"In order to access quantitative data on products and markets, companies have come to rely on QL2's data platform. QL2's on-demand data platform integrates data from virtually anywhere to deliver the right data, in the right format, at the right time," said QL2's Vice President of Marketing Rosie Hausler. "Our most common customer request was for more effective, robust, but easy-to-use analytics, and we wanted to provide a compelling SaaS-based solution that could scale the huge volumes of data our customers consume. To address this demand, Tableau fit the bill perfectly. With Tableau, QL2 can easily create and embed visual analytics without a heavy product integration effort. Our customers get truly useful, easy-to-use data visualizations and dashboards that help them see and understand their data better than ever before."

QL2 will embed configurable reports, dashboards and visualizations from Tableau Server (http://www.tableausoftware.com/products/server) into the QL2 on-demand (SaaS) data platform for customers. Tableau's award-winning data visualization software connects directly to data sources, enabling people to understand data through engaging and easy-to-understand reports, business dashboards and visualizations. Tableau also allows entire organizations to share, discover and participate with their data via a Web browser. The Tableau capabilities will be available to QL2 customers with the upcoming release of Tableau version 5.0.

"When QL2 sought an analytical solution to enhance the reporting and analytics it currently had in its data platform, it also needed something that would be easy to deploy, fast to market and satisfy its demanding customer base," said Tableau's CEO Christian Chabot (http://www.tableausoftware.com/christian-chabot). "QL2 chose Tableau because our solution is simple to use, it produces compelling visuals and it is easy to integrate."
