Deployment Audit questions.

What do you need from us?

Read-only access to your environment, agreed in advance, and some time with your platform team and key stakeholders for short interviews. We confirm exactly what is needed during the scoping call.

How is a Deployment Audit different from a standard health check?

It is a comprehensive deployment audit that combines expert diagnostics with measurements from the environment. The emphasis is on well-supported findings, architectural context and recommendations that can be prioritised, not a questionnaire score.

Can you review Tableau Server and Tableau Cloud together?

Yes. An audit can be scoped around Server, Cloud or a combined estate, including environments preparing for a transition. The precise scope depends on the platforms and access available.

What is included in the deliverable?

The agreed report typically covers an executive summary, diagnostic findings, supporting observations and a prioritised improvement plan, followed by an expert walkthrough. Exact scope and depth are confirmed before the engagement.

Does every recommendation have a financial ROI?

We consider potential business value and ROI where there is enough information to estimate them responsibly. Not every improvement has a defensible monetary payback; impact and effort are considered even when ROI cannot be quantified.

What is an Enterprise Audit?

A broader Deployment Audit for complex estates: multi-node Tableau Server deployments, several sites, or Server and Cloud together. The scope is agreed with you in the scoping call.

Does the audit change anything in our environment?

No. We only read. Your team decides which recommendations to act on, and when.

We already use VizBolt Intelligence. Is the audit still useful?

Yes. Intelligence watches day to day and warns you early. The audit goes deeper at a point in time, including solution design and governance, and gives you a prioritised improvement plan.

How is the engagement priced?

Pricing is scoped to the size and complexity of the Tableau environment and the depth of review required. You receive a defined proposal before work begins.
