Tableau is a business intelligence tool that helps people see and understand data.

With interactive data visualizations that can handle large amounts of data and robust analytics, Tableau helps organizations be more data-driven in their decisions. UIS provides an enterprise server platform to CU customers for direct data sharing use. The Tableau server is available on the UIS website, Cherwell and all applicable systems with additional authentication through PingFederate.
