Telstra Super Bolsters Business Intelligence Capabilities with Tableau Software

Telstra Super, Australia’s largest corporate superannuation fund, has fully adopted Tableau Software’s rapid-fire business intelligence, bringing advanced analytics and rapid reporting to help shape the fund’s product innovation and service delivery.

With a membership base of 100,000 people across Australia and more than $11 billion in assets, Telstra Super has been gathering data about its members and their behaviors for more than 22 years. Tableau has allowed its internal business intelligence unit to centralize, analyze and interact with member and transactional data like never before.

“Tableau has allowed us to build on our unique segmentation model and access the massive amounts of member data collected throughout our history. We’ve been able to bring a large and diverse membership demographic to life in ground-breaking visual ways,” said David Calistro, Business Intelligence manager at Telstra Super.

“With the Australian retirement savings industry in a prolonged state of government-driven reform, these deepened insights are essential to helping us make informed product development and member service decisions, as well as developing more meaningful relationships with our stakeholders.”

Calistro said that Tableau’s visualizations and dashboards better enable Telstra Super to analyze:
•Member analytics and segmentation in support of marketing and communications activities
•Member profiling to enable new business and product strategy and development
•Service and fund performance analysis to facilitate market and competitor benchmarking
•Management reporting and KPI dashboards to business stakeholders

“Australian companies like Telstra Super are accumulating huge volumes of data and need ways to see and understand it better,” said JY Pook, VP of Asia Pacific for Tableau. “Tableau’s fast, easy, self-service analytics can help to get a better picture of business intelligence and identify issues and opportunities that might pop up before they even happen.”
