Tableau 5.0, Business Intelligence Software packed with new features to enhance functionality

Tableau, the leading provider of Data Visualisation & Business Intelligence Software has recently released an updated version of their software. The next generation of Tableau software - Tableau 5.0 is faster, more secure and easier to manage than ever before.

Tableau 5.0 has more than 60 new features across four main themes including:

- Active views & dashboards

- Authoring rich experiences

- New data options

- Server Scalability and performance

So what are the benefits of the latest version? Well, all the new features are designed to improve the user experience, enabling users to ask better questions of their data. In addition, it will enable users to and provide better answers to questions based on the information they have found from the data.

Essentially, Tableau will provide users with a clearer view of what is happening within their organisation, enabling them to plan for the future – something which every organisation, irrespective of size or sector needs to do.

What makes Tableau even more appealing is that you do not need to be technically minded to use it. If you can use Excel you can use Tableau!

Concentrix provides CRM systems to the Passenger Transport Sector

The passenger transport market is highly competitive and targets driven. All companies are striving to increase passenger numbers, reduce the amount of late arrivals and ultimately magnify profitability.

The majority of us use public transport from time to time.  For some, it is part of their daily routine. However, with the increased awareness of global warming and government schemes to reduce carbon footprint, it seems extremely likely that more and more of us will use public transport for our daily commute.  But with an increasing number of passengers, how can transport operating companies ensure that everyone receives excellent customer service? Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems could provide the answer.

CRM is a way of improving business efficiency. It is about building and strengthening customer relationships to keep them coming back. CRM systems provide substantial advantages to transport companies as they significantly improve the way the organisation operates. Deploying a suitable CRM system could significantly change the customer service for passenger transport operators by

- Improving service, communication and transparency with the customer

- Increasing operational efficiency

- Providing real-time reporting on all elements of performance against KPIs

- Enabling  quality control

However, implementing a CRM system is by no means the whole story. For a CRM system to improve the efficiency, effectiveness and ultimately productivity, it needs to be part of much wider cultural shift. In order for this to happen, many organisations require CRM training once their system has been deployed and this is something which Concentrix can provide.
