Building a data platform doesn’t have to be like entering a portal to Stranger Things. Join us in one hour for Tableau in the Cloud: A Netflix Original where Albert Wong, Netflix’s analytics expert, will show you how to simplify your data stack to deliver self-service analytics at scale. Albert will discuss the details of connecting to big data, finding datasets, and discovering critical insights from visualizations. He will also share how Netflix is developing and growing their analytics ecosystem with Tableau, and how they prioritize sustaining their data culture of freedom and responsibility.
