Tableau beat out other finalists such as Microsoft, Adobe and Salesforce.com in its category to win the Stevie Award, hailed as "the business world's own Oscar" (New York Post, April 27, 2005). Overall, awards were presented in more than 40 categories to companies of all sizes in virtually every industry.

"People -- regardless of their technical skill levels -- use Tableau to gain valuable insights from their data and share those insights across their organizations. As the amounts of data available to organizations continues to increase exponentially, visual analytics and collaboration capabilities like Tableau's are even more crucial to business success," said Elissa Fink, vice president of marketing for Tableau Software. "This award -- our second recognition in the past month -- is evidence not only of the need for data visualization and collaboration tools but also of Tableau's ability to meet that need. We're grateful to be honored once again by our peers."

Members of the Awards' Board of Distinguished Judges & Advisors and their staffs selected Stevie winners from among the Finalists. Business professionals nationwide chose finalists during preliminary judging in April and May.
