Now, Tableau is driving a positive change in the way we work with data, making it much more accessible to all. We are now at the dawn of a new age where everyone can tap on data to see trends, make projections and come to informed decisions, and I’m incredibly excited to be able to be part of this.”
Currently, people from all walks of life, from students to data scientists, use Tableau to see and understand their data. SEA plays a significant role in the growth of Tableau in Asia Pacific.
