Tableau is designed to fit your information architecture, giving the most choice and flexibility as your data strategy evolves. From how to deploy to what data you connect to — the choice is yours.
As the organization grew in terms of data, requirements also grew, got expensive [and we] needed a platform that grew with [our] needs, that would scale.

Connect to all of your data — no matter where it resides. Tableau offers native connectors built and optimized for many databases and files — from spreadsheets and PDFs to big data, cube, and relational databases on-premises or in the cloud, even application data or data on the web.
Tableau helps you bring more powerful analysis to more people with extensibility and embedding capabilities. You can even integrate other applications into Tableau dashboards.
Analytics Extensions help make your statistical and predictive models accessible to more people. Extend Tableau calculations to dynamically leverage popular data science programming languages, tools, and platforms—including R, Python, MATLAB, and more.
With our Extensions API, developers can create dashboard objects that enable customers to integrate and interact with data from other applications directly in Tableau. See what other developers and partners have built in the Tableau Exchange .
