Customers of the analytics vendor Tableau who arrived at the Dreamforce conference this week wanting to learn about how life may change as a result of its acquisition by Salesforce in a $15.7 billion all-stock deal in May will probably be leaving disappointed.
Salesforce chairman and co-CEO Marc Benioff kicked off the week by welcoming the Tableau CEO Adam Selipsky to the Ohana – the Hawaiian word for welcome which Salesforce uses to refer to its company community – on stage during his keynote on Tuesday.
It was there that Benioff referred to the software as "an amazing product, incredible business intelligence, incredible analytics, incredible visualisation."
