Tableau is a data visualization and analysis tool used in the business
intelligence community, which distills raw data in to a format that can be shared on many different platforms and media. Tableau's drag-and-drop interface allows users to sort, compare, and analyze data from a variety of sources, including open data and privately-owned data sources.
There are several options for accessing Tableau both remotely and on-campus. If you are a student, you can request an Academic License. If you are faculty, you may request a Tableau Teaching License of the program. Both licenses allow members of an academic community to download Tableau Desktop to their personal computers for use on academic and research projects. Note: all software downloads for XULA computers must be completed through ITC
