3. Tableau
 Tableau has an extremely fast BI engine but with
limited spatial capabilities
 Not a GIS
 No spatial analysis tools
 Links to almost any non-spatial BI database
 Firebird, SSAS, Netezza, Postgres, Hadoop, Teradata
 Charts, graphs, tables, roll-ups, etc. But No
Mapping!

4. So What’s the Issue?
 Tableau does not natively read any spatial format
 Everything in Tableau is a table
WMS? Not Exactly
