Tableau Analytics Platform

Tableau is a comprehensive analytics platform that enables users to harmonize, manage, and explore data through interactive visualizations. Founded in 2003 in Mountain View, California, by Christian Chabot, Chris Stolte, and Pat Hanrahan, the company specializes in business intelligence and data visualization software. In 2019, Tableau was acquired by Salesforce for $15.7 billion, marking one of Salesforce's largest acquisitions at that time. This acquisition allowed Salesforce to integrate Tableau's advanced analytics capabilities into its suite of enterprise applications, enhancing its offerings in customer relationship management and data analytics. Tableau's product suite includes Tableau Desktop, Tableau Server, Tableau Cloud, Tableau Prep Builder, and Tableau Mobile, catering to a wide range of data analysis and visualization needs. The company is headquartered in Seattle, Washington, and operates globally, with its products being developed and supported in multiple countries.
