Case Study: Red Hat scales analytics to 4,500+ employees and deepens data culture with Tableau Software

Red Hat embraces Tableau Blueprint and Tableau Online, deepens data culture with 4,500+ staff in less than a year

Red Hat, a leading provider of open-source and hybrid-cloud technologies, faced a fragmented analytics landscape as it scaled—multiple BI tools and 60+ disparate data sources made it hard for leaders and analysts to see the big picture and act quickly. The company needed a cloud-based, scalable analytics platform and a coordinated deployment strategy to reduce maintenance overhead and break down data silos.

Guided by Tableau Blueprint, Red Hat migrated to Tableau Online, decommissioned other BI tools, and built a community-driven enablement model (including a Tableau Enablement Lead and Project Owners) to drive adoption and proficiency. Within a year adoption surged to more than 4,500 users, integrations across 60+ sources centralized insights, executive dashboards reduced manual reporting, and teams reported faster, more trusted decision-making and measurable time and cost savings.
