Raw event data like you get from GA360, Adobe Analytics or Snowplow gives you much more information than the aggregated data you see through reports but they can be unwieldy to use. Building an SQL data model allows you to build centralised business rules for things like conversions, traffic sources and rollup events while still being able to change them.
