This has really been a paradigm shift
for us and what their direction that we
want to be going so we want IT focused
more on, you know, the bigger strategic
part. And we really want to give more
freedom to the business to do the
analytics that they need to do. Tableau approached us about this new initiative
called Tableau Drive. It's very different than the traditional BI engagement between IT
and the business users. It's much less of a "tell us what you want and let us build you
something" and much more of a "let's
figure out together what's the right
thing to build." The Tableau Drive process
is running very well it's been very
helpful
the Tableau Drive process has helped us
figure out how to strike a balance
between allowing the creativity of
self-service, while also driving the
governance when and where it makes sense.
It really let us pick and choose the
good parts that IT is able to bring to
a project--some of the the governance
models and support without doing some of
the things that just create a bottleneck.
While the business has the freedom to
really figure out what they want to be
doing in the analytics that they want to
be running for their business,
you know, and doing it real time. I
recommend using Tableau Drive,  particularly
if you've reached an inflection point
in your organization where you're looking for how to deploy enterprise-wide standards and
still allowing users to have that
creativity and self-service model.
