More than 1,000 Companies Turn to Tableau Online for Analytics in the
Cloud
SEATTLE, April 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Tableau Software (NYSE: DATA)
today announced that more than 1,000 customer accounts are using its
cloud-based product, Tableau Online. The milestone comes just nine
months after the company announced the hosted version of Tableau
Server, making it Tableau's fastest-growing product. Companies both
large and small are now using Tableau Online, including ACT, the
nation's leader in college and career readiness, and JetSuite, the
nation's fastest growing private jet charter company.
Tableau Online brings the power of rapid-fire business intelligence to
the cloud, making analytics easier than ever. People can share, edit
and add new data to dashboards in just minutes. Tableau Online levels
the playing field for fast-moving organizations of any size. Now
everyone has the ability to analyze their corporate data securely,
without hardware or specially trained programmers.
"The rapid adoption of Tableau Online is proof that there's a strong
market for business intelligence in the cloud," said Chris Stolte,
Chief Development Officer and co-founder of Tableau Software. "People
are discovering that cloud analytics can be the fastest way to get
everyone in a company making better data driven decisions today."
Some of the 1,000 customers relying on Tableau Online today include:
-- ACT: "Tableau Online has allowed us to get employees up and running
quickly and with minimal administration," said Tim Kuhns, Principal,
Innovation Research and Analytics Evangelist at ACT, the nation's
leader in college and career readiness. "People are able to log on the
same day we acquire the licenses and immediately start analyzing data.
Tableau Online has also allowed us to avoid the time and cost
associated with setting up local servers. For us, there are many
benefits to doing analytics in the cloud."
-- JetSuite: "Tableau Online offers us a more flexible alternative to
acquiring the human, hardware and software assets that are normally
required to service a business intelligence solution," said Steven
Roy, Director of IT for JetSuite. "Plus, we were able to conceptualize
our solution and design and then deploy dashboards all within a week.
Our employees have widely embraced Tableau Online as a tool to help
them increase productivity and make better decisions with data."
Customers are buying Tableau Online primarily for three reasons:
-- "Go fast" scenarios. This may be a small company looking for its
first analytics solution, or a large company working on a new project
or business. Hosted analytics have advantages of speed over
on-premises solutions, including no need for hardware or dedicated IT
staff.
-- Mobile scenarios. Many companies want to enable executives,
salespeople or other road warriors with secure analytics. Tableau
Online is outside the firewall so it fits this need.
-- Partner and customer analytics. There is tremendous value in
collaborating with partners and key customers on data. However, few
organizations want to bring partners and customers inside the
firewall. Tableau Online provides a place to share analytics,
securely.
