"We selected Tableau's business intelligence software because nothing else could meet our requirements for a highly-scalable, web-based analytical solution for a budget-friendly investment," said Ian Campbell, Senior Manager - Growth, Ray White. "We were able to test and deploy it very rapidly in a configuration that met our needs. Tableau gave us what we needed: an easy-to-learn, data visualization application that could deliver key metrics and KPI's to virtually all our offices without requiring high levels of IT support."

Tableau Server is a key element of Ray White's plans to distribute KPI's across the organization. Offices and employees will be able to visualize a collection of functional and cross-functional indicators to quickly and easily analyze trend and point-in-time questions.

"In this economic climate, few companies can afford bloated BI systems with their high license fees, long roll-outs, expensive maintenance needs and low user adoption rates," said Christian Chabot, CEO and co-founder, Tableau Software. "Ray White was looking for a new kind of BI--software that is fast and easy to deploy, simple to learn and intuitive to use. Tableau offers all of that for a fraction of the cost and install time of legacy platforms."

Ray White is deploying both Tableau Desktop and Tableau Server. Award-winning Tableau Desktop data visualization software connects directly to a wide assortment of data sources allowing people to understand complex relationships through engaging and easy-to-understand visualizations. Award-winning Tableau Server extends the functionality of Desktop to the Web, enabling entire organizations to share, discover and participate with their data via a Web browser.
