Tableau data discovery and visual analytics

Tableau is part of a new generation of Rapid Fire Business Intelligence products that let users explore and analyse their data at the team, department, business unit or enterprise level. This new approach is delivering dramatically better business results, more quickly and at lower cost than traditional methods. There are five key attributes of Rapid Fire BI:

• User Driven Approach – reports and dashboards created by the people using the results
• Easy Visual Interfaces – quick, easy visuals that are interactive and intuitive
• Flexible Configurations – one user with a spreadsheet to hundreds with central infrastructure
• High Performance – get results fast, make changes quickly to track business needs
• Easy Administration – existing business or IT staff can support a Tableau implementation

Included in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Business Intelligence Platforms, and the Inc 500 fastest growing companies, Tableau has also won numerous awards including the Software & Information Industry Association 2010 award for Best Software Development Solution.

Building on the standard spreadsheet user interface paradigm, Tableau is very easy to use and a new user can be up and running within minutes. Once basic proficiency is achieved – usually within a few days – there are three ways to move forward with Tableau:

• Tactical – deliver quick-win results, usually as part of a change programme
• Analytic – explore data to discover new insights, broadening the initial deployment scope
• Strategic – use Tableau to monitor key performance and drive strategy

As Tableau VAR Partners with Tableau Certified Professionals and Consultants on staff we will work with your team on Tactical results. We can also recommend how best to leverage the initial Tableau investment and who in your organization is likely to gain the most benefits from Tableau. 

We like Tableau, but more importantly, so do our customers. In their report, Gartner says Tableau “gained overwhelmingly positive customer survey feedback across the board for functionality, product quality, support, customer relationship, success and view of the vendor's future”

The next step is to tell us your needs and we give you access to a free trial of the product. We will ensure you get these results from this new breed of Rapid Fire BI.
