Today at Tableau Conference, Salesforce and Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced an integration between Tableau and Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3). The AWS S3 connector for Tableauย provides customers with quick and simple access to unstructured data stored in AWS S3 directly from Tableau, improving the ๏ฌow of work and driving greater e๏ฌciency and better decision-making.
Signi๏ฌcance: Forty-one percent of business leaders ๏ฌnd their data complex and hard to access, making it di๏ฌcult to make data-driven decisions. Unstructured data in particular does not have a prede๏ฌned format, making it even harder to understand and process.
The AWS S3 Connector for Tableau is powered by Hyper technology, Tableauโs in-memory data engine. It speeds up data ingesting and analytical query processing, and makes it easier to access and analyze unstructured data from S3 and gain insights directly in Tableau.
