Cisco Deploys Tableau Across Multiple Business Divisions In EMEA

(RTTNews) - Tableau Software (DATA) Wednesday said Cisco has deployed Tableau across multiple business divisions in EMEA, in order to drive efficiency and better inform every part of the business, from senior business planning to in-field sales.

According to Tableu, Cisco's business intelligence team recognised that the company needed to better connect the dots and provide useful insight into business data that everyone could use.

In order to more easily understand their data, a group of five people from within the business chose Tableau to gain deeper insights.

Recognising the potential for this data visualisation tool, and with the vision of making data available and understandable to everyone, the EMEA Business Insights team secured senior buy-in to expand the solution and began to implement it more widely.

Proving to be very popular, within six months the number of active community members has grown from 5 to more than 40, supporting an audience of over 1500 active data consumers.

Specific areas that were in need of greater insight into business data were the sales and channel organizations. Having established Tableau as a vital source of easily-understood business insight, the Business Insights team launched a mobile BI platform, accessed via mobile devices.

After equipping the majority of the in-field sales team with tablets, these representatives are now able to access sales data - and more - straight away, all through a user-friendly interface, enabling quicker sales.
