Tableau

tableau is a self-service business intelligence software that specializes in the visualization of complex and large structured data sets. The company tableau Software was founded in 2003 in the United States of America.

The software has its origins in the visualization of scientific data for research and study purposes, but quickly found followers in the business world. The addition of an online/server version made the company even more attractive for data analysis in large companies. In 2019, the company was acquired by CRM software developer Salesforce. Since then, the tableau brand has continued to exist, while Tableau Software is increasingly being integrated into existing Salesforce applications.
