Tableau Software is a software company[1] headquartered in Seattle, Washington, United States that produces interactive data visualization products[2] focused on business intelligence.[3] It initially began in order to commercialize research which had been conducted at Stanford University's Department of Computer Science between 1999 and 2002.[4] It was founded in Mountain View, California in January, 2003 by Chris Stolte, who specialized in visualization techniques for exploring and analyzing relational databases and data cubes.[5] The product queries relational databases, OLAP cubes, cloud databases, and spreadsheets and then generates a number of graph types.
Tableau has a mapping functionality,[6][7] and is able to plot latitude and longitude coordinates and connect to spatial files[8] like Esri Shapefiles, KML, and GeoJSON to display custom geography.[9] The built-in geocoding allows for administrative places (country, state/province, county/district), postal codes, US Congressional Districts, US CBSA/MSA, Area Codes, Airports, and European Union statistical areas (NUTS codes) to be mapped automatically. You can group geographies to create custom territories[10] or use custom geocoding to extend existing geographic roles in the product.[11] There are five ways to access their products: Desktop (both professional and personal editions), Server, Online (which scales to support thousands of users), Reader, and Public, with the last two free to use.[12] Vizable, a consumer data visualization mobile app, was released in 2015.[13] A sixth product known as Prep,[14] for data preparation workflows, was released in May 2018.
In June 2018, Tableau acquired Empirical Systems, a Cambridge-based artificial intelligence startup, with plans to integrate the company's technology into the Tableau platform.
Company history with DOE
It supports the following organizations:
- As of June 2018, every lab less Princeton and Jefferson have some footprint of Tableau
- The user light source facilities at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory - the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS), Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource (SSRL) and the Cryo-EM laboratory, service thousands of researchers annually. These research teams generate a significant amount of "customer"/user data and transactional data around their experimental activities.
