Best of Tableau Web: June 2022
Feed: What's New. Author: Andy Cotgreave. Hello DataFam! Welcome to the roundup of Tableau blogs and videos from June 2022. This month I wanted to tackle something slightly different. For the Data Leadership Collaborative Braindates, I hosted a session on Imposter Syndrome. I chose the topic because it’s something that’s dogged me for years, starting in some form soon after the publication of The Big Book of Dashboards. The Voice of Doubt in my head says, “Look at all these people making amazing Tableau content, and writing inspirational posts about design and storytelling. They’re all better than you.” Meanwhile, the ... Read More

Life sciences: now is the time to embrace analytics in the cloud
Feed: SAS Blogs. Author: Pippa White. Research, supply chain, manufacturing, and sales increasingly depend on partnerships in a digital ecosystem. Cloud-based analytics makes it possible to collaborate intelligently at scale. For years, life sciences companies have been justifiably cautious about moving their data science functions into the cloud. Although the industry’s central purpose is to accelerate innovation in science and healthcare, companies are conservative when it comes to data—and with good reason. Regulatory scrutiny and reputational risk mean that information security is paramount where patient medical records are concerned, and the results of clinical trials are commercially sensitive too. The ... Read More
