Analytics
News, events, thought leadership and more.
Last week our partners at Tableau announced their IPO. This is a landmark event that continues to mark the major disruption happening in the BI and Analytics space.
Tableau’s visualization technology provides a way for business users to get involved in analytics. It moves away from old-school analytics which was locked away in IT departments and data scientists, and puts the information in the hands of subject matter experts in business units. With the ability to make this information accessible and understandable by business users, Tableau represents the Humanization of Big Data.
Alteryx enriches Tableau by providing powerful statistical, predictive and geo-spatial analytics in an easy to use, drag and drop interface. By enabling powerful analytics, Alteryx represents another level of the Humanizing Big Data. The people who use Alteryx are much like the business users that use Tableau, but they work in the data gathering, cleansing, and blending world, able to bring new data sources and blend them by dragging and dropping icons onto a palette.
But most of all, together we make powerful analytics and amazing visualization accessible to business users. By giving the keys to the business users, together we are causing a true disruption in the analytics field.
Congratulations again to our friends at Tableau – we look forward to our continued partnership in the industry.
