Tableau Consulting – What you should ask while Onboarding Server Governance

The right Tableau consulting for Governance Server starts the moment you ask the right questions. In this article, you will discover the three basic yet important questions to ask, which you will ensure you assign the superior consultant to then enjoy the reliable Tableau Governance Server for a long time to come.

So what are these questions?   

Which Governance Model is Suitable for your Company?

Generally, there are three basic governance models: centralized, decentralized & federated. Each model has it's own functionalities along with a few pros & cons. Some startup organizations, as they grow their business, will find out centralized model useful and will move towards decentralized model after a few months or years. While other companies will focus on assets that make more sense for their business, assets and working environment.

 

MODELS

CAVEAT

Centralized Model

As the name indicates, the centralized model involves ONE person as a centre serving tableau Server Administrative the needs of the entire business. It’s pretty easy to deploy and to figure out who to talk to.

 

Single point of contact is the biggest problem of a centralized model. As the organizational requirements grow, the person dealing with Tableau Administrative becomes a bottleneck and nothing remains easier from there onwards.

 

Decentralized Model

In this model, the lower content hierarchical levels and site are pushed out of the team and the entire department. Unlike the centralized model, there are TWO power users who deal with the Tableau Server.   

The biggest risk with this model occurs if no process or rule were in place to impose some level of coordination among power users. A common drawback that can be evaded through coordination can arise when two units with conflicts need to require changes to Tableau Server (project structure, permission, schedules tasks…).  

Federated Model

This is the model in which the steering committee builds of all Power users and or decentralized Site Administrators set up. This committee will perform two activities: Sere the Tableau server requirements of the enterprise & take decision related to configuration and deployment of Tableau server that is being coordinated across the department within the enterprise.     

“N/A”

 

Who is the Administers for the Tableau Server?

Before you get started with the Governance services via Tableau consulting, it’s crucial to ask who is the administer for the server. But before that, one should know the relationship between Server Administrator and the Site Administrator. And, then we’ll begin with something they both have in common. Both administrators have open access to content within the regions they administer.

Depending on the organizational structure, a Site administrator & a Server Administrator could work together or independently. That’s because they are experts in two different areas or have no reason to interact.      

 What would be the Content Promotion Bite?

In the world of Tableau, content promotion indicates the transferring of workbook or data source to a new development environment. The Tableau Server doesn’t have inbuilt content promotion functionality. Therefore, it’s completely up to us to implement a strong process for transforming content form development to production.

  • There are a few questions involved promoting content
  • Will Tableau developer be granted with the power to promote content?
  • What sort of oversight will be used to validate the content quality to be promoted?

How dashboard designers will communicate with the QC people?

Finding answers to these questions will ensure

  • Data Integrity
  • Adequate data structure & model
  • Functional design
  • Data security        

Start by addressing these questions with your potential Tableau consultants.  It is here that you will discover whether they fully understand your company and can fulfill your needs.
