its Cloud-computing business that competes with Amazon.com Inc. Each deal it does is a reminder of Google’s failures so far in this lucrative field and a potential warning sign to the software specialists that have thrived in the last decade. 

Alphabet Inc, Google’s parent company, said that it was spending US$2.6bil (RM10.8bil) to buy Looker, which sells software to help businesses wrangle their data, make charts or other visualisations out of it and glean insights that can improve their operations.
