Five Ways Data Cloud and Tableau Work Together

Connect

Harmonise

Data Cloud for Tableau harmonises all the data into a knowledge graph to give you a 360 view of the customers. After the data is ingested, AI modelling is used on the graph to map relationships between the data points. This process enriches the results significantly.

Unify

Identity resolution and deduplication capabilities within the knowledge graph to ensure that customer data remains up to date. It evolves as the data does and unifies all customer profiles with ease.

Analyse & Predict

In just a few simple clicks, an insight-filled Tableau dashboard can arise from the data set. Embrace the art of data storytelling with the flexible, market-leading dashboard. The intuitive user experience makes powerful analytics accessible for users of all skill levels, from basic to advanced. 

Act

Uncover ground-breaking insights using intelligent predictions, recommendations and flows to make informed business-critical decisions. Improve personalisation, workflows, engagement and productivity across all departments and drive better results.
