ABSTRACT
The scale, velocity, and scope of data today demands visualization/reporting tools that deploy quickly. Consisting of highly advanced data visualization features, users can create, display and share interactive reports in almost no time. Tableau is the data visualization tool that uncovers the three kinds of data that exist in every business entity. The abilities of blending datasets, collaborating in real time and platform independence makes it a highly desirable business intelligence technology. Tableau works on an n-tier client-server architecture that supports fast and dynamic deployments. Tableau Online can access data from databases, data warehouses, Hadoop clusters, Big Data Warehouse such as HIVE, Excel files, and cloud applications. Software as a Service business intelligence is a delivery model for business intelligence in which applications are typically deployed outside of a company's firewall at a hosted location and accessed by an end user with a secure Internet connection.
