Case Study: Gutefrage.net answers questions in minutes instead of weeks with Tableau Software

Gutefrage.net answers questions in minutes instead of weeks

Gutefrage.net is Germany’s largest user‑generated advice portal, handling up to 100 million visits per month. Before adopting a BI system the company relied on IT for analysis requests, creating long round‑trip times—often weeks—and limiting the number and speed of data‑driven decisions across product, sales and management teams.

By deploying Tableau (connected to MySQL, Google Analytics, AdSense and Hadoop), Gutefrage enabled self‑service analytics for data scientists, product owners and department heads. The result: reports and answers that once took weeks are now available in minutes or hours, productivity and decision speed have increased, IT ticketing has dropped, and the company has realized significant time and cost savings while planning wider rollout and deeper data‑warehouse integration.
