Case Study: Freescale Semiconductor achieves rapid self-service analytics and 10-minute ad-hoc reporting with Tableau Software

Freescale takes a modern approach to enterprise analytics

Freescale Semiconductor (now part of NXP) designs chips for automobiles, computers, and consumer products. As the company scaled its analytics program, it needed to shift from IT-controlled reporting to a self-service model without sacrificing data quality or consistency, creating a governance and change-management challenge.

IT responded by curating trusted data sources in Tableau Server and instituting a governance framework of guidelines, best practices, and checklists for business users. The result: teams can build ad-hoc reports in about 10 minutes, get faster, more accurate insights, and free IT to focus on delivering the right answers for the business.
