Salesforce has officially launched Tableau Next – a completely new version of the Tableau analytics platform. This is more than just an upgrade; it’s a full transformation built to thrive in the modern data landscape, where agentic AI plays a central role.

Tableau Next is built from the ground up on the Salesforce platform, deeply integrated with Agentforce – Salesforce’s latest AI technology – as well as Hyperforce and Data Cloud.

The goal: empower businesses to not only see data, but to act on it instantly.

What’s New in Tableau Next?

1. AI-Powered Intelligence at Its Core

Tableau Next goes beyond data visualization – it helps users make smarter, faster decisions with three built-in AI analytics skills:

Data Pro: Prepares, models, and visualizes data quickly and efficiently.
Concierge: Responds to natural language questions, explains root causes, and suggests actions.
Inspector: Monitors data in real time, detects trends and anomalies instantly.

2. Fully Deployed on Salesforce Cloud

No longer a standalone tool, Tableau Next has been redesigned to run seamlessly on the Salesforce platform – boosting security, scalability, and data processing performance.

3. Built for Collaboration and Action

Tableau Next is designed to:

Enable more effective teamwork
Support flexible data reuse
Integrate deeply with business workflows and AI agents

This means data is no longer just numbers – it becomes a real tool for business execution.

More Powerful and Flexible Data Connectivity Than Ever

Tableau Next leverages the strength of Data Cloud, supporting connections to a wide range of popular platforms such as:

Snowflake
Amazon Redshift
Google BigQuery
Databricks
PostgreSQL, MySQL, and more

Users can also easily upload Excel and CSV files, and connect to SQL Server via AWS in upcoming updates.

Built on the Salesforce Platform – Unlocking Massive Value

Tableau Next merges the best of traditional Tableau with the modern power of Salesforce, delivering a seamless end-to-end analytics experience:

From raw data
To deep insights
To immediate action

Plus, with an open API-first platform, businesses can:

Scale analytics with ease
Integrate with other systems
Access and act on data from anywhere

Will Existing Tableau Users Be Affected?

The answer is: No!
Salesforce has reaffirmed its commitment to existing products such as Tableau Cloud, Tableau Server, and CRM Analytics (CRMA) – all of which will continue to be developed and supported.

Additionally, Tableau Next expands integration capabilities with enterprise-owned systems like data lakehouses and semantic layers, and will soon support semantic layer translation from other platforms into Tableau Next.

Final Thoughts

Tableau Next isn’t just an update – it’s a bold new vision for how businesses approach and harness data.

With smarter AI, deeper integration, and a completely redesigned user experience, this is the leap forward every modern business should be paying attention to.
