"Personally, my biggest job as a director is making judgments based on facts and hypotheses, rather than analysis. The greatest benefit I've had from the introduction of Tableau has arisen from its ability to free up time for thinking by reducing time spent on analysis."
"At Merkle we deal with all sorts of data. We do big data, we do medium data, we do small data. We do all the data.Any one of those data pieces could be just as important as the other. Feeding it into a tool like Tableau so you can really explore that data … It just really helps."
"We can support our decisions with the data; that is something that was not like this before. We have been able to develop—without being experts—dashboards that are highly interactive, in a very short time."
"I’m able to do more analysis on the same data. A lot of the federal databases have such rich data, but with our dashboards, we can make information more accessible to community partners who only use the data once a year and don’t know how to retrieve it themselves."
"Now, the data from our Microsoft CRM Dynamic system is right there at the end of my fingertips in Tableau. We just write the code on the backend using SQL, and it does live extracts every day."
“This combination of data is incredibly powerful, It paints a connected picture between the work the department is doing and the outcomes we work to affect.”
"Tableau allows us to quickly automate processes that used to take thousands-literally thousands of hours, into seconds."
"Marketing is increasingly influenced by data. It is more competitive and is based more on facts and figures than ever before. To quantify the figures properly, you must be able to analyze them sensibly. And Tableau is definitely a big help for that."
"We produced the Tableau dashboard, we put it out in the field, and the directors in the field made the changes. We're seeing operations actually make changes because they're able to see the data and see what was going on."
"We didn’t think that our food banks were consuming the data the way that we would like. We found out that they were looking at the spreadsheets and saying, So? One of my staff found Tableau and brought it to my attention, and as soon as I saw it, I said, This is beyond a map! This is great! We need this, we need to get this."
"Tableau Online completes the experience. We design our dashboards to help maximize the information they see and they draw their conclusions. And the mere fact that we can design something and have a seamless delivery mechanism—I think that's the real power for our clients."
"We're enabling [sales teams] to extract insights they would otherwise not be able to achieve. It enables us to partner with their customers rather than just sell to them, and that's extremely valuable and extremely differentiating."
"Since our most recent purchase, we have grown from 0 to 9000 users in the company. We have been very rapidly deploying Tableau."
"With our real-time analytics, we're able to do things like make staffing decisions on the fly. Tableau has really helped us understand how to better use the resources that we have."
"Tableau gives people the ability to actually know the exact numbers behind things. I know the number of people that are coming. I know the number of people that have bought a certain ticket special. I know the next day we have a cap giveaway, so more people might be buying for that game."
