Case Study: Tableau achieves cross-platform UI efficiency and lower maintenance costs with Qt

Using Qt, the Business Intelligence and Analytics Leader Has Changed the Way People Use Data.

Tableau, the business intelligence and analytics leader, needed a single UI code base that could reach all operating systems while lowering maintenance costs, reducing UI development time, and accessing enterprise-level support. To meet those goals, Tableau turned to Qt.

Using Qt’s cross-platform technology and commercial licensing, Tableau built a responsive, branded user experience with native speed and performance across platforms. The result was a major reduction in maintenance costs—down to less than what it had cost to support just one platform before—along with faster development and a future-proofed UI strategy, all backed by Qt’s support network.
