 Hi everybody, this is Dave Vellante at wikibond.org and we're here at the nation's capital in Washington, D.C. at the Tableau Customer Conference. This is day two for theCUBE, Silicon Angles flagship coverage of the Tableau Customer Conference, TCC 13. I'm here with Jeff Kelly, who's my co-host. I'm sitting in for John Furrier, who is the normal host of this show at theCUBE. He's out in California crunching some data from this weekend's activity with the NFL and the NCAAs, we captured a collector and grabbed thousands and thousands of tweets on those two topics, and John's with the data science team digging through that, so I'm here with Jeff Kelly. We had a full day yesterday. Yesterday was customer day, really. We did have Daniel Juedon, who's the vice president of product marketing at Tableau, but the balance of the day yesterday was customers and of course we wrapped it up with Ray Wang. But essentially what we're seeing here is a really high enthusiasm for Tableau's products and services, really unlocking the power of big data through visualization. Tableau's a leader in that space. They're a recent IPO, company just went public. They're really killing it. We're talking about a $50 million quarter. We're talking about 71% growth rate. We're talking about a $4 billion market cap. We're talking about a couple hundred million dollars in the bank, so this company's well poised for growth. It is well under penetrated. It's got great opportunities overseas. It's got opportunities, what it calls a land and expand. It gets into an account and then like a tick gets its teeth in there and then expands throughout the organization as people learn the power of the product. Having said that, the company's not without competition. There's other players like ClickTech in the marketplace. There's other players doing lightweight visualization as well, the entrenched players of BI and Excel. I call it entrenched BI and Excel HAL. I put on a tweet last night that the way you can compete on those two vectors is with a 10X value proposition. It seems in talking to customers, Jeff Kelly, that's exactly what Tableau has. Last night party at the museum, which if you haven't been, it's fantastic. It's really a tribute to the news throughout the history of the United States news organizations as well. We just heard Nate Silver coming off the keynote. Nate Silver, of course, the political pundit, sports geek, data geek, former writer for the New York Times, 538.com blog now joining ESPN. Jeff Kelly, give me your take on Nate Silver's keynote. Well, it was as expected, it was a great keynote. He talked a lot about really some practical tips to work with data, to become a better data analyst, a better data scientist. To learn how to take into account some of your own biases when looking at data. And he gave some great anecdotes, of course. If you've read his book, you might be familiar with some of them. But he gave some great anecdotes around a number of different industries, whether it be the stock market and not taking into account certain information around housing that led to, in part, led to the financial troubles we had several years ago and continue to this day in some degree, as well as his other passion, of course, being sports and how low-budget teams, such as the A's and the Tampa Bay, are raised, used data and analytics to really compete with some of the more, you know, the teams like the Yankees and the Red Sox who have a lot more money. So it was a good mix of anecdotes and some best practices and some tips and clearly he is revered among the attendees here at the Tableau Customer Conference, or at least so. So we're going to have Nate on a little later to dig into some of those issues a little bit more and very interested to hear about, you know, how some of his experience can be translated to the enterprise, as we mentioned, as I mentioned, you know, his kind of core areas were politics and sports. You know, but we've got a lot of companies here in a variety of markets and I'll be interested to talk to him a little bit about how some of his best practices can be translated into those industries. Yeah, so we have Nate Silver coming on at 1030 today. At least he's committed to coming on. You never know sometimes with these celebrities, the book writers, they've got a book signing today, but he has committed to coming on theCUBE, so we're excited to have him. So tweet your questions at D-Valente or at Jeffrey F. Kelly. We'll give you a shout out if we use one of the questions. Had a couple Rob Bergen sent in a question and had some others around baseball. Some of the obvious ones. Come on guys, come up with questions that we haven't thought of already. Let's see, let's break down the day today. We've got Tom Walker on today. He's the CFO of Tableau. We're just going to talk to him about what it's like to be a public company, what some of his priorities are. Then we've got Nate Silver coming on at 1030. Tom Walker's on at 1005. We've got Kristin Chabot, who's the CEO of Tableau coming on. He's a very dynamic individual. That's at one o'clock. Alyssa Fink's coming on at three o'clock. She's the CMO of Tableau. So a number of Tableau folks. We've got George Matthew coming on, Cube alum. He's the COO and president of Altrix, a Tableau partner doing some really interesting stuff within memory and big data analytics. So keep it right there, everybody. We'll be right back at 9.45, which is five minutes ago. But we're starting in about five minutes from now. Tom Walker's coming on. And before that, Dan Murray of InterWorks. He's the director of BI services. We're going to talk to him about what he's doing with Tableau. So keep it right there. We'll be right back after this word.
