Palette Chargeback Reports CPU Usage and Cost for Each Workbook and User.

Palette Chargeback ensures that you know your real CPU cost and usage by individual users categorized workbook, project or site. Get your users understanding their real resource demands so you can grow your server capacity collaboratively. With a solid chargeback model a service owner can easily report the usage of a system or services back to senior management, with an associated value.

PROBLEM STATEMENT

In enterprise shared services environments, knowing your users’ true CPU cost is essential. Tableau server admins have a hard time understanding the true CPU demands that the individual Interactors bear on the shared server, so they can't fairly allocate costs from objective historical data across different business groups during regular CPU capacity upgrades.

Pain Points

+ No cost visibility. IT and business are fighting over the “numbers” of what it truly costs to run Tableau.

+ IT lacks the skills to report core usage and cost.

+ IT lacks the skills to fund core upgrades.

PROJECT GOAL

+ Let IT Instantly report CPU cost by user, workbook, project or site.

+ Let the user know their true Tableau usage with real CPU data.

+ Users should be able to socialize their data with presentation-ready Tableau reports.

+ Let Tableau Managers and different organizations confidently defend their chargeback with real data.
