Tableau Upgrade
January 25, 2011
Look out, BI providers, “Tableau Upgrade Heats Up Cool BI World” reports on Tableau Software’s new 6.0 version. The reviewer here is impressed with the easy to use visual discovery tool, leveraging of the underlying database, and scalability. Also of note is “Data Blending,” the ability to handle multiple data sources: “The lack of this option was one of the oft-cited reasons customers [previously] would choose other products over Tableau. With Data Blending, an end user can drag and drop new data sources onto a visualization. As long as the dimension names are conformed, the tool will automatically create the joins.” Her final analysis is that many people who haven’t tried Tableau before will now. There has been a lot of talk about Tableau and data integration, and this new version may catch search and content processors by surprise.
