What exactly are Tableau Accelerators?

Tableau Accelerators are pre-built dashboards and workbooks created by industry and functional experts, allowing you to leverage analytics tailored to your specific line of business, vertical, or sector. Instead of starting from scratch, you can begin with these expert-built dashboards for various industry and departmental use cases, accelerating your data-driven insights. These pre-built assets are designed to monitor and enhance key performance indicators (KPIs) across your entire organisation.

For instance, Tableau’s healthcare offerings have introduced Accelerators that delve into metrics such as patient wait times, admission rate seasonality, readmission rates, and more. In addition to industry-specific dashboards, Tableau offers a multitude of Accelerators for various lines of business functions like marketing, sales, and corporate finance. Tableau also provides Accelerators that seamlessly integrate with critical enterprise applications and cloud services such as Salesforce, Marketo, LinkedIn, and Service Now.
