Consulting
Tableau.
From the initial phase to optimisation: interactive dashboards that deliver actionable insights, for companies across Europe.
What does a Tableau consultancy do?
A Tableau consultancy designs, builds and maintains your company's visual analytics in Tableau: it connects your data sources, prepares the data model (Hyper extracts or live connections), builds the dashboards each team uses and publishes them to Tableau Cloud or Tableau Server with the right permissions. At Digital Fox Data we do it end to end, from Spain for companies across Europe.
In the initial phase we analyse the data sources and the requirements of each area with you. Then we build calculated fields and interactive dashboards and, once the project is running, we cut load times by applying Tableau best practices and train your team. We work on fixed projects or through blocks of hours.
Our Tableau specialist is Amina Laanab: more than 4 years as a data analyst using Tableau to turn raw data into data stories that help the business decide, with experience in marketing, retail, banking, insurance and education.

Frequently asked questions about Tableau consulting
Which Tableau licence do I need?
Tableau Cloud is sold as Creator, Explorer and Viewer user licences, assigned to each person according to their role and what they need to do with the data; the contract is annual and every deployment needs at least one Creator licence. When we scope the project we work out with you how many of each you need. Prices and editions on the official Tableau Cloud pricing page.
Tableau Cloud or Tableau Server?
Tableau Cloud is the version fully hosted by Tableau: you do not install or maintain servers. Tableau Server is self-managed and runs on your own infrastructure, on Windows Server or Linux according to its technical specifications. We help you choose based on your security requirements, where the data must live and your IT team.
Can Tableau connect to our ERP, CRM or databases?
In most cases, yes. Tableau has native connectors for Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, Snowflake, Google BigQuery, Amazon Redshift, Databricks, SAP HANA, Salesforce, Excel and text files, among others, plus ODBC and JDBC (official data source list). If a system has no connector, it is usually read from its database or from a scheduled export.
Can you review Tableau dashboards we already have?
Yes. We review the data sources, extracts, calculated fields and dashboard design to apply Tableau best practices and reduce load times. That is our optimisation service, and there is no need to start from scratch.
How much does Tableau consulting cost?
It depends on the number of data sources, their quality, how many dashboards and users there are and whether you are migrating from another tool. That is why we work on fixed projects or through blocks of hours; Tableau licences are separate. Tell us about your case and we will propose the format that fits.
Tableau or Power BI?
Tableau stands out for visual exploration and runs on Windows and Mac; Power BI fits better if your company already lives in Microsoft 365 and wants the lowest entry cost. We work with both, and compare them in Power BI vs Tableau: differences and which to choose.
Value delivered at every stage.
At Digital Fox Data we firmly believe in proactivity as an added value to our services: beyond the urgent, we suggest improvements and analyse new data sets that can be added to the analysis. We work both on specific projects and through blocks of hours.
