Tableau Software is based on breakthrough technology from Stanford University that lets you drag & drop to analyze data. You can connect to data in a few clicks, then visualize and create interactive dashboards with a few more.
We’ve done years of research to build a system that supports people’s natural ability to think visually. Shift fluidly between views, following your natural train of thought. You’re not stuck in wizards or bogged down writing scripts. You just create beautiful, rich data visualizations.
It's so easy to use that any Excel user can learn it. Get more results for less effort - at speeds 10 - 100x faster than existing solutions.
Tableau also supports the academic community to teach skills around data analysis, informatics, and data visualization. We work with professors in a variety of academic programs ranging from business, computer science, statistics, to policy.
Tableau for Teaching (TfT) is designed to support both instructors and their students by providing:
- Software for use in course work (complimentary)
- Guest speakers from Tableau via the web
- Assistance with data sets and course assignments
An ability to analyze data via effective information visualization techniques is a core skill for many careers. By making it easier for professors to adopt Tableau during academic instruction, TfT ensures that students and educators are better equipped to harness the power of data analysis. We believe that this not only helps students with their coursework but also prepares them for the future.
