Screen
Complete a quick self-service screening. We’ll quickly assess the level of effort required to migrate your Tableau Server environment to Tableau Cloud. We’ll discuss any potential roadblocks / risks and may recommend a deeper dive in our assessment. If we don’t find complicating factors, we’ll recommend moving directly to migration.
Assess
If your screening indicates at least one complication, we’ll work with your team to dive deeper into your Tableau Server. That involves a detailed repository exploration, evaluation of your Tableau Server topology and understanding of your accompanying business processes as they apply to Tableau governance and administration. We’ll provide a written evaluation outlining the overall level of effort, what we expect it would take to migrate to Tableau Cloud and recommendations on how to mitigate challenges around complexity, sustainability or cost.
Plan
Need to get Tableau Cloud migration right the first time? Our experts have been doing this for years. We’ll run a thorough Platform 360 to understand everything about your Tableau Server’s configuration, usage, history, and consumers. We’ll create a catalog and action plan that includes all users, data sources, workbooks and other Tableau objects. You’ll receive diagrams outlining target site / project content structure, target environment, Tableau Bridge configuration, authentication, integrations, etc. We’ll hold workshops with key stakeholders for clear alignment and understanding of the nuances of Tableau Cloud. When you’re ready, your team can leverage our plan or we’ll be happy to roll up our sleeves and help.
