Tableau in the AWS Cloud for the Data Lab of the BMWSB

Federal Ministry for Housing, Urban Development and Building (BMWSB)

Our client is the Federal Ministry for Housing, Urban Development and Building (BMWSB), which, together with M2, has built its own Tableau infrastructure in the AWS Cloud. The goal was to manage dashboards flexibly internally and to make them publicly available — all on a secure, independent platform. M2 provided support throughout the entire process, from the initial concept and migration to the ongoing operation of the environment.
