Software (overview)

Tableau was founded by Chris Stolte, Pat Hanrahan, and Christian Chabo in 2003 as a result of a computer science project at Stanford that aimed to improve the flow of analysis and make data more accessible to people through visualization. Tableau is a powerful and popular data visualization and business intelligence software. It is designed to help users easily analyse, visualize, and share data. It is a database software that connects and visualises data in minutes. Tableau is ten to one hundred times faster than existing solutions. (Tableau.com, 2023) Today, organizations everywhere—from non-profits to global enterprises, and across all industries and departments—are empowering their people with Tableau to drive change with data.

Big Data  In recent years the amount of data that is being generated increased dramatically making way for big data. Big data refers to data so big that traditional processing tools can not handle such an amount effectively. According to IBM big data can be defined as 'data sets whose size or type is beyond the ability of traditional relational databases to capture, manage and process the data with low latency.' The attributes that define big data are volume, variety, velocity, and variability. Big data became an integral part of many industries. With the usage of the internet and the development of technology more data is being stored. It is due to the Internet of Things, Artificial intelligence, social media or simply mobile devices where data is being constantly collected. Machine learning is a part of artificial intelligence that involves the use of algorithms to enable machines to learn from data and improve their performance over time without being explicitly programmed....
