Oct 16 2013 Tim Costello : Tableau: Self Service BI made easy 

Thursday, October 10, 2013 8:54:00 AM Categories: Meeting

Wednesday, Oct 16th, 2013

6:30 PM Meet & Greet | 7 PM Presentation

 

We have Tim Costello back! Show solidarity and sport every scrap of yellow you can find and come see how to transform your data into meaningful information.

Topic
Rapid-fire visual analysis. Ad-hoc query capability. Easy interactive dashboard building. No, this isn't going to be a session of buzzword bingo. This time we will actually deliver on the promise of self service BI. Using SQL in conjunction with a visual analysis tool like Tableau, you can help users find the questions they didn't know they wanted to answer. This session will be demo heavy and will highlight best practices in data visualization and dashboard design.

Bio

Tim is a business intelligence developer with InterWorks inc. in Dallas, Texas. Tim is passionate about data visualization and helping people realize new insights from their data through data visualization.
