Case Study: Keio University connects XML data to Tableau with CData Drivers

When visualizing and analyzing healthcare-related data in Tableau, the university adopted the CData Driver for XML to standardize and simplify their data acquisition and reduce development hours

Keio University, a leading private university in Japan, needed a better way to work with healthcare-related research data in Tableau. Their team was dealing with XML files that required conversion before analysis, creating extra development effort and slowing down their data visualization workflow. CData helped address this challenge with the CData Driver for XML.

Using CData’s XML driver, Keio University was able to read XML data directly in Tableau as if it were native table data, with no custom development or maintenance required. The result was a faster, simpler path to analysis: the team reduced development hours, quickly got started with a trial, and began exploring life-expectancy trends within minutes, improving their time to insight with CData.
