Consumer Orbit Chairman, Bill Engle says that speed matters when it comes to understanding all that data, because “today’s CMO does not have six months to wait to make a decision.” (Ref: https://www.tableau.com/blog/alteryx-tableau-magical-self-service-analytics-54894)
In this data dependent world, where businesses are constantly on the lookout for new innovative ways to leverage the power of data, the combination of Alteryx and Tableau offers a powerful solution for organisations to enable self-service analytics. This allows teams to derive insights efficiently and helps make data driven decisions in shorter time. Both the tools combined form a flexible analytics ecosystem and transforms data into actionable insights in a shorter time with ease.
Mr. Bill, Chairman, Consumer Orbit also mentioned that they use Alteryx to make sense of massive amounts of data and they use Tableau to present that. So, it’s become an incredible tool. It’s revolutionizing the way things are being done. (Ref: https://www.tableau.com/solutions/alteryx)
Here’s how the combination of both these tools empower organizations:
- Streamlining Data Preparation with Alteryx
Alteryx helps to integrate data from many different data sources into one large database and is known for its capabilities in data preparation, blending, and automation. Typically, this process is one of the most time consuming processes for analysts. Once data is cleansed and transformed, structuring it for a meaningful analysis is a burden. And Alteryx alleviates this burden by allowing users to pull data from multiple sources like databases, spreadsheets, cloud applications, or APIs and integrates it into one dataset through a simple drag-and-drop interface.
As no coding is required to do this, even non-technical users can automate these repetitive workflows. This helps in saving significant time and reducing human errors. Alteryx also allows users to build repeatable workflows and this can be scheduled to run automatically. It is the next step to streamlining data prep tasks.
By doing these tedious and crucial tasks of data preparation, it ensures that users across the organization can access clean, well-prepared data ready for visualization and analysis in Tableau.
- Enhanced Data Visualization with Tableau
Tableau takes over the process once the data is prepped and ready for creating dynamic, interactive visualizations. It is known for its intuitive interface and Tableau empowers users to generate insightful dashboards that can be shared across teams without a problem.
Whatever the task is, like analysing key performance indicators, understanding customer behaviour or forecasting sales trends, Tableau transforms the raw data into interesting visual narratives. Users can use the drag and drop data fields to build charts, graphs, and maps, helping them make sense of their data easily.
The self-service aspect of Tableau means users can interact with the data in real time. This gives an option to explore from various dimensions and measures without the need of an IT or data team. This accessibility builds a data driven culture where everyone in the organization – from the basic executive level to sales team – can use the data to make informed decisions.
- A Seamless Integration for End-to-End Analytics
The actual power of the combination of Alteryx and Tableau depends on how seamlessly they integrate to provide end-to-end analytics. This integration allows users to send the clean and rich data directly to Tableau for visualisation with just a few clicks. This smooth workflow minimizes the time to move from data preparation to insight generation, allowing businesses to act on their data faster.
Also, Alteryx’s capabilities such as predictive modelling, geospatial analysis, and machine learning make the data analysis process faster and with precision. These insights can be visualized in Tableau and this allows businesses to explore deeper patterns and trends in the data, which can be easily missed in the basic analysis.
- Driving Data Democratization
By simplifying both the data preparation and visualization, these tools lower the difficulties for data analysis. This is also a very important aspect of data democratization within organizations as it empowers business users with no technical expertise to leverage the power of the data.
Organisations can distribute the analytics capabilities across various departments instead of just depending on a small team of data scientists or analysts. This helps them to solve their own data related problems. This shift towards self-service analytics helps in faster decision-making as employees no longer have to wait in long queues for data reports from core analysts’ teams.
- Empowering Innovation Through Automation and Collaboration
One more major advantage of the Alteryx-Tableau partnership is its capacity to speed up innovation. By automating repetitive tasks in Alteryx, users can utilize their free time on strategic analysis and problem solving. Tableau’s advanced features allows for sharing insights across teams and departments, providing everyone with the same data and visualizations. This brings alignment and helps in informed decision-making.
The integration of Alteryx with Tableau would provide a comprehensive solution in scaling the capacities of analytics. In fact, the integration of data preparation and automation features by Alteryx with visualization and reporting capabilities of Tableau unlocks the full potential of data for businesses. This enables self-service analytics where at all levels of an organization, employees can engage with data and discover insights for smarter, data-informed decisions.
We at CRG Solutions believe that these technologies have the potential to increase the reach of data and make it more accessible to more people. We leverage curated Analytics Technology such as Tableau & Alteryx to help organizations traverse their Data to Insights journey and beyond.
