Business intelligence for government—an IT democracy

Some of the most critical data in our society is government data. But agencies struggle with the demands of accomplishing their mission and at the same time providing transparency into data. Creating complex, hard-to-use data warehouses with long implementation cycles simply takes time away from other important work.


See it in Action




washington d.c. strives for e-government

TDWI reports that the government of Washington, D.C. lets citizens view and analyze crimes, ambulance deployment, and public works. "If we can let people see what we're doing [translates] into benefits for them in their neighborhoods, they'll have a better sense of what we're doing to benefit them," says Phillip Heinrich, the Capstat program manager in the District of Columbia city administrator office. The District of Columbia is a long-time Tableau customer.

The District of Columbia used Tableau Software on its CapStat project, dedicated to "improving incident and event information conductivity between emergency operation centers in and around our nation's capital."


analyze survey data

You probably use surveys to get critical feedback that shapes policies and spending decision. Online tools make it easy to collect survey data, but you need more to get insight from the data. With Tableau, you can group and filter respondents, and explore their feedback interactively.

find peak periods in public transportation

Analyze costs and usage of bus and transit systems so you can better prioritize mass transit investments. Find any problem spots in your service area.

prioritize fire and ambulance resources

Map your 911 logs and other police and emergency data to find patterns that help you focus resources where they're most needed. Use historical data to plan for and improve response times to major incidents.



























create dashboards for city administrators

Set up dashboards that help you understand data from multiple perspectives. Tableau dashboards allow you to draw data from multiple sources to create an integrated view-- so you can find important connections in the data. And do it all when you need it, without help from IT.

collaborate and share with the public

Your findings aren't effective unless you share them with colleagues or with the public. Tableau lets you embed any analysis in a web browser or portal, or print or save your analysis.
