TABLEAU

Tableau was founded in 2003 as a result of a computer science project at Stanford that aimed to improve the flow of analysis and make data more accessible to people through visualization. Co-founders Chris Stolte, Pat Hanrahan, and Christian Chabot developed and patented Tableau's foundational technology, VizQL-which visually expresses data by translating drag-and-drop actions into data queries through an intuitive interface. Since our foundation, we've continuously invested in research and development at an unrivaled pace, developing solutions to help anyone working with data to get to answers faster and uncover unanticipated insights... Tableau is a visual analytics platform transforming the way we use data to solve problems - empowering people and organisations to make the most of their data.
