"Ad - hoc Analytics in OBIEE is quite a challenge and getting help from IT is not an option since their lead times are long," explained Yun Fan, a Senior Marketing Analyst. Regardless, Yun was to pursue a six - day long process to import the data into Tableau and develop visualization. Yun quickly realized the unsustainability of this approach. Yun needed a solution that would allow her to easily and quickly bring OBIEE data into Tableau.
