Retiring a Global Tableau Estate Ahead of a License Renewal
A multinational industrial group runs more than 1,200 Tableau dashboards across eleven business units, with an enterprise license renewal due in two quarters.
Run on Setu · Legacy-to-Modern BI
The challenge
Nobody can say which dashboards are actually used, so the renewal is priced against the full estate rather than the live one.
Rebuilding dashboards by hand on the target platform was quoted at eighteen months of contractor time.
Business units refuse to cut over without proof that the migrated numbers match what they report today.
How Setu solves it
Estate Inventory
Setu catalogues every dashboard, its data sources, its refresh pattern, and its real usage over the last twelve months.
Usage-Based Triage
Dormant and duplicate dashboards are separated from the live estate, so migration scope is set on evidence rather than on the license count.
Automated Conversion
The migration engine converts the live estate to the target platform, handling calculated fields, joins, and layout automatically.
Parity Validation
Every migrated dashboard is executed against the source and compared value by value, producing a signed parity report per business unit.
AI/BI Activation
Fabric data agents and conversational analytics are stood up on the destination so the migration lands on a more capable platform, not an equivalent one.
The outcome
- migrated in 6 weeks against an eighteen-month manual estimate
- 0+ dashboardsmigrated in 6 weeks against an eighteen-month manual estimate
- annual license spend recovered by retiring the source estate
- $0Mannual license spend recovered by retiring the source estate
1,200+ dashboards migrated in 6 weeks against an eighteen-month manual estimate.
$4.2M in annual license spend recovered by retiring the source estate at renewal.
Business units signed off on parity evidence rather than on assurances.
