Says has become one of the fastest-growing companies in the 50-year history of business analytics software
After five years of exponential growth, Tableau said the company has reached $913 million in lifetime global revenue—$413 million of which was generated in 2014. With that achievement, Tableau has become one of the fastest-growing companies in the 50-year history of business analytics software announced the press release.
Tableau’s growth was also driven by tremendous international expansion in 2014, including in the Asia Pacific region (APAC). In APAC, more than 3,000 companies and organizations are using Tableau, 1,500 of which were added in 2014. Japan led the pack with sales growth of more than 200 percent year over year, adding the most new customer accounts in the region. In Australia, Tableau’s largest APAC market, the company increased its customer base by 50% over 2013, reaching over 900 customer accounts further stated the release.
Tableau now has customers in 150 countries worldwide, more than half of which reported triple-digit growth in 2014. Internationally, Tableau has seen revenue growth of over 100 percent for four consecutive years. In response to growing demand in the region, Tableau has increased its headcount in APAC to a total of 130 people, an increase of five-fold since 2012, when it opened its first office there.
“In the average week more than 150 organizations are moving to the Tableau way,” said Christian Chabot, CEO and Co-founder of Tableau. “People are looking for analytics technology that is fast, easy, and for everyone. They want to put the power of data into the hands of people at all levels of their companies. We saw the strongest demand we’ve ever seen in our history, making 2014 a tipping point year for Tableau.”
