Tableau DriveA practical roadmap for scaling your analytic culture

Change isn’t coming. It’s here.

Business users demand self service…

The “perfect” data warehouse is a myth. Data is everywhere.

…wherever they are.

Databases Big Data Spreadsheets Application Data Cloud

It will not work• If IT and Business are “at war”• if the organization thinks business users should

not have data• If the supporting technology is not nimble• If there is no champion
