Business Intelligence

Overview

Harding uses Tableau to transform business data into visual representations.  Tableau is a system of data analysis and visualization that brings multiple data sources together (Banner, Google Sheets, Excel spreadsheets, online data, etc.) to aid in understanding your area of work, make informed decisions about operations and strategy and effectively present these decisions to others.

Note that routine tasks (regular lists, emails, etc.) are better suited to Argos (see additional resources below).  Tableau is more effective at determining better methods of operation and strategy.

Eligibility

Cabinet members and deans may directly access the Tableau Server (see Additional Resources below).  Faculty and staff may access presentation pdfs or images and spreadsheet output.
