Company Description
Founded in 2003, Tableau Software spun out of a research program at Stanford University. After several years of strong growth in the business intelligence sector, Tableau now provides data visualization software to businesses of all sizes throughout the USA and the world. The company is based in Seattle, WA.
Tableau's software focuses on visual analysis, exploring data through data visualization rather than simply generating charts and graphs for reports. Tableau's software provides a intuitive business intelligence tool aimed at a general audience of non-technical end users.
Tableau's flagship products are Tableau Desktop and Tableau Server. Tableau Desktop is a standalone piece of business intelligence software that lets anyone graphically analyze data in existing spreadsheets or databases. Tableau Server interfaces with Tableau Desktop to enable the publishing of interactive dashboards to the web. Tableau's suite of products also includes the free Tableau Reader, which allows anyone to interact with workbooks for free.
Tableau has a strong history of growth in the competitive business intelligence space. The company has a long list of big-name customers, including The New York Times, Toyota, Sony, and Coca-Cola. Tableau's CEO is Christian Chabot, an ex-data analyst and still data geek. Before Tableau, Christian was an Associate Partner at Softbank Venture Capital. Tableau's management team also includes Pat Hanrahan, a Stanford University professor specializing in graphics and visualization, and one of the founding employees of Pixar.
