Abstract

Big data Analytics is an emerging trend in today’s world and big data analysis is receiving increasing attention in many industries, including social media, healthcare, retailers etc. Visualization plays an important role not only in intuitively showing the results of data analysis but also in the whole process of collecting, cleaning, analyzing, and sharing data. This paper presents a procedure for the interactive visualization and analysis of retail data, using Tableau as a business intelligence tool. Amazon Web Services has been the leader in the public cloud space since the beginning. Tableau integrates with AWS services to empower enterprises to maximize the return on   organization’s data and to leverage their existing technology and investments. It all starts with direct connections to Amazon data sources including Amazon AuroraAmazon Athena and Amazon EMR. Tableau is the natural choice of platform for analyzing the data stored in Amazon’s data sources. Beyond this, Tableau provides the depth and breadth of capabilities to ensure that data can be confidently deployed across the entire enterprise. Tableau Server runs seamlessly in Amazon’s cloud infrastructure so organizations that prefer to deploy applications on Amazon Web Services have a complete solution offering from Tableau.  Since Tableau provides various visualizations and customizations, the level of analysis can be increased with small multiples, view filtering, mark cards, and Tableau charts. Tableau is software that can help users explore and understand their data by creating interactive visualizations.
