Tableau Expands Data Prep Capabilities with Tableau Prep Conductor
SEATTLE, Feb. 13, 2019 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

               Latest data preparation product is part of the 
                     new Tableau Data Management Add-On


Tableau Software (NYSE: DATA), the leading analytics platform, today announced 
the general availability of Tableau Prep Conductor, a new product that enables 
organizations to schedule and manage self-service data preparation at scale. 
Tableau Prep Conductor is part of a new subscription offering called the 
Tableau Data Management Add-On. This expansion of the Tableau platform helps 
customers ensure that governed and timely data is easily available and ready 
for analysis. Tableau will continue to add more features to the add-on, 
including cataloging capabilities later this year. Customers can add Prep 
Conductor to their existing Tableau environment by upgrading to Tableau Server 
2019.1 and subscribing to the Data Management Add-On. For more information,

Prep Conductor enables data preparation at scale by centralizing the 
administration, scheduling, and monitoring of data prep flows within an 
integrated platform. Flows created in Tableau Prep Builder (an updated name for 
Tableau Prep) are published to Prep Conductor to run in a reliable and scalable 
environment. Prep Builder is already in use by more than 11,000 customer 
accounts, and Prep Conductor will help organizations use it more broadly by 
ensuring trusted, governed data is always available for analysis. 

"Tableau Prep completely streamlined how we clean and prepare marketing data, 
which is often extraordinarily dirty. It has allowed us to transform and blend 
data in ways that enable new and different types of analysis," said Andrew 
Richardson, VP of Analytics and Marketing Science at Elite SEM. "We are 
thrilled to try Tableau Prep Conductor and expect it will help us automate and 
scale data prep across the company. It will speed up our ability to report on 
campaigns for our clients, which will increase the value we're providing and 
ultimately help our bottom line."

Because Prep Conductor is natively integrated into Tableau Server, it means 
there is nothing new to deploy or manage. Central teams like IT can manage 
flows across the entire organization, leveraging the same authentication, 
permissions, and management tools they already use in Tableau. It allows 
customers to build permissions specifically around data flows and data sources 
in order to maintain control and meet data compliance needs and policies. Prep 
Conductor also provides increased visibility into the health of data sources 
through updated status reports and proactive alerts.

"Customers are being deluged with more data than ever before and are struggling 
to understand, manage, and curate all of that information to enable great 
decision-making," said Francois Ajenstat, Chief Product Officer at Tableau. 
"With the Tableau Data Management Add-On, we are making it easier for 
organizations to deliver trusted and governed data at scale, so their entire 
organization can get to analysis faster and with more confidence."

Later in 2019, the Tableau Data Management Add-On will also include new 
cataloging capabilities that will help organizations gain visibility into their 
data and enhance data discoverability for end users. With cataloging, customers 
will be able to search for many types of data from a single location. Enriched 
metadata will also provide additional context and detail to help people feel 
confident that they are understanding and selecting the correct data. These 
cataloging capabilities will also give better visibility and control to 
maintain their environment, save time, and avoid costly breakages on production 
workbooks. 

The Tableau Data Management Add-On is available today for Tableau Server for 
$5.50 per user per month. It is also now available in limited release for 
Tableau Online. Learn more about Tableau 2019.1 and the Tableau Data Management 
Add-On at www.tableau.com.
