Cal Viz (Tableau Enterprise Server)

Cal Viz enables UC Berkeley campus departments to publish and deploy interactive dashboards and visualizations to broad campus audiences, as well as the public, via a Tableau Enterprise Server. Publishing Tableau content to the server and receiving technical support from Berkeley IT requires annual paid participation in the Cal Viz Consortium.

Cal Viz (powered by Tableau) is a data visualization tool that allows campus analysts to dynamically connect to and integrate hundreds of types of data sources ranging from an Excel spreadsheet, to an on-premise or cloud database, to an unstructured web server log file, to a student data API. Tableau is already speeding up data delivery and allowing campus departments to tell compelling stories using the latest data visualizations.

This service is available in response to proliferating campus demand for self-service tools to access, integrate, explore, and visualize data. Berkeley IT partnered with University Development and Alumni Relations (UDAR) and Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A) to establish a centrally administered Tableau Enterprise Server. Berkeley IT provides security and software management for this service only. Working with our team provides an opportunity for collaboration and cost savings.
