What is Tableau?
Tableau makes several different products, all within the realm of business intelligence. Among these, their relational databases, data processing cubes, and cloud databases stand out. More recently, the company has launched a new analytics extension that’s compatible with popular data science programs, The platform also supports server management and offers simplified content migration that allows it to compete with other major data management platforms, such as SQL, and it smoothly integrates with popular platforms like Salesforce.
Tableau Development Services
At Dev.co, we offer a range of Tableau development services aimed at helping your business access a broad range of business insight. On its own Tableau offers up simple reports. For businesses ready to tackle more advanced data, though, our Tableau development services offer benefits including:
Dashboard Development
Any time you’re working with detailed data visualizations, your dashboard is your home base. The default frameworks in Tableau don’t reveal much, however. We can develop intuitive, information rich dashboards in line with data visualization design best practices.
Increased Automation
Tableau can help your business manage a great deal of data, but without proper automation in place, it remains a labor intensive platform. By building in extensive automation, we can help your business cut manual data management time. We use a number of recognized APIs to support automation for data extraction, template creation and deployment, and more.
Install Quality Controls
Any time that a business deals with large amounts of data, it also deals with data quality issues. As part of our development services, we can evaluate data quality, addressing common problems with naming and grouping, erroneous null values, and overall consistency. We can also automate functions that commonly lead to quality errors and install code triggering quality control alerts.
Real-Time Data Exchange
Information moves fast, and falling behind can leave your business vulnerable - which is why you can’t afford to lag behind on data updates. By implementing an Extract-Transform-Load (ETL) algorithm, we ensure that your database contains the latest values. You’ll never make a decision based on out of date information again.
Expanded Use
If your business is going to use Tableau, you should maximize its application. That’s why, though its general function is data visualization, we can help you expand your use to enhance collaboration between departments, implement artificial intelligence features like Explain Data, and help your business embrace predictive analytics for a competitive edge.
