Tableau

Tableau is a modern, cloud-based analytics and reporting tool which helps to empower business users to create reports and analyse data themselves. Across UCD, it gives managers and teams increased access to ad hoc reporting and analytics to support their decision-making. Tableau is provided to UCD staff by the Enterprise Applications Group (EAG) in UCD IT Services with support from a Tableau Software partner.
