"Tableau's been at the forefront of our journey to better understand and serve 
our customers through data," said Megan Oertel, Director of Product Analytics, 
Sysco LABS. "Tableau is used across our entire organization to help us report 
from all the different data sources we have in a governed and trusted way."

According to McKinsey( 
https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=3276139-1&h=3597139583&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mckinsey.com%2Fbusiness-functions%2Fmckinsey-analytics%2Four-insights%2Fcatch-them-if-you-can-how-leaders-in-data-and-analytics-have-pulled-ahead&a=McKinsey 
), 92 percent of companies are failing to scale analytics. And new data from 
Mulesoft and Coleman Parkes Research( 
https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=3276139-1&h=1809093566&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mulesoft.com%2Flp%2Freports%2Fit-business-alignment-barometer&a=Mulesoft+and+Coleman+Parkes+Research 
) found that 87 percent of IT and business leaders are concerned that security 
and governance are slowing the pace of innovation.

"IT leaders are facing unprecedented challenges today and the COVID-19 pandemic 
has underscored the need to increase data self-sufficiency and empower everyone 
to do more with data," said Doug Henschen, Vice President and Principal 
Analyst, Constellation Research. "It's no longer a luxury for businesses to 
have a data analytics platform, it's a necessity that could make the difference 
between surviving and thriving."

Key new capabilities and improvements are focused on:

 -- Managing the data chaos and enabling data governance at scale. New 
   - capabilities are making data challenges easier to manage, easier to scale,
     and easier to trust
   - Data Prep: Tableau Prep now makes it easier for customers to reduce
     loads/costs of server resources automatically and generate rows to more
     easily map out trends in data
   - Governance: New features help ensure/maintain data quality by alerting you
     of any potential issues and provide easier visibility into the type of
    data you have and where it came from
   - Centralized row level security: New features allow for increased
     flexibility and segmentation by allowing Tableau administrators to
     centrally configure which users and groups have access to which slices of
     data configure access.
 -- Ensuring analytics scales with enterprise demand
   - Enterprise reference architecture: Enterprise Deployment Guidelines (EDG)
     provides the Tableau reference architecture for our enterprise customers
     with a prescriptive methodology to achieve requirements around
     availability, scalability and security. EDG is technology agnostic,
     platform independent and aligned with enterprise data center best
     practices.
   - Dynamic Scaling: New feature helps enterprises appropriately resource
     their deployment and ensures enough containers are available during peak
     demand times and scale down during low demand times.
   - Resource Management: IT teams can better optimize the performance of
     Tableau Server by defining application resource limits.

New enterprise subscription plans make it even easier to procure and deploy 
Tableau across an entire organization. By bundling analytics with Data 
Management and Server Management, enterprise customers can more easily procure 
and deploy Tableau's full capabilities to benefit everyone.

"Tableau has long been a favorite to help individuals see and understand data," 
said Francois Ajenstat, Chief Product Officer, Tableau. "We're making it easier 
for IT leaders to make it a favorite across the entire enterprise and deliver 
an end-to-end solution to leverage the full power of data analytics."

The data prep and catalog improvements along with the new subscription plans 
will be available later this month with the release of Tableau 2021.3. The 
additional features will be available in the coming months. To learn more,
