Tableau Business Intelligence presented to Sage UK user group.
Tableau rapid fire analytical and visualisation tool was presented recently to the Sage UK user group by Hugh Meagher from Preception Consulting Ltd.
Using data from sage line 500 Meagher showed that despite the fact that visual interfaces and databases which are two of the success stories of the computer revolution, their synergy to date has been modest, probably because visual interfaces have focused on human capabilities while databases have focused on efficient query processing.
Using Tableau Business Intelligence Software he showed how you can unlock this synergy and shift us from data workers to data thinkers, people who can use data at the speed-of-thought. Connect to Sage data sources and create meaningful reports and share the quickly and securely in a very clear visual manner.
Tableau Software was founded on the idea that analysis and visualization should not be isolated activities but must be synergistically integrated into a visual analysis process. Combine the process of Data Exploration and Data Visualization.
Meagher pointed out that not all executives and planners are able to sift through the gigabytes of data that ERP systems collect, so business intelligence, analytics and dashboards can be useful tools that help decision making and give a claerer visual presentation od company performance.
