What happens if Tableau changes their API after we go live?
Our SRE team monitors Tableau change announcements and rolls compatibility updates inside our maintenance retainer. If a breaking change ships, we own the migration; you don't pay extra to stay current and you don't field calls from the vendor.
How is data security handled?
Tokens and credentials live inside a hardware-backed secret store with audit logging on every read. The Tableau adapter runs on isolated workers with deny-by-default egress, and every message is replayable from a tamper-evident journal for downstream forensics.
Can the Tableau adapter handle our custom fields?
On first connection the adapter discovers every custom field, custom object and custom workflow inside your Tableau tenant and presents them as first-class mappings — you decide which to mirror, which to ignore, and which to enrich.
How long does the Tableau integration take to ship?
Our standard window is thirty days from signed scope to live Tableau adapter in production, plus a one-week monitored stabilization phase. For Oakland, California, that includes a sandbox loop with your team, parallel-run reconciliation, and a documented runbook handed to your operations lead.
Does it work with our existing Tableau licenses?
Yes — the adapter rides on top of your existing Tableau subscription. We use service-principal or OAuth M2M credentials so the integration never burns a named-user seat and never pushes you into a higher tier.
Will this break our existing reports?
No. The adapter writes through a versioned schema layer with full lineage. Existing reports, BI extracts and Excel pivot-tables keep working unchanged while new fields and new objects are added behind the scenes for the Tableau surface.
