SEATTLE, Jan. 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --Tableau Software
(NYSE: DATA) today announced that Kelly Services® (NASDAQ: KELYA,
KELYB) has chosen Tableau to help its KellyOCG® clients view and
understand their data. KellyOCG is the Outsourcing and Consulting
Group of Kelly Services. With Tableau, KellyOCG has moved
beyond simply generating reports to creating actionable insights
that inform the workforce strategies of their clients. Through the
Alpha Release of their Talent Supply Chain Analytics portal,
KellyOCG says its front line operations managers are saving a
minimum of 10 hours per week on reporting and can now use that time
to share insights, benchmarks and best practices with clients.

Prior to Tableau, KellyOCG either worked with the analytics
capabilities of individuals VMS and ATS software, or created charts
and graphs in Excel which were then pasted into PowerPoint decks
for presentation. "The process was manually intensive, error prone
and not scalable at the business unit or enterprise level," said
John Healy, Vice President and
Managing Director, Global Talent Supply Chain at Kelly Services.
The company's customer advisory boards wanted to change the
reporting process to create more insights, providing more value for
its clients.
Tableau was selected due to its ease of use for non-IT
resources, its user interface and presentation layer, and its
ability to interact visually with its data. "The learning
curve with Tableau is quick and the ability to see a picture change
dynamically as we alter the variables is very powerful," said
Dan Clinton, Senior Director,
Business Intelligence and Data Analytics.
"The complex multi-dimensional analytics and statistical
analysis may have intimidated our operational teams and clients in
the past, but now they're analyzed and visualized in a way that's
consumable and forward-looking," Healy added.
He says Tableau's impact is measured by the value and insight
that KellyOCG can deliver to customers and suppliers using data to
make better, faster decisions. The goal is to deepen relationships
by bringing insights that no one else can provide.
