Tableau will deliver Einstein Discovery in its 2021.1 update later this month,
the first major release enabling Business Science. Integrating Einstein
Discovery's trusted, real-time predictions and recommendations into Tableau
will help people go beyond understanding what happened and why it happened, to
explore likely business outcomes and inform proactive action. For more than
five years, Einstein Discovery has helped Salesforce customers surface insights
and understand patterns across millions of rows of data in minutes, without
requiring sophisticated data models.
"Today, data science is out of reach for most business users. Business analysts
have relied on data scientists to extract powerful, precise insights using
sophisticated models. But getting to those insights can be complex, expensive
and time consuming," said Chandana Gopal, research director, future of
intelligence, IDC. "While data science can unlock powerful insights, there is
sometimes a trade-off between precision and time-to-insight. Business Science
recognizes that trade-off and seeks to make data science accessible and
actionable for more people."
Business Science will elevate the work of both data scientists and advanced
analysts.
"Data science has always been able to solve big problems but too often that
power is limited to a few select people within an organization," said Francois
Ajenstat, chief product officer, Tableau. "To build truly data-driven
organizations, we need to unlock the power of data for as many people as
possible. Democratizing data science will help more people make smarter
decisions faster."
Customers can use Business Science to improve supply chain efficiency, predict
likelihood of purchase or maximize delivery of goods or services, for example.
Data science could help with vaccine research and development, while Business
Science could help with distribution and get shots in people's arms.
"Machine Learning platforms like Einstein Discovery are the next frontier in
democratizing data science," said Siddharth Dayama, senior manager of data
analytics, Verizon. "Einstein Discovery integrated into Tableau brings
predictive capabilities to the existing inventory of dashboards companies
already have, and when that's combined with auto-generated machine learning
models, businesses can explore patterns, trends and correlations in their
historical data without writing a single line of code. Layering ML/AI
capabilities on existing BI infrastructure opens up a world of possibilities in
day-to-day business problem solving."
Additional capabilities available in 2021.1 include:
- New Microsoft Azure Connectivity Improvements allow people to connect to
their data in Azure SQL Database (with Azure Active Directory) and Azure
Data Lake Gen 2. Tableau also now supports Azure Active Directory in two
existing connectors, Azure Synapse and Azure Databricks.
- A new Extension Gallery helps people easily search for and discover
connectors and dashboard extensions within Tableau. From the gallery,
customers can easily discover and install connectors and dashboard
extensions that add functionality to their dashboards and connectors that
enable Tableau to access additional databases and applications, within
their Tableau workflow.
- A redesigned notification experience displays a Tableau user's shares,
comments, extracts and prep flows together in one dedicated space. This
communicates all important changes across the organization. People can
choose where to receive these notifications — directly in Tableau, email or
both — ensuring they're aware of important alerts or updates.
- Quicker, easier Level of Detail (LOD) expressions let people use context
menus or drag-and-drop a measure onto a dimension to automatically create a
Level of Detail expression with the default aggregation.
- A new Salesforce Customer 360 Audiences Connector natively connects Tableau
to Customer 360 Audiences, uncovering insights in detailed customer data.
With the new connector, Tableau customers can explore by campaign, channel
and multiple customer dimensions to understand the 'who' and 'why' behind
their cross-channel engagement results.
