Todas las historias de Technical/IT

En esta publicación continuaremos analizando ejemplos de preguntas de análisis comunes que requieren agregar los datos en niveles diferentes al del enfoque principal de la visualización, como el siguiente: ¿Cuál es el trato más grande cerrado por vendedor y el promedio de estos tratos por país? ¿Cuál es el número acumulado de clientes adquiridos por día en cada mercado? ¿Cuál es la diferencia entre el beneficio hasta la fecha de este año y del año anterior en relación con el último día en que se actualizaron los datos?

Following Tableau's position in the 2015 Gartner Magic Quadrant we decided to compile a list of real-world #outlier visualizations, from sports, nature, food and more.

Continuamos examinando las expresiones de nivel de detalle (LOD). Dado que suele ser más fácil aprender de ejemplos, presentaremos algunas preguntas de análisis comunes que las expresiones LOD responden de manera elegante. Comenzaremos con ejemplos sencillos e iremos aumentando la complejidad progresivamente.

Bill Inmon is known by many as the Father of Data Warehousing. He pioneered the concept with his 1992 book 'Building the Data Warehouse' and later went on to do research in unstructured data. In 2003, he founded Forest Rim Technology, which builds databases out of textual data. David Baudrez is the Head of Business Insight for Cisco Commercial in EMEA. A global IT leader, Cisco provides products and services that help people communicate all around the world. Samit Yadav is the Senior Technology and Operations Director at PharmaSecure, a software and technology company that's working towards improving global public health. Bill, David, and Samit are all Tableau customers who we recently got to interview. We enjoyed hearing what they're doing with data and technology, and are excited to share their stories with you!

"We have more time to do what IT does best," says Rob Villareal, Business Intelligence Competency Lead at World Wide Technology (WWT). WWT is a global provider of systems integration technology and services and supply chain solutions—and they've implemented Tableau across multiple departments. We spoke with Rob, as well as with Operations Manager Lance Leonard, about the impact they've seen across the organization. As Rob puts it, "Every department is interacting with Tableau. We've been rolling it out to one vertical at a time, but at this point everybody is involved in some form or another.” And he's seen "a huge appetite for data." Perhaps most surprising, however, is the effect this has had on IT. In the interview, Rob shares how IT gained greater insight into the way people are accessing data across the organization. Rather than fostering an environment of “shadow systems,” their Server implementation has empowered greater alignment and visibility. And IT and business both love that.

"It's not just about the tool." That was one key quote from Paul Banoub’s TC On Tour Session. As a director of agile Business Intelligence services at UBS it’s his job to not only purchase and install enterprise-ready applications but also ensure they are adopted by the user.

The Google I/O announcement everyone is buzzing about is their new data pipeline service. Google Cloud Dataflow means ingesting, transforming, and analyzing big data in the cloud just got a lot easier. Even better, Tableau users already leveraging the power of Google BigQuery will be able to take full advantage of Dataflow to ease their heavy data lifting headaches.

When I joined Tableau's Product Marketing Team in January, I immediately sat down and asked myself "How can we make it easier to learn to use Tableau Desktop?" Getting basic familiarity with the product shouldn't be a daunting experience. Thus the Starter Kit was born. Have you downloaded Tableau but don’t quite know where to start? Tried a few things but don’t yet know what you don’t know? Look no further; the Tableau Desktop Starter Kit is here to help.
