big data innovators – of grunge t’s and software

this Sunday i saw my friend wearing one of the coolest T's I have seen in a while. It had the tagline – DO IT IN PUBLIC!

Now you do not know my friend, but I do, and was quite surprised with his choice of garment. Till I looked at the back of the shirt and realized it was one from tableau software.

Now if you read my blog, you know I am a big fan of this company…simply because no other BI tool can do what they can on BIG DATA. And now having seen the company up close, met their people, seen the users and checked out their limitless production of the coolest company T's ever, I know these guys have fun with what they do. And it makes me an even bigger fan!

And as I promised Noele@ Tableau, here's my line for a shirt –

SIZE DOES (not) MATTER.

Yes, you can use it…I just get the first one that comes off the line!

big data innovators - tell me a story

Any company that can claim to have been started by an Oscar winner (correction…two time Oscar winner) is bound to have a good ‘story’.

Pat Hanrahan and Tableau qualify for that elite list.

Let me start by saying this, THERE IS NO OTHER BIG DATA VISUALIZATION TOOL IN THE MARKET THAT CAN DO WHAT TABLEAU DOES. NONE.

PS – if you know of one, let me know, I offer to test it for you.

The conditions –
A. you will have 5 minutes to install,
B. 15 minutes to recognize the data,
C. 2 hours to play with it with my team and
D. Then have to come back and let my team present live the results…on your tool.

Yes Tableau did that!

If you do not believe me, try it for yourself, Nothing else comes close.

And if you are on anything else, my best wishes!
