Hi all, Save the date! The Tableau distributor (MIP) will be coming to Peter Mac 3pm on 21st of September to present on their data discovery tool. Put it in your calendar now to avoid disappointment on the day. I will be working with them to try to tailor the demo a bit - any suggestions on what you'd like to see about the tool most welcome. Their web site is http://www.tableausoftware.com/ Kind regards, William Rose Business Intelligence Manager Information Management +61 3 9656 5231 | Level 8, St Andrews Place, East Melbourne VIC 3002 ________________________________ From: chai-t-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:chai-t-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Rose William Sent: Tuesday, 21 August 2012 8:10 AM To: chai-t@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [chai-t] September & October plans Hi all, Thanks to all who made it down last Friday: it is the hardest time of year in terms of BI workload, so it was great to see you there. For September, the suggestion is to try to arrange a demo of Tableau, another QlikView-esque data discovery tool. As quite a few of us are considering or have started down a path towards adding QlikView into the mix, there is some interest in checking out the competition. Rose & Simon from Peter Mac have had a demo which was the typical car sales data. I can try to organise a demo similar to Nadav's SQL 2012 demo with some health data sets: I'm also interested in trying to get them to demo what it is like to get data into the tool, as this seems to be the most frequently glossed over part of these tools. If you have some specific ideas for dashboards or reports you'd like to see the Tableau version of, please let me know! The date for this is tentatively Friday 21st of September, at this stage at Peter Mac, unless the Tableau reps have their own meeting rooms. For October, I have badgered Peter Carty sufficiently that he has agreed to have us over to the Austin so we can check out some of their cool toys! I'll leave it up to Peter to advise further.
