Live from the Teradata Partners Conference
Posted by Kevin Brown on October 16, 2008
Tableau is exhibiting at this year's Teradata Partners Conference. The booth has been "under siege" by attendees and we've had a hard time keeping up with demonstrations, information requests, etc. As this is our first Partners conference, two things are very apparent: 1) Teradata customers are fanatical about Teradata. I mean this in a positive way, of course. It's impressive to witness this level of enthusiasm in our industry; 2) There is a massive pent-up demand for visual analytics around the Teradata EDW.
Tableau 4.1 Introduces WMS Mapping Support
Posted by Elissa Fink on September 24, 2008
Great news for those of you who are into analytical mapping. Today, Tableau Software released version 4.1 which offers many new enhancements including the ability to use WMS (Web Map Service) map images as background maps for your data visualizations in Tableau Desktop. I personally like some of the satellite maps we've found. 4.1 also offers other enhancements, including Server performance improvements and Active Directory improvements.
Going the Distance: Maps, Calculations, and the Summer Olympics
Posted by Raif Majeed on September 5, 2008
Now that the Olympics are done and the results are in, it's time to look at the data. Using Tableau maps and some creative exporting, I was able to ask new questions about who won and why.
Seattle Walkability
Posted by Robert Morton on August 21, 2008
I recently relocated to Seattle to join Tableau Software, and as I searched for a place to live I realized that I could dramatically reduce my dependence on driving. I used WalkScore.com to find a neighborhood with great access to restaurants, stores and a vibrant community. The attached Tableau visualization shows how lucky I am to live and work in Fremont, the Seattle neighborhood affectionately referred to as "The Center of the Universe!"
Sparklines on Maps
Posted by Richard Wesley on August 18, 2008
One of the exciting new features shipping with Tableau 4.0 is support for map based visualisations. You may have seen demonstrations that place marks such as shapes, circles and even pie charts on maps. But did you know that you can also put small line graphs called sparklines on maps? It takes a bit of work, but with this recipe you can do just that and visualise your own geographically arranged trends.
