Gaylord Chemical | Tableau Cloud Jumpstart
DataDrive specializes in providing analytics consulting services to some of the biggest brands in the world, creating impactful data products that enhance business performance. The company helps users optimize their investment in Tableau by removing the need for manual spreadsheets, enabling growth through data-driven decision-making, all without the necessity of hiring costly data teams or managing a complicated infrastructure. After discussing with the Gaylord team and relevant stakeholders to understand their data collection and reporting requirements, DataDrive proposed the Tableau Cloud Jumpstart service. This unique offering from DataDrive facilitates implementation, provides actionable insights, shares best practices for administration, and includes end-user training, all within a 90-day timeframe. Following this, DataDrive transformed Gaylord's Excel reports into interactive dashboards tailored for executive-level audiences, updating them daily. They then established a strong foundation for Gaylord on the Tableau Cloud platform, configuring new users with appropriate security measures and outlining a content strategy for dashboard publication within specific business functions on Tableau Cloud. Additionally, DataDrive conducted an extensive multi-day Tableau Desktop training session for business users, enabling them to learn how to connect data and create visualizations independently. This initiative sparked new opportunities for data automation and enhanced the platform’s adoption and utilization. “Adoption and engagement with Tableau and its dashboards have been very successful,” remarked Artie. “The key users were eager to leverage the tool more extensively.”
