San Juan College chose Tableau after reviewing five business analytics vendors. Tableau came highly recommended by other education institutions and fit the college's criteria.

"Tableau's ease of use, functionality and ability to access data from disparate sources were key factors in making our selection," said Laurie Gruel, Sr. Director of Strategic Development at San Juan College. "It's important that departments across campus can get insights into their own data since they're the ones best equipped to make decisions."

San Juan College will use Tableau to report progress to the Board of Directors and other internal and external communities.  Eventually, it plans to share some visualizations on its web site for all to see.

"San Juan College, like most colleges, has many different departments and data sources it needs to bring together in order to make informed decisions," said  Elissa Fink, Chief Marketing Officer at Tableau Software. "Tableau provides a way to blend this data and present it in a visual and compelling way so key decision makers can reach better outcomes."
