Datawatch Shows Tableau Conference Goers How to Become Data Heroes With Self-Service Data Preparation

CHELMSFORD, Mass., Sept. 23, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Datawatch Corporation (NASDAQ-CM:DWCH), a leading global provider of managed analytics solutions, will sponsor and present at the Tableau Conference 2015 (TC15) in Las Vegas.

TC15 brings together more than 11,000 data enthusiasts to learn the latest innovations in using data to gain a clearer understanding of the world, and how to change it for the better. One of the biggest challenges for Tableau analysts is to deliver better insights faster. Yet, preparing the data for visual analysis often takes longer than creating the visualizations themselves.

At the show, Datawatch’s Chief Marketing Officer, Dan Potter, will provide Tableau analysts insight into how to blend complex datasets from extremely diverse data sources for self-service analytics. Potter’s session will focus on the critical role that self-service data preparation plays in making these users “data heroes”.  Better insights come from using data that they never thought possible – like weekly sales report data from distribution partners, inventory reports from legacy ERP systems that only provide data from static PDF reports, and competitive market data from a web page.  All of this data can then be visualized in Tableau. The session will show how faster analysis comes from pre-processing the data in a very natural, intuitive way – as 80 percent of most analysts' time is spent preparing the data.
