The Challenge

This technology-driven testing company serves both public and private sector clients, with growing demand for secure, remote exam administration. Salesforce served as the system of record for sales and service, but the organization lacked a fast, secure way to connect Salesforce data to Tableau for enterprise-wide analytics. They required full visibility into the data pipeline, control over sensitive records, and embedded Tableau dashboards that would keep teams inside the Salesforce UI, all without relying on third-party SaaS tools.

The CapStorm Solution

CapStorm deployed CS:Enable, powered by CopyStorm, to replicate Salesforce data and metadata into the company’s self-hosted SQL Server environment. This setup enabled near real-time analytics, complete control over the data lifecycle, and seamless Tableau visualization embedded directly into Salesforce.
