Case Study: Aon achieves fast, trusted self-service analytics with Tableau Software

Aon delivers fast, accurate self-service analytics to employees around the world with Tableau

Aon, a global professional services firm with 50,000 colleagues in 120 countries, needed to accelerate time to insight and give employees self-service access to reliable analytics. Its Center for Innovation and Analytics found legacy tools (SQL, Cognos, BEx, Excel) were slow, skill-intensive, and lacked modern visual analytics, so Aon sought a single, scalable platform to improve speed, consistency, and trust in its data.

Aon implemented Tableau (with Alteryx for data prep) as a centralized, embedded analytics platform powering its flagship Risk/View portal, supported by company-wide training, templates, and a peer-reviewed community of users. The result: 90% of Risk/View content built in Tableau, development times cut from weeks to hours, faster, trustworthy insights for thousands of users, and consistent, professional dashboards both internally and for external clients.
