This is the impact of Tableau Analytics. These success stories of Tableau show the potential it holds to optimize performance through the effective use of data. Tableau is the fastest-growing data visualization tool that allows anyone to understand data with powerful and easy-to-use features.

Tableau was acquired by Salesforce in 2019. Tableau is a widely-adopted and enterprise-wide business intelligence solution known for its interactive data visualization capabilities. Tableau offers a number of products in the data science space such as relational databases, cloud databases, online analytical processing cubes, spreadsheets, and business intelligence services at a large scale.

After one year since its acquisition by Salesforce, Tableau has recently announced that Salesforce’s Einstein Analytics will be renamed to Tableau CRM.

By bringing together Tableau and Einstein Analytics, Tableau is planning to help everyone leverage data to make better decisions.

Salesforce’s Einstein Analytics Will Be Rebranded As Tableau CRM: What Does That Mean For Businesses?

Tableau Software, the world’s leading analytics platform has declared to bring together Tableau and Einstein Analytics, a cloud-based analytics tool by Salesforce.

“By bringing together the Tableau and Einstein Analytics teams earlier this year, and tapping into the power of the overall Salesforce ecosystem, we are putting rocket boosters on our innovation and accelerating our mission to help people see and understand data.”
– Adam Selipsky, President and CEO of Tableau

For those who are unfamiliar with Einstein Analytics, let’s have a closer look before we discuss this news in detail.

What Is Einstein Analytics?

Einstein Analytics, powered by Salesforce is a cloud-based platform for data analytics and data visualization that helps businesses to see beyond data, supporting the better and quick decision-making process.

By using concepts like Augmented Analytics and advanced machine learning techniques, Einstein Analytics offers quite impressive and powerful actionable insights and predictive analytics capabilities. It provides a 360-degree view of not only Salesforce data but of external data sources as well.

Salesforce’s Einstein Analytics Is Now Tableau CRM

This integration will gradually reflect in the product. Tableau integrated the first such integration, Einstein Discovery in Tableau.

Einstein Discovery is AI-powered analytics that helps businesses to leverage machine-augmented analytics capabilities. This includes automatic discovery of relevant patterns, actionable and AI-powered insights, suitable explanation, and powerful analytics.

This Einstein Discovery dashboard is equipped with AI technology to generate key insight and predictive models that help businesses to look into the future and recommend the next course of action – all this without extra knowledge and effort.

Einstein Discovery Is Integrated With:

• Dashboard: It improves overall outcome including suggestion, explanation, and powerful prediction in Tableau Dashboard
• Prep Builder: Tableau Prep Builder also supports Einstein Discovery to make data prep easy, fast, and with integrated predictive experience
• Calc: Einstein Discovery integrated with Tableau’s calculation engine to get real-time predictions

There are more such integrations will happen in the future including data access capabilities, interoperability, and AI-driven analytics. Einstein Discovery, all set to launch in early 2021, is one such planned integration.

Further integration plans include:

• Connecting Tableau natively to Einstein Analytics data store to take advantages of performance optimization and security
• Data preparation feature that read and write to both Tableau and Einstein Analytics, making data ready for analysis to everyone
• Streamlined dashboard creation through content portability between Tableau and Einstein Analytics

“We’re always focused on making analytics easy and accessible to more people and organizations. Integrating Einstein Discovery’s powerful predictions platform adds to the range of options for augmented analysis and helps people get more value from their data.”
– Francois Ajenstat, Chief Product Officer at Tableau

Einstein Analytics was closely integrated with Salesforce. This integration helped companies to extract insights from data anytime, anywhere. Now, with the plan to integrate Einstein Analytics with Tableau, organizations can leverage the best of both tools to access, explore, and understand data without having to learn any particular skill.
