LONDON, February 1, 2011 - ~ ex-salesforce.com exec, Pixar Studios architect and Stanford Protegee
join forces to bring data visualisation leader and business intelligence
disruptor to Europe ~
A team of industry pioneers, including a founding father of Pixar
animation studios, a Stanford protegee and the executive who launched
salesforce.com in Europe are on a mission to bring visual literacy and
rapid-fire business intelligence to EMEA. After establishing one of the
fastest growing data visualisation and business intelligence software
companies in the US, the Tableau Software executive team today announced it
is launching a UK division, with further plans to expand into France and
Germany by the end of the year.

Tableau Software, another in the prestigious line-up of Stanford
spin-offs, including Google, Yahoo and VMWare, is rebooting the business
intelligence sector. It has already helped more than 6,500 customers
worldwide - from law enforcement to the gaming industry to FMCG - rethink the
way they see, use, and interact with, the data that defines their business.
The new European arm, based in Richmond, Surrey, is headed up by Bruno
Saint-Cast, the executive renowned for launching salesforce.com in Europe.
Saint-Cast's ambitions for Tableau Software in Europe include quadrupling
EMEA revenues between 2010 and 2012.
"My intention is to do for Tableau Software and business analytics, what
we did for salesforce.com and the cloud," commented Bruno Saint-Cast, VP for
Europe at Tableau Software. "2011 is all about data and making it as fast and
easy as possible to understand and use. This is one of the greatest market
opportunities of this decade and Tableau Software is the game changer that
will redefine the industry."
Tableau Software offers lightning-fast business analytics and
visualisation products (www.tableausoftware.com/products) that are
simple, effective and affordable. Its software designers take a completely
fresh approach to developing their tools, by first understanding how people
think, explore and problem solve and then designing the tools from these
cognitive and psychological starting points.
As part of this approach, Tableau Software is focussed on keeping its
products as intuitive as possible. This includes making the software so easy
that it virtually fades into the background, ensuring the focus in on the
data instead of the software itself. In addition, the deployment is quick and
painless, so organisations can be ready to go in minutes instead of the usual
weeks or months most business intelligence applications require.
Saint-Cast commented: "Businesses are faced with an onslaught of
information and are hungry for ways to better understand, and communicate
about, their business. The difficulty lies in extracting and presenting those
valuable nuggets of information so that they are clear and useable. Tableau
Software finally makes it possible for anyone to create powerful and
transformational images that can bring to life, with just one glance, the
health of their business or industry trend."
In addition to its paid enterprise solutions, Tableau Software has a free
web product (tableaupublic.com/) called Tableau Public, commonly used
by bloggers, journalists, and leading media websites to share data online as
interactive visualisations.
Tableau Software's headquarters are in Richmond, Surrey. For more details
