"Having people in a workshop where we're just putting things on a screen and having a lot of discussions, a lot of wows and hows—that's pretty good. We love it."
"The challenge was to break down data silos, centralize them in a data warehouse, and remove the need to know specific programming languages. Tableau and Alteryx work incredibly well for this. We now have “citizen data scientists”— any employee in any area can become an expert in their data. Tableau helps them tell stories that showcase their data in new, meaningful, compelling ways."
"What would have taken me five hours to do, I can do in one with Tableau."
"Five people and three weeks for one client was yesterday's reality. Now with Tableau, it is two people, fifty clients, in a day or two."
"Tableau has absolutely made us more efficient. We are able to provide specific insights a lot faster. Projects that would linger on for weeks and months before are now completed much faster—weeks have been cut down to days."
"Tableau brings the value of data to nearly everyone internally. We've seen phenomenal growth; its usage doubles every six months. It lets users explore data across a variety of platforms and is used more and more to support strategy."
"I would estimate that we saved at least two weeks of implementation time, and the program definitely increased our confidence with our initial launch of Tableau."
"It is fun. It is totally something new. You end up really digging out the gold nuggets; and the gold nuggets are the data!"
"What used to be a series of 10 boring presentations becomes 10 conversations about the problems that business really has."
"I would say the biggest change is that people are actually thinking about, "How do I do something different in the company?" They're considering Tableau as a tool to change how they work."
"We largely worked in Excel before, and the big benefit now is that everything goes much, much faster. It’s more fun. It looks better."
"I'm one of those people who believe that in the future, you will say "I tableau data" when you analyze numbers, the same way you "google" when you search for something on the Internet, even though you may not be using Google."
"The biggest data sets I've worked on have been about 10 million, and the query speed is incredibly good. It's only a couple of seconds."
"Although we work in different departments, we are linked. With Tableau, we can align everything and see how we need to work together to realize this project."
"For any school district, large or small, you have the issue of trying to tell the story of a student. Tableau allows us, as a school district, to be able to help tell the story in a ‘data way’ about each and every student."
