Case Study: Invesco builds a data community and visual repository with Infotopics PictureThis

Building a community with PictureThis

Invesco wanted to encourage more self-service analytics across the company by giving employees one place to share reports, see who was working on what, and access visual repositories across tools like Tableau, PowerBI, and Adobe. The team needed a solution that could support a data community for their internal “data artisans,” but they did not have the resources to build it themselves, so they looked for a ready-made option and found Apps for Tableau’s PictureThis extension.

Using PictureThis from Infotopics, Invesco built a landing page called the Greenhouse that displays reports across the company, separates Insights Ready content from Work in Progress, and adds metadata and author links in one place. Infotopics also quickly added a URL action to the extension so users could open workbooks directly from the pictures, making the repository more useful and efficient. The result was greater data visibility, improved data literacy, easier report discovery, and a stronger internal data community, with some sensitive reports still restricted while their about pages remain visible.
