About the challenge

Step into the next era of analytics. This is your opportunity to pioneer innovative solutions and tackle real-world business problems using the full power of Tableau. We encourage you to utilize:

  • Tableau Next: Leverage cutting-edge capabilities built directly on the secure Salesforce platform, designed to deliver actionable insights everywhere work happens. Note that access to specific Salesforce orgs is required.
  • Tableau Cloud: Harness the full extensibility of the Tableau Developer Platform and its robust APIs to extend, strengthen, or integrate existing Tableau functionality.

Your mission: build something groundbreaking with Tableau. Push the limits by connecting it with Salesforce solutions—with free access to Slack, Agentforce, and Data 360. Prove your skills, showcase your imagination, and win your share of $45,000.

The platform is yours—it's time to build the future of data.
