Tableau app for Microsoft Teams will enable users to search, share, and interact with Tableau and Tableau Pulse insights from within Teams
Tableau integration with Microsoft Fabric OneLake will provide enhanced data exploration and discovery capabilities for customers
Tableau today announced an expansion to its partnership with Microsoft to deliver deeper, data-driven, and actionable insights by integrating Tableau with Microsoft Teams and enhancing connectivity with Microsoft Fabric. With this announcement, Tableau is delivering on its promise of an open architecture, interoperability, and continuing to prioritize customer success.
Tableau's integration with Microsoft Teams will enable users to access Tableau's AI-powered insights and collaborate on them without switching apps or context. The Microsoft Fabric integration will help Tableau users access and use data from OneLake to drive unified insights. These integrations save valuable time by keeping users in the flow of work and by enabling access to their data without duplicating or transferring it to other systems.
Why it matters: Microsoft is a trusted cloud and data services provider for many Tableau customers. As part of Tableau's commitment to delivering analytics and AI solutions, these integrations will improve interoperability and enable mutual customers to derive greater value from their data and IT investments.
Many customers use Microsoft Teams with Tableau, sharing insights derived using Tableau's leading analytics platform in their conversations and meetings. But today, this sharing doesn't happen in real time; changes in the underlying data renders these insights outdated or inaccurate. If a user has a follow-up question, they need to leave the Teams app to perform a manual cut-paste for additional analysis, leading to lost productivity and potential data exposure risk. When Tableau and Tableau Pulse apps become available for Teams, these users will be able to provide a more trusted and secure way to share accurate insights with all of the appropriate individuals within the Teams environment. Microsoft products and services are also an important data source users of Tableau need to access to generate analyses and insights. Tableau already integrates with Microsoft services such as SQL Server, Azure Synapse, and Azure Cosmos DB. Adding access to the data in Microsoft Fabric further expands the set of data sources Tableau users can harness for their insights and analyses.
The benefits of data collaboration and AI-powered analysis will allow customers to work more efficiently, make informed decisions, and take advantage of the full potential of their data across platforms.
Benefits of the expanded partnership with Microsoft include:
By combining Tableau's AI and analytics capabilities with Microsoft's collaboration and analytics tools, organizations can unlock valuable insights and make data-driven decisions directly within their workflows.
