The Data School has been paramount to our success at JLL. It has allowed us to bring in highly skilled Tableau and Alteryx consultants. It saves considerable time trying to recruit contractors as I know their skills and training are to the highest standard. Over the past 5 years my team has developed analytical insights which have generated multi million dollar savings of which a considerable amount can be attributed to the Data School consultants we have had working on projects.

What is Tableau Next?
Tableau Next is not just a new name for Tableau Desktop or Tableau Cloud. It' a newer Salesforce-native analytics platform that brings Tableau more directly into the Salesforce ecosystem. A bit of history helps here. Salesforce completed its acquisition of Tableau in 2019
