Summary

Today's business decisions are about seconds, not minutes. As companies move to evidence-backed decision making and widespread data access, they face two challenges: making data easily available and making it actionable in real time. With a centralized database approach, raw data is now shared with everyone, empowering employees to dive into the data and discover new opportunities. Innovations in data visualization tools like Tableau have produced powerful, interactive dashboards that afford companies the opportunity to be data-driven. However, users still face issues such as slow query execution, concurrency limitations, and siloed data, which can hinder their ability to make timely decisions. To address these challenges, SingleStore has collaborated with Tableau to provide a seamless business intelligence solution, enabling users to reduce query latency from minutes to seconds, putting time back on the clock and dollars back in businesses' pockets.
