Bring Your Own Connector to Tableau Cloud (BYOC) #Tableau #TableauCloud #salesforce

0:00BYOC.

0:01This is sort of borrowed from Bring Your Own Device, Bra BYOD.

0:05Now in pilot, organizations using proprietary systems or unsupported databases can now deploy custom drivers and connectors

0:12Enabling migration to Tableau Cloud.

0:14So this is kind of nice.

0:14So Tableau Cloud is run by Tableau.

0:17So you might wonder, well, I could already do this on Tableau Server.

0:19Yes, you can.

0:20But here's the problem.

0:21Because Tableau Cloud is managed by Tableau.

0:24If you had a proprietary database of a very weird custom driver for your specific database, it was not easy to get it to work with Tablet Cloud because Tablet Cloud only supported the generally available

0:35drivers and connectors and so this allows you to use those bespoke drivers.

0:40Bring your own connector unlocks the full power of web authoring, publish data source extracts and tablet prep flows whilst ensuring site level governance

0:48and usage monitoring.

0:49So essentially making sure that everything works.

0:52So this is actually quite nice for enterprise organizations trying to move to the Tableau Cloud.

0:56They're doing everything they can to get that move done.

0:58So this is again quite nice
