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.
