Turning Tableau Users into Data Scientists

11.8.16

With the democratization of data, self-service analytics is exploding. However, business users need to trust the underlying data to embrace analytics. Siloed data is the biggest impediment to true insights. Informatica®, the world’s No. 1 provider of data management solutions, today announced that the Informatica Enterprise Information Catalog now transforms every Tableau user’s analytics journey with a single powerful metadata-driven offering to support all types of data sources – whether in the cloud or on-premise.

As enterprise data grows in volume and variety, organizations need to bridge data silos that inhibit analytics users and prevent a holistic understanding of information assets and interrelationships. Through its powerful new self-service data management tool Informatica Enterprise Information Catalog, Informatica provides organizations with unprecedented enterprise-wide visibility, accessibility and control over all their data and metadata, whether in the cloud or on-premise.

For Tableau users, this means the ability to explore and discover relevant data and metadata across the enterprise, eliminating hidden data silos. Enterprise Information Catalog, powered by modern self-service capabilities, helps business and IT collaborate on accelerating business value and enables trusted and scalable analytics powered by governed and compliant data across cloud and on-premise data sources and applications.

• Efficient, intelligent Google-like search machine-learning-based discovery of data
• Profiling statistics
• 360-degree view of data
• End-to-end data lineage
• Integrated business glossary
• Crowdsourced data enrichment
• Recommendations based on machine learning

These new self-service cataloging and discovery capabilities complement and extend the existing data access, data integration, data quality capabilities to rapidly and intuitively prepare and share data among Tableau users.

Bridging the Business and IT Divide for More Successful Analytics Projects

Making the Most of Both Cloud and On-Premise Assets
As organizations look to hybrid cloud services as a way to nimbly adapt to changes in their business, there is still the need to continue with on-premises applications and systems along with cloud-based applications. Innovative flexible solutions such as Informatica Enterprise Information Catalog help ensure the effectiveness of hybrid IT environments by helping organizations achieve the cloud benefits of speed, agility and scale while continuing to derive maximum value from their traditional information frameworks.
