Tableau Cloud Migration Technical Readiness Assessment

product_byline

product_detail_description

The Tableau Cloud Migration Technical Readiness Assessment quickly assesses how you use Tableau Server (21.3+) and identifies whether there are any use cases that need to be adapted before migrating to Tableau Cloud. The assessment takes just minutes to complete and provides a data-driven approach to understanding your technical readiness for migrating to Tableau Cloud. If your Tableau Server has more than 1,000 users, there may be technical considerations that are not visible in this dashboard. Work with your account team or an experienced migration partner to determine how best to validate your technical readiness for migration to Tableau Cloud.

>> When you open this workbook, if you are prompted to connect to custom SQL, click "Yes". This workbook supports Tableau Server versions 21.3 and later. As a best practice, we recommend deleting any old content before running this assessment or migrating to Tableau Cloud. After you perform this assessment, to learn more about migrating to Tableau Cloud, see the Migrate to Tableau Cloud home page. To use this, you'll need a trial or licence of Tableau Desktop. Get started here.
