Todas as histórias de Technical/IT

Este post continuará a analisar exemplos de questões analíticas típicas que têm em comum o fato de exigirem a agregação de dados em níveis diferentes do nível do foco principal da visualização, por exemplo: Qual foi o maior negócio fechado por vendedor; e qual foi a média desses negócios por país? Qual é o número acumulado de clientes adquiridos por dia e por mercado? Qual é a diferença do lucro do ano até a data, contrapondo o ano atual ao anterior, tendo em conta o último dia em que os dados foram atualizados?

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.

Continuação da discussão sobre as expressões de nível de detalhe (LOD). Como geralmente é mais fácil aprender com exemplos, mostraremos algumas questões analíticas comuns que as expressões de LOD resolvem magistralmente. Vamos começar com exemplos simples e aumentar gradativamente o nível de complexidade ao longo desta série.

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.

Tableau is proud to announce that the control procedures for our Tableau Online service have been verified in a SOC 2 Type I report.

"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.

You may not have heard of GlobalCollect but you probably have used their services. They control web-based payments for many major services across the world. If you’ve ever bought something online it’s likely you’ve used GlobalCollect.

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.
