Tableau helps people see and understand their data. Gone are the days when insight from data was restricted to a few erudite analysts and IT.

The era of data discovery presents a new set of challenges for IT. There is still the necessity for metadata management, and securing sensitive information. Ability to scale becomes of greater importance than ever—because the value of your data increases and correlates with the number of people who are able to make use of it.

This paper will address all of the these issues and more, so you can ensure you have a solution that can respond to this new, rapidly advancing concept of data discovery and self-service analytics.
