Faster, Better, Less Expensive: Data-Driven Clinical Trials Monitoring
Clintel identified a growing need in drug development: enabling clinical development organizations to comply with FDA draft guidance on risk-based monitoring principles. They saw the potential to develop easy-to-use tools that could also improve quality and significantly reduce costs. The FDA advocates alternatives to regular, frequent onsite visits and verification of all data, which involve costly travel and provide little added benefit. Instead, they recommend approaches that identify risks to patient safety by utilizing critical data elements gathered in clinical data systems as a method of determining which sites warrant additional attention from clinical research associates (CRAs). The problem lies in getting that information to the right people at the right time, and in their language. Despite these issues, spreadsheets have become the default report technology for many business users because they have simply had no other option.

e-Commerce Improves Use of Valyoo-able Data with Tableau
Valyoo, an e-commerce company based in New Delhi, India, was facing a challenge with its reporting efficiency. The company, which operates four different online shopping sites, was experiencing rapid growth and needed a way to keep up with increased reporting demands without having to hire additional staff. The analytics team was using Microsoft Access and Excel to meet reporting needs, but the demand was quickly outstripping what the team could produce using these tools.

This process was time-consuming and inefficient, with the team spending approximately four hours per day building these repeated reports with fresh data. The company needed a solution that could improve this process and help managers make decisions faster.

The lack of a unified view of data across the organization created confusion around the true numbers. The client asked Bridge i2i to build a solution—using 100MB of data— that would deliver a single version of truth for its market share/size forecasting.

PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI), one of the largest banks in Indonesia, was facing a significant challenge in its data analytics process. The bank, which is data-driven in its approach, was struggling with a centralized system where data analytics was considered a task for the IT department only. Business teams had to put in a request to IT every time they needed a new report or dashboard, and then wait up to four weeks for a response. The reports and dashboards were prepared using complex queries and coding, which often led to requests for changes and further delays. In some cases, the dashboard was no longer required by the time it was complete. BRI wanted to enable faster delivery of data to business teams and build a foundation for self-service analytics.

Princeton University Office of Development Sees “A Paradigm Shift” with Tableau
Princeton University's Office of Development, responsible for initiating and nurturing donor relationships, was struggling with time-consuming, error-prone manual reporting processes. Staffers had to dig through several different reports to answer questions, a process that was not only time-consuming but also prone to mistakes. Viewing data in Excel made it difficult to notice results that didn’t quite make sense—data entry errors or outliers that could indicate significant risks or opportunities. The major gifts team each managed a pool of approximately 200 prospects—far too many people to rely on memory to manage contacts. With no dedicated tools to visualize overall engagement, the office relied on large list reports and manual review of individual records to make sure prospect and donor relationships were adequately tended. The research analytics team was responsible for reporting high-level campaign metrics to university trustees and other top executives, but this was another time-consuming, manual effort.
Case Study
Vertex Services Improves Global Understanding with Tableau
Vertex Services, a global distributor of flooring products, faced challenges in accessing and sharing data stored in disparate sources due to its worldwide operations. The company did not have a centralized data warehouse, but rather diverse, discrete applications located across the globe. Many systems, including accounting and order processing, were duplicated or split between the US and Hong Kong offices. Vertex also operates a number of different portals through which partners share data; data from this partner portal was maintained in its own discrete database. This added time to the decision-making process. Another challenge was that the primary analytics and reporting tool for the company was Microsoft Excel, which did not lend itself to the iterative questioning process that leads to true insight. As a result, often decisions were made based on assumptions or educated guesses.
Case Study

This process was time-intensive and manual, and any changes to the data required updating everything individually. Furthermore, the owner of Audience Audit, Susan Baier, had to work through the data herself to parse out key insights and share its story with her clients. The challenge was to find a way to make the work more accessible to agency clients, which would require major changes.

Tableau Brings Data to Life for Educators in Texas
The Financial Services Administration Department of the Region 4 Education Service Center recognized a need to develop meaningful ways to analyze and visualize state-mandated information submitted by its member districts. The information is contained in ASCII text files that are difficult to use or analyze. Region 4 developed a process to bring multiple years of this data into one cohesive database. However, the significant amount of time needed to build these capabilities into their products was extending their time to market, affecting not only their internal resources and productivity but their customer satisfaction rates as well. The missing piece in this process was the ability to interact with the data in a meaningful way. Region 4 needed a tool for analysis and reporting that was visual, easy to learn and use by school administrators, didn’t require servers or IT support, and was affordable.

The committee started with a small group of around eight people working on and testing Tableau, and now it's being used by many federations. They have 70 staff members, so 26 is actually a lot. The main goal from the beginning has been to sustain the work between the consultants and the federations.

ManpowerGroup Analytics: Now Faster, Better and More Strategic
ManpowerGroup, one of the largest HR companies in the world, realized that it held a great deal of valuable data. However, it was not leveraging this information to drive competitive advantages for itself or its clients. The company needed to develop data-driven business review documents that could be used to drive strategic conversations. However, users asking the IT team to script and run reports from the Cognos Enterprise business intelligence solution faced a long queue. If the resulting document answered the wrong question, or users developed new questions after seeing the results, the process had to be repeated. This approach produced inconsistent answers to a question depending upon who you asked. These homegrown solutions also carried the risk of errors. Manpower has offices in more than 80 locations across the globe. While North American data is housed in a data warehouse, data from other locations could be provided in a number of different formats. Blending information from these disparate data sources into a cohesive customer presentation was a long, manual process.

Tableau Saves Manufacturer Thousands of Dollars with Simplified Information Sharing
Blastrac Manufacturing was facing a challenge with its reporting method. The company did not have a consistent reporting method in place and, consequently, preparation of reports for the company’s various needs was tedious. Blastrac’s analysts each spent nearly one whole day per week extracting data from the multiple Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, loading it into several Excel spreadsheets, creating filtering capabilities and establishing pre-defined pivot tables. These massive spreadsheets were often inaccurate and consistently hard to understand, and they were virtually useless for the sales team, which couldn’t work with the complex format. In addition, each consumer of the reports had different needs—while some thought the reports were lacking detail, others thought there was too much.

Tableau Enables More Efficient, Effective Survey Analysis for Market Research Firm
Kwantum Institute, a market research firm serving major global automotive manufacturers, was struggling with its survey analysis and reporting process. The existing process, which involved a combination of Excel pivot tables, charts, and VBA macros, was not only time-consuming but also produced static and lengthy reports.
