MURNInets WAY FORWARD: POWER TOOLS FOR TABLEAU

TABLEAU helps people see and understand their data. In 2020 the world will generate 50 times the amount of data as in 2011. And 75 times the number of information sources (IDC, 2011). Within these data are huge opportunities for human advancement. But to turn opportunities into reality, people need the power of data at their fingertips. Tableau is building software to deliver exactly that. Their products are transforming the way people use data to solve problems. They make analysing data fast and easy, beautiful and useful. It’s software for anyone and everyone. They believe data analysis should be about asking questions, not about learning software. They make inspiring, easy-to-use products that help people achieve greatness with data. So that data can reach its full potential and positively impact the world.

Data yearns to be free, to tell its stories to all those who care about its revelations. Discovering and sharing those stories should be easy. But it’s not. Why? Most software intended to help people access and understand data is hard to use. For too long, data has been trapped behind scripts, wizards and code. Today, all that changes. Today, people can choose another way. Join them in the cause to liberate data for everyone. Using data to make a difference in the world. Every day there are millions of opportunities to improve people’s lives by making better use of data. Disease research, education patterns, industrial efficiency, patient care, government spending – the opportunities are endless.
