This document summarizes a webinar titled "Tableau Power Up" presented by Pacific Point and Tableau. The webinar covered how Tableau helps people see and understand data through visual analytics. It discussed how the human brain can process visual information faster than text, and how Tableau supports the cycle of visual analysis through incremental, expressive, unified and direct interaction with data. The webinar demonstrated connecting to data, creating visualizations, advanced analytics techniques in Tableau, and sharing/collaboration. It concluded by providing information on accessing the recording and scheduling follow up sessions.

Christine Davis, who you’ll hear from a little later in our webinar today is with SugarCRM. She is in their Sales department and Hawaii is one of her territories.
So a big Aloha to Christine!
Tableau was born out of Stanford, where Dr. Pat Hanrahan and his PhD student, Chris Stolte, developed a revolutionary new way to analyze data visually. They built a language called VizQL, which translates drag-and-drop actions into database queries and visualizes the data returned. They teamed up with Christian Chabot, our CEO and another Stanford alum, and they founded Tableau Software in 2003.
Dr. Hanrahan is one of the co-founders of Pixar, and an Academy Award winner, so obviously visual information is important to him. But why is it important to you? Why do our products put so much emphasis on the visualization of data? That’s what I’m going to talk about next.
