A Department of Defense organization needed a more agile way to access and understand their data. Their environment was complex. It was layered with legacy systems, ERP tools, and strict security requirements. Bringing Tableau into this mix would offer teams clearer insights, faster reporting, and better decision-making support. But to realize that vision, they needed a thoughtful integration plan, a seamless rollout, and the confidence that their users would be set up for long-term success.

JMA’S Approach
We partnered closely with the organization to deliver a comprehensive Tableau integration that aligned with their mission, their data landscape, and their people. Every step (from configuration to user training) was driven by experience and precision.
End-to-End Implementation
Our team led a secure installation of Tableau, carefully tuning it to meet performance goals, security compliance standards (including STIG requirements), and operational needs. This included troubleshooting potential issues before they could impact users and ensuring that the system was fully optimized across development and production environments.
Secure, Scalable Architecture
Security was built into every layer of the project. We ensured the integration not only met but exceeded DoD standards. We built a foundation that allows the organization to scale its Tableau usage into new commands like NAVAIR, NAVSEA, and NRL.
Connected, Intelligent Reporting
Tableau was configured to pull from multiple data sources, allowing users to create dynamic dashboards and reports tailored to their specific needs. These analytics are designed to support real-time insight and action.
Training and Knowledge Transfer
We equipped internal teams with the skills and certifications to fully own and grow their Tableau capabilities. Staff walked away with certifications, increased confidence, and the ability to create and expand visualizations without outside support.
Results and Impact
Smarter, Faster Decisions
With Tableau up and running, teams across the organization now have immediate access to visual insights. Reporting is no longer bottlenecked. It’s intuitive, interactive, and tailored to what users need.
Greater Efficiency
By replacing their previous reporting tools, the organization has simplified workflows, reduced manual processes, and saved time across every single department.
Empowered Teams
Users now have the tools and the knowledge to explore data, spot patterns, and make informed decisions independently.
Built for the Future
From day one, JMA built this integration with scale in mind. The organization is well-positioned to expand Tableau’s capabilities into additional environments and bring data access to even more users.
