A Winning 10 Days - Tableau Software Honored by Recent 2 Award Wins and 1 Nomination
Posted by Elissa Fink on May 22, 2008Gary Player, a great golfer of the 1960's and 70's, once said "The harder I work, the luckier I get". Tableau just had some good luck based on the hard work of our development team (who work hard to listen to customers). In the last 10 days, we were honored to win or be finalists for 3 different awards. In addition to winning the Network Products Guide Award for Product Innovation in Business Intelligence, we were selected as a finalist for the American Business Awards (the "Stevies"). And, just Tuesday we learned we won a CODiE award for Best Business Intelligence/Knowledge Management solution.
