Today’s data-driven organizations seek an approach to modern, self-service analytics that balances the needs of IT and the business—ensuring both governance and business agility. To achieve this, people across teams must work together, communicating their insights and leveraging each other’s work. And you, IT, are the central actor that makes all of this possible.

Enabling self-service analytics to transform enterprise BI

People in your organization are already using Excel and other tools to answer their questions. But moving data into ungoverned environments for downstream analysis and collaboration via files and email poses risks for data security, content governance, and trust. So how do you take charge and enable self-service analytics while also making sure the data is governed, trusted, and secure?

Moving from top-down, IT-led business intelligence toward a modern self-service model may seem like a night-and-day change. However, it’s important to acknowledge that deploying modern analytics is never all or nothing, nor should governed self-service analytics at scale be considered a destination so much as an ongoing, iterative journey.

Governance at scale with a modern analytics platform

This paper will provide an overview of important considerations to ensure governance at scale as you deploy a modern, self-service analytics platform across your business. We aim to help IT understand the important roles, responsibilities, and repeatable processes needed to collaborate with the business, including delegating administrative tasks, in order to scale your analytics solution and make data-driven decision-making the norm throughout your organization.

Learn more about these key steps to deploy and scale governed, self-service analytics across your organization with Tableau:

1. Set up your environment rapidly to create immediate value.
2. Centralize and standardize your data models.
3. Empower your people to be self-reliant and build trust.
4. Monitor and audit usage, optimizing performance.

To create a data-driven culture for today’s digital era, organizations must invest in new ways of delivering information, including the people required to lead the charge. This parallel cultural shift is a fundamental change in the relationship between IT and the business; they are two partners working to collect and mine data, but also to refine it and deliver the right information on demand.

It’s when IT and business work together that organizations can turn the pipe dream of a self-service analytics culture into a reality.

This whitepaper will explore the building blocks that comprise a modern analytics platform the business and IT can use—together—to deliver data, value, and decisions for the whole company. This includes the new, shiny tools of today as well as the traditional tools that have been the foundation for business intelligence for decades.

We will show how each building block fits into the larger process of turning data into insight, whether it’s the tools you need to capture and report on data, or new technologies to share interactive insights. We’ll also discuss how Tableau can be both a foundation for a modern analytics platform and a catalyst for creating a new data-driven analytics culture.

We’ll dive into:

• The three data challenges facing organizations today
• The building blocks of a modern analytics platform
• Tying it all together
