Tableau 8.2 Brings Data to the Mac and Data Storytelling to Everyone

Tableau Desktop and Tableau Public now run natively on the Mac; new Story Points feature helps people create interactive, data-driven stories

SEATTLE, June 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Tableau Software (NYSE: DATA) today announced the general availability of Tableau 8.2, an update that brings Tableau to Mac users around the world and adds a feature to help people tell stories with their data. With Tableau 8.2, Mac users will have a fully-featured analytics application that lets them ask questions of their data. Story Points will allow everyone to create interactive, data-driven stories that they can share with their organizations, networks and the world.

"Mac users now have simpler and more seamless access to their data using this new version of Tableau Desktop. It's specifically designed from the ground up to take advantage of the user interface and rich Retina displays that the Mac OS offers," said Chris Stolte, Chief Development Officer and co-founder of Tableau Software. "Another key feature of this release is Story Points, which will help people add extra context, flow and guidance to tell a more structured story with their data."

People are drowning in data - on the web, in spreadsheets and in databases. In order to take advantage of all of that data, people need to find new ways to harness it and unearth the insights that inform decisions. Tableau Story Points provides a vehicle to tell visually compelling, interactive narratives that bring insights and actions to life.

Customers using the Tableau 8.2 beta since April have this to say:

    --  "Tableau's Mac beta has allowed our creative team to collaborate closely
        with our BI analysts and marketers to develop a rich collection of
        professional, polished reports that showcase Allrecipes unique insights
        to our sales team, partners and the food media," said Grace
        Preyapongpisan, Vice President of Business Intelligence at
        Allrecipes.com. "Now our talented design teams can create and share
        polished, professional and insightful reports, which is critical for our
        success as a business and as a brand."
    --  "Our goal with deploying Tableau is a cultural change around data, where
        people are able to easily get to the data quickly, ask advanced
        questions, explore, tell stories and derive insights," said Anja
        Canfield-Budde, Director, Enterprise Data and Analytics, with University
        of Washington Information Technology. "We have been testing Tableau 8.2
        to see how it will impact our existing dashboards. There are a couple of
        features we are particularly excited about, specifically Story Points
        and Tableau Desktop for Mac. As a large institution with diverse users
        of Tableau products, Tableau Desktop for the Mac and the ability to tell
        the stories behind the visualizations makes us super excited and
        productive."
    --  "Our clients pay us not only for our analysis, but for our guidance as
        to what it means and how to interpret it so they can better connect with
        their customers and grow their business," said Susan Baier, owner of
        Audience Audit. "Story Points allows me to walk my clients through a
        sequence of visualizations and accompanying highlights just as if I were
        in the room with them. It ensures that key insights aren't lost as the
        analysis is shared throughout their organizations. I am now
        incorporating Story Points into every project we conduct."
    --  "Story Points allows us to tell an entire visual story using just one
        screen," said Veronica Simoes, General Director at Tableau Brazil
        partner PATH. "We are also enjoying the improved maps and the new
        connection experience that makes creating joins between tables fast and
        much more intuitive."
New Tableau 8.2 features include:

    --  Tableau Desktop and Tableau Public on the Mac OS: The Mac version will
        have the same fast, visually compelling and powerful analytics
        capabilities available on Windows. It includes support for
        high-resolution Retina displays and both in-memory and live connectivity
        to data sources.
    --  Story Points: People will now have the power to tell interactive stories
        with their data. This feature allows people to combine worksheets and
        dashboards into stories that remain connected to the underlying data and
        change as the data changes - or as the views and dashboards change. The
        stories can then be published to Tableau Server, Tableau Online and
        Tableau Public so that anyone can view and engage with them directly in
        a browser or on a mobile device.
    --  Visual Data Window: Tableau 8.2 will include a redesigned data
        connection experience that will be simpler and more visual for users.
    --  Updated maps: Maps are updated and redesigned to be more beautiful and
        engaging than ever before.
    --  Tableau Server Improvements: Updates to the enterprise-class Tableau
        Server are designed to simplify administration and support for server
        deployments and make the end-user experience even more enjoyable.
