Car Usage Option AIn an complex environment tools and systems are not
helpful without the right usage from people

● Visually Stunning – The solution stood out compared to our
in-house solutions when put up on the Screens.
● Ease of Use – We needed to present ideas quickly and Tableau
enabled that without having to make significant investments.
● Self Service – IT’s responsibility was to ensure the necessary
information and technology was accessible. Business SMEs
focused on generating the right content and actionable insights.
● Social / Community Support – No other platform has this.
