“People are looking for analytics technology that is fast, easy, and for everyone. They want to put the power of data into the hands of people at all levels of their companies. We saw the strongest demand we’ve ever seen in our history, making 2014 a tipping point year for Tableau,” said Christian Chabot, CEO and Co-founder of Tableau.
