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.
