Enterprise-class write-back and dashboard collaboration

At the core of every data-driven organization is the ability to make data easy to access, share, discuss and act on. This data democratization improves the decision-making ability across every function of the organization. No longer is the data needed to make informed decisions buried in email chains or multiple versions of Excel workbooks or long slide decks. It is readily accessible — in a single version — and visualized to make insights easy to grasp. Elements for Tableau enables Tableau users to comment on the data directly from the dashboards. This further accelerates communication around the data and leads to faster and more informed decisions.
