Overview
Tableau licenses can be purchased through IAR for use with OSU institutional data. To purchase a Tableau license:
- Unit/department submits request to purchase a Tableau license to IAR
- Reviewed and approved by the Service Owner or designee in IAR
- Reviewed and approved by the budget authority for the index the purchase is on
- IAR initiates purchase; uses the unit’s index to pay Tableau Creator License
- Once purchase and set up are complete, IAR sends key to designated user and adds them to the OSU Tableau channel in Teams.
Cost
A Tableau Creator License costs $630 a year and is renewed in November. Licenses are renewed unless we received a request to cancel the license.
Tableau licenses purchased outside of November are charged a pro-rated amount for the remained of the current license period. They are then charged the full amount starting in the November after they are purchased. For example, a unit purchasing a license in May will be charged for the remaining 6 months in the current license period. The November after they purchase the license they would then pay the full $630 for the next license period.
Audience
Non-Student OSU Employees working with OSU's institutional data for university operations and internal assessment.
