How Data Visualization using Tableau can help your business grow

If you are a #startup or #SME business owner reading this document, it may be because you have heard about Tableau or seen visual analytics made with Tableau on Tableau Public.?

Maybe one of your colleagues has shown you the benefits of using Tableau and its focus on these visual analytics, designed to obtain insights and gather business intelligence rapidly.?

All these factors are increasingly important nowadays, and both small family businesses and large corporations are increasingly demanding them.

Tableau has been a Leader – for eight years in a row and is triumphing by helping businesses create fantastic visualizations.?

Although, the world of Data Analytics and Visualization, and Business Intelligence in general, has been a very slow-growing sector for years.?

One of the bottlenecks is adaptability to slow digital transformation by the Indian SMEs and MSMEs.

Cool! Then, let’s learn more about Tableau.

What is Tableau?

Tableau is a Business Intelligence platform with a clear mission: help people view, and understand data and offer essential analytical solutions. Moreover, its drag-and-drop feature makes it super business-user-friendly software. Indeed, with a couple of Industry Upskilling and capacity-building training sessions, most MSME business owners can learn how to operate tableau and interpret the data.

But what does Tableau have to offer? Let's see!

Tableau Prep - It is helpful for data source planning, cleaning, and combination. For all those everyday tasks we do on Excel, external queries on SQL, or other functions that we outsource to the already overwhelmed IT teams to do for us.

Tableau Desktop – It is helpful to connect to every data source to get BI answers, identify outliers, analyze KPIs or create interactive dashboards. These dashboards can be exploratory to allow the user to determine their insights, or they can be explicative to show users key points and explanatory of the business’ situation.

Tableau Public (Free) – It enables us to share our reports, answers, and dashboards with all the other users within our company or our clients. They also allow us to define authorizations to make sure that the people or teams that should have access are the only ones allowed in. Ultimately, this tool has everything necessary for every company to obtain the best from Tableau.

What differentiates Tableau Server from Tableau Online is that Tableau Server requires management and maintenance.

On the other hand, Tableau Public is a Tableau Server version hosted by Tableau directly, where the user only has to manage content, users, etcetera.

What kind of data can Tableau connect?

You can connect every kind of diversified data with Tableau.?Various data formats can be uploaded, including Excel, CSV, TXT, Shapefiles, PDFs, and JSON. Or upload data from databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Oracle, and MongoDB. Wow! That’s an extensive list!?

What differences Tableau from other BI platforms?

Do you know how Excel behaves with large data files, despite being one of the handiest business platforms? I am talking about a massive data file, say 15 million rows. Excel will start crying, haha!

Let’s see what areas make Tableau unique.

Easy to use - Every tool requires a learning process, but the learning curve with Tableau is significantly better than other platforms.?You can almost do anything dragging and dropping. Nearly every option is there with a click, and everything seems intuitive and easy, but simultaneously, you have seamless possibilities.

Any analyst or company employee can be bored with making graphics on PowerPoint, repeating those steps once data is updated, and doing the same tasks a thousand times.?Tableau, with its user-friendliness, makes Data Analysis and Visualization an enjoyable, engaging, and rewarding process.

Superb Community Support?- You’ll find a friendly and helpful community of developers worldwide to support and help you.?User groups, webinars, Tableau Public users, and Twitter experts are constantly bringing forth useful ideas to those who need them.?

Maybe they can teach you how to do something inside the platform or share their work that can be helpful for you to apply to your daily routine.?

Easy to Implement?- It’s super-easy with Tableau for any Small and Medium enterprise to implement data-driven business solutions. Thus, it will accelerate the digital transformation process. Also, training someone in the organization as a Tableau operator is not challenging too!?
