How Is Tableau BI Reporting Different?
Tableau reduces the gap between IT and Users
It is the normal order of day in most companies that the teams who use data to inform business decisions and the teams that create that processes used to collate that data are separate. This gap in functions can often lead to fractures within the company with for example, the IT department complaining that the marketing team puts pressure on their time while the marketing department complains that IT is not flexible enough.
Tableau has the key
This scenario is not uncommon and in most cases cannot be helped. The IT department will never have the ability to read the minds of business makers and therefore customise software to their exact needs. This is the key to Tableau Software. Its user driven approach means that the people using the data are the people creating the surveys and presenting the results. This increased flexibility gives decision makers the power to analyse data in seconds and make decisions just as quick.
Tableau Software is unique
Tableau Software’s unique business intelligence capability begins by giving users the ability to access databases of any size and draw down information from data warehouses be they OLAP or desktop data such as Excel. Tableau then presents the user with a dashboard of analysis which can be easily manipulated (by dragging and dropping) or modified to allow the decision maker to quickly make new calculations.
Tableau reports start with interactive visualizations
This increased functionality totally eliminates the need for IT to be involved in the process of report making, freeing up both the time of IT departments and decision makers. As it is possible to publish Tableau reports using interactive visualizations and dashboards, it is also possible for users to collaborate with other colleagues be they in different departments or different countries.
Tableau Software not only makes it easy to tailor reports, it also makes it easy and efficient to share those reports. If you would like more information on how Tableau can benefit your business, contact MXI Soft today.
Business Intelligence is should be an intuitive, drag-and-drop business application that lets you see every change as you make it. Business Intelligence is about maintaining your train of thought without taking your eyes off your data.
That is how business intelligence should be, but is it? MXI wanted to see if businesses were using business intelligence to transform stubborn databases and spreadsheets into sources for easy investigations. So we ran a Business Intelligence Survey to find out, find out for yourself.....
