Overview

Tableau is a world-leading visual analytics platform founded in 2003 and headquartered in Seattle, USA. With around 2,300 employees, the company helps organizations of all sizes visualize, understand, and use data to solve complex business problems.

The portfolio is complemented by Tableau Prep for efficient data cleaning and preparation, and Tableau Mobile for mobile access. Thanks to intuitive drag-and-drop operation and features like "Ask Data" (natural language querying), the platform enables self-service analytics for users of all skill levels. For enterprise deployment, Tableau offers comprehensive governance and security features to centrally manage data quality and compliance. The platform meets strict security standards, including ISO 27001, ISO 27017, ISO 27018, as well as SOC 2 and SOC 3, and is fully GDPR-compliant.
