D23 Cloud-Ready, Stress-Free: Why TabMove is the Fastest Way to Migrate Tableau
Description
TL;DR:
Migrating from Tableau Server to Tableau Cloud is complex, risky, and costly when done manually. TabMove automates up to 90% of migration tasks - cutting timelines, reducing errors, and lowering costs. With Dub Dub Data and Biztory, organisations in Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore gain a proven three-step migration model, local expertise, and fixed-price peace of mind.
Summary
Migrating to Tableau Cloud doesn’t have to mean chaos, broken permissions, or endless IT tickets. In this episode of unDUBBED, Fi and Sarah sit down with Timothy Vermeiren - Tableau Iron Viz Champion, consultant, and architect at Biztory - to unpack how TabMove is changing the game for organisations moving from Tableau Server to Tableau Cloud.
From automating 90% of the migration work (think users, permissions, schedules, favourites) to cutting timelines from weeks down to days (for smaller migrations), TabMove takes the pain out of replatforming. Timothy shares the biggest blockers companies face, why legacy server setups are holding teams back, and real-world stories like Veygo’s lightning-fast migration.
You’ll also hear how Dub Dub Data and Biztory have partnered to bring TabMove to APAC - giving Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore customers local expertise with global best practice.
If you’ve ever dreaded the thought of “not another migration,” this episode is your roadmap to a faster, cleaner, and smarter move to the cloud.
