And our augmented analytics innovations help anyone—from data scientists to business users—uncover insights faster, with accessible machine learning, statistics, natural language, and smart data prep.

People Learn Faster

Tableau is built on the work of scientific research to make analysis faster, easier, and more intuitive.

Analyzing data in a quick, iterative way that provides immediate feedback makes our products engaging, fun, and easy to learn.

Tableau was founded in 2003 as a result of a computer science project at Stanford that aimed to improve the flow of analysis and make data more accessible to people through visualization. Co-founders Chris Stolte, Pat Hanrahan, and Christian Chabot developed and patented Tableau's foundational technology, VizQL—which visually expresses data by translating drag-and-drop actions into data queries through an intuitive interface. Since our foundation, we’ve continuously invested in research and development at an unrivaled pace, developing solutions to help anyone working with data to get to answers faster and uncover unanticipated insights.

This includes making machine learning, statistics, natural language, and smart data prep more useful to augment human creativity in analysis. And we not only offer a complete, integrated analytics platform, but also proven enablement resources to help customers deploy and scale a data-driven culture that drives resilience and value through powerful outcomes. Tableau was acquired by Salesforce in 2019, and our mission remains the same: to help people see and understand their data. Today, organizations everywhere—from non-profits to global enterprises, and across all industries and departments—are empowering their people with Tableau to drive change with data.

Tableau Helps People Drive Change With Data

Data has limitless potential to transform businesses and the world—as long as people are empowered to use it. Our community is using Tableau to build a data culture and to change lives.

The Tableau Community

More than one million active, diverse, and engaged members inspire and support one another through community forums, 500+ worldwide user groups, and unique events like the annual Tableau Conference.

Our customers are leaders in their industries, and use Tableau to change the way their people interact with data. Tableau helps turn insight into action, cut down analysis time, and change behaviors that help everyone be more data-driven across the business. Pfizer deployed Tableau to 25,000 users so teams could collaborate with data using self-service analytics. Nissan democratized data analysis across its headquarters, retail locations, and supply chain teams, using Tableau to drive millions of dollars in savings.
