Learn how Dundas uses DataMarket to bring in reliable, trusted public domain and premium commercial data into Dashboard without a lot of development time and costs. This is only possible because DataMarket takes a standardized approach, with a REST-based model for consuming services and data views that are offered in tabular form or as OData feeds. Without having a standard in place, Dundas would be forced to write all kinds of web services and retrieval mechanisms to get data from the right places and put it into the proper format for processing.

Ellie Fields, Director of Product Marketing at Tableau Software, talks about using DataMarket, to tame the Wild West of data. She adds, "Now, when customers use Tableau, they see DataMarket as a data source option. They simply provide their DataMarket account key for authentication and then find the data sets they want to use. Customers can import the data into Tableau and combine that information with their own corporate data for deep business intelligence."
