What We Deliver
Four integrated delivery areas.
Each area is a real capability we’ve built and deployed — not a proposal. Here’s exactly what you get across each delivery stream.
01 — Setup
📊
Tableau Cloud & Server Setup
We get Tableau Cloud (or Tableau Server) fully configured — authentication, data sources, refresh schedules, embedded dashboards, and GraphQL integration, all handled end-to-end.
- Tableau Cloud provisioning — site setup, authentication, and security
- Data source configuration — live connections vs. extracts, refresh schedules
- Personal Access Token (PAT) management — secure storage, never returned to client
- Embedded dashboards — Tableau views published and embedded in your applications
- Reports & Dashboards import — published Cloud workbooks imported into your tools
- GraphQL integration — pull workbook measurements, logic, and data sources
ResultTableau Cloud or Server connected, authenticated, and accessible where your users work.
02 — MCP
🧠
MCP Configuration & Training
We configure Model Context Protocol (MCP) and train your team to use it effectively — so tools like Cursor, DataTools Pro, and internal systems are all connected and queryable through a consistent protocol layer.
- MCP server setup — connect DataTools Pro, Cursor, and internal systems
- Atlassian / Jira MCP — link tickets, metrics, and dashboards to project context
- Configuration guidance — environment variables, URLs, token management
- Training & documentation — how to query metrics and use MCP in daily work
Why MCP matters here
MCP is the same protocol that lets Claude AI connect to your API and take actions via natural language. Configuring it for Tableau gives your team a governed, queryable analytics layer they can access from any MCP-connected tool.
ResultYour team uses MCP-based tools with clear configuration, best practices, and documentation.
03 — Governance
📋
Analytics Governance Process
We build the governance layer that ensures every team is using the same metric definitions, with full lineage between Tableau Pulse, your Metrics Glossary, and your workbooks — so there’s one source of truth and no conflicting numbers.
- Metrics Glossary — central definitions for metrics and business terms
- Tableau Pulse integration — import Pulse metrics and merge with the glossary
- Duplicate detection — match on name/alias and recommend merge
- Merge workflows — link Tableau Pulse metrics to existing glossary entries
- Lineage & association — keep Tableau metric ↔ glossary metric links for traceability
- Admin controls — enable/disable Pulse and Metric Analyst features per role
ResultA single source of truth for metrics with clear relationships between Tableau Pulse, workbooks, and your glossary.
04 — Quality
✅
Automated Quality Assurance
We add automated checks and monitoring so issues are caught before they reach end users — data quality validation, consistency checks across systems, refresh monitoring, and full audit trails of every change.
- Data quality checks — validation rules, thresholds, and alerts
- Metric consistency — compare definitions across Pulse, workbooks, and the glossary
- Refresh monitoring — track extract and flow refresh status
- Error handling — improve config/connection error UX, no blocking loading states
- Audit trails — track changes, imports, merges, and permission updates
ResultIssues are caught early in the pipeline instead of surfacing in front of end users.
Proven Implementations
Every capability is already in production.
These aren’t features on a roadmap — they’re documented, deployed, and running. Here’s the full breakdown.
| Capability | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Tableau Pulse metrics import | Import Pulse metrics, merge with existing glossary entries, and keep associations for full lineage tracking. |
| Duplicate metric handling | Match on name and alias — exact match — and recommend merge before allowing creation of a new metric. |
| PAT management | PAT saved and encrypted server-side, never returned to the app. User can revoke at any time and add a new token. |
| GraphQL workbook integration | Pull workbook measurements, calculation logic, and data sources via the Tableau GraphQL API for governance use. |
| Tableau Cloud dashboards import | Import published Cloud dashboards and workbooks into your reporting hub alongside other data assets. |
| Admin permission controls | Admin can turn Tableau Pulse and Metric Analyst features on or off per org — no code changes required. |
| Secure auth UX | Config and connection errors handled cleanly — no blocking loading states displayed to the user after alert dismissal. |
How We Work
Five principles behind every engagement.
These aren’t values on a wall — they’re how the implementation is architected from day one.
🔐
Security-First
Encrypted tokens, PAT-style management, and no token exposure to the client at any layer of the stack.
📋
Governance Built-In
Glossary, merge workflows, and metric lineage are configured from day one — not retrofitted later.
📊
Tableau-Native
Workbooks, Pulse metrics, and governance all live inside Tableau — not bolted on from outside the platform.
✅
Automated Quality
Checks and monitoring are built in so dashboards stay trustworthy without manual review cycles.
🛠️
Admin-Friendly
Clear controls for who can use what features and when — no engineering ticket needed to make permission changes.
Who This Is For
Built for the teams who need it most.
Whether you’re managing a data team, running analytics ops, or responsible for IT governance — this is designed for how your team actually works.
