With skyrocketing revenues and number of 100K USD deals (a gauge showing enterprise adaptation of a business software), Tableau is getting fast into enterprise-wide BI deployment. As the emphasis on "Tableau for Enterprise" was significantly higher in this years Tableau Customer Conference (September 2014), Tableau Software has also released Tableau Drive, a methodology for scaling out self-service analytics.
So what is Tableau Drive? This is a freely available methodology relying on iterative, agile methods that are faster and more effective than traditional long-cycle deployment. A cornerstone of this approach is a new model of a partnership between business and IT. In Drive methodology, IT owns the “Center of Operations” and business owns analytics and the “Center of Evangelism”.
Tableau Software released the methodology ahead of Tableau 9.0 which is expected in the first quarter of 2015. Tableau 9.0 is expected to have a lot of improvements in scalability some of which were showcased in September's event.
Drive has 4 phases "Discovery", "Prototyping", "Foundation Building" and "Scaling Out".
