The primary focus will be on the difficulty of integrating extremely heterogeneous data from multiple sources and showing how we we’re able to visualise this data with tableau. Tableau was an ideal solution to bring this data to life. It helped our company tremendously to gain actionable insights on our campaigns. This talk should demonstrate to the attendees that it is possible to build highly customized dashboards with tableau. Additionally, it should show the attendees the possibility of sharing dashboards with clients through Tableau Server and what obstacles we encountered on our journey so far.

Tableau makes exploring your data easy, but what do you do when that data is locked away behind a web service? Is exporting all of your data the only hope? With Web Data Connectors in Tableau, you can now unlock these sources and bring your precious data into Tableau easily from both internal and external web services. Web Data Connectors let you connect to and refresh web data sources by writing some custom code. In this session we'll walk through how these connectors work, how they integrate with Tableau, and look at some real world examples. We'll even write a simple connector and take you through the steps to build, debug, and share the final connector.

Gone is the time when all decisions can be made from the "belly". "Show me the figures" should be the basis for all of our decisions at TGC, but where do the numbers come from, which numbers are important for whom, and who should you ask beforehand?
