Case Study: United Way of the Bay Area achieves faster insights and cost savings with Tableau Software

United Way of the Bay Area does more with less with Tableau Online

United Way of the Bay Area, a nonprofit working to cut regional poverty in half by 2020, was constrained by limited funds, small staff, and disparate data systems that made it difficult to produce consistent, timely insights across programs and partner agencies. These challenges hindered their ability to track outcomes, share findings, and use data to inform decisions.

Adopting Tableau Online gave them hosted, reusable dashboards and Story Points that tie together multiple data sources, surface and help correct data-quality issues, and provide interactive, shareable reports staff and partners can access anytime. The solution reduced hosting overhead and staff time, increased engagement with data, and produced faster, more sustainable insights for program evaluation and decision-making.
