Salesforce unit Tableau to exit former headquarters in Seattle
Tableau will give up its former headquarters in north Seattle, abandoning more than 110,000 square feet of offices by Lake Union.
The data analytics software firm owned by San Francisco-based Salesforce will not renew its lease at the Fremont Lake Union Center at 837 North 34th Street, in Fremont, the Seattle Times reported. The lease expires at the end of this month.
Salesforce, a cloud-based sales software company, bought Tableau in 2019 for $15.7 billion. Ryan Aytay, CEO for Tableau, is based in San Francisco.
More than a year ago, the firm said that it would get rid of Tableau-occupied offices as it met a broad tech industry slump by laying off thousands of workers.
Despite a plan to shed more than 450,000 square feet of office leases around Seattle, Salesforce will retain a beachhead in the Puget Sound market, according to the Times.
The firm will keep its offices at 929 Tower in Bellevue, which it considers a second hub outside San Francisco, according to the Times. Tableau workers will stay tied to local Salesforce offices.
“Tableau is a critical and thriving part of our business and we remain fully committed to our Seattle-based home and employees,” an unidentified Salesforce spokesperson told the Times in an email. “Employees have access to a vibrant office environment at our Data1, Plaza and Bellevue offices where they can connect with colleagues and customers in the area.”
The Plaza office includes a small location in Fremont that Salesforce renewed this year.
Salesforce’s decision to exit Tableau’s former headquarters at the 112,500-square-foot building came up in an earnings call this month by landlord Kilroy Realty, based in Los Angeles. The three-building campus contains 423,800 square feet.
“As a reminder, we continue to anticipate three large move-outs totaling 350,000 square feet in the back half of the year,” Elliott Trencher, chief financial officer for Kilroy, told analysts on the call. “Salesforce in Seattle will leave in the third quarter and Capital One and Microsoft in the Bay Area are expected to move out in the fourth quarter.”
Trencher said interest has picked up for the Fremont building and that Kilroy expects to lease it before long. Several unidentified real estate insiders believe Nvidia, a computer chip powerhouse based in Silicon Valley, will take at least a floor in the building.
A Fremont lease could help a softening Seattle office submarket from getting worse, according to the Times.
Office vacancy in the South Lake Union submarket, which includes Fremont, has climbed by more than 2 percent since last year to 12.1 percent, according to Colliers. Two years ago, the measure of empty offices was less than 5 percent.

10 Best Tech Strategies for Small Businesses in the U.S. to Boost Efficiency
Share

Share
Upgrading efficiency is a top priority for small businesses in the U.S., and software technology gives a wealth of solutions to achieve this goal. From cloud computing and automation to cybersecurity and mobile solutions, the right tech strategies can help small businesses streamline operations, reduce costs, and improve overall performance. By implementing these ten tech strategies, small businesses can position themselves for success in a competitive market, ensuring they operate at peak efficiency.
One of the most effective ways to enhance efficiency in a small business is by adopting cloud computing solutions. Cloud-based tools allow businesses to store data, run applications, and access information from anywhere with an internet connection. This eliminates the need for expensive on-site servers and IT infrastructure, which can be costly to maintain.
Additionally, cloud computing enables real-time collaboration among team members, regardless of their location. Whether it’s sharing files, working on documents simultaneously, or managing projects, cloud-based tools like Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 make it easier for teams to work together efficiently.
Automate Routine Tasks with Software:
Automation is a game-changer for small businesses looking to boost efficiency. By automating routine tasks, such as invoicing, payroll, and email marketing, businesses can save time and reduce the risk of human error. This frees up valuable time for employees to focus on more strategic activities that drive growth.
Tools like QuickBooks for accounting, Zapier for workflow automation, and Mailchimp for email marketing can significantly reduce the time spent on administrative tasks. With automation, small businesses can operate more smoothly and efficiently, without the need for additional staff.
Use Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Software:
Customer relationship management (CRM) software is essential for small businesses that want to streamline their sales and customer service processes. A good CRM system allows businesses to track customer interactions, manage leads, and monitor sales pipelines in one central location.
By using CRM software, small businesses can ensure that no customer inquiry or lead falls through the cracks. This not only improves customer satisfaction but also boosts sales efficiency by helping sales teams prioritize their efforts. Popular CRM solutions like Salesforce, HubSpot, and Zoho CRM are tailored to meet the needs of small businesses.
Leverage Project Management Tools:
Managing multiple projects and tasks can be challenging, especially for small businesses with limited resources. Project management tools can help businesses stay organized, track progress, and meet deadlines more effectively.
Tools like Trello, Asana, and Monday.com offer intuitive interfaces that allow teams to create task lists, assign responsibilities, and monitor project timelines. With these tools, small businesses can ensure that projects are completed on time and within budget, leading to increased efficiency and productivity.
Invest in Cybersecurity Solutions:
In an increasingly digital world, cybersecurity is a critical concern for small businesses. A data breach or cyberattack can have devastating consequences, including financial losses and damage to reputation. Investing in cybersecurity solutions is essential for protecting sensitive information and maintaining operational efficiency.
Small businesses should consider implementing firewalls, antivirus software, and encryption tools to safeguard their data. Additionally, employee training on cybersecurity best practices can help prevent phishing attacks and other common threats. By prioritizing cybersecurity, small businesses can avoid costly disruptions and maintain smooth operations.
Utilize Business Intelligence (BI) Tools:
Business intelligence (BI) tools provide small businesses with valuable insights into their operations, customers, and market trends. By analyzing data, BI tools help businesses make informed decisions that drive efficiency and growth.
With BI tools like Tableau, Power BI, and Google Data Studio, small businesses can visualize data, identify patterns, and track key performance indicators (KPIs). This enables them to make data-driven decisions that optimize processes, reduce waste, and improve overall efficiency.
Adopt Mobile Solutions:
As the workforce becomes increasingly mobile, small businesses must adapt by adopting mobile solutions. Mobile apps and tools allow employees to work remotely, access company data, and communicate with team members while on the go.
By enabling remote work, mobile solutions can increase employee productivity and flexibility. Tools like Slack for team communication, Zoom for video conferencing, and Google Drive for file sharing make it easier for employees to stay connected and productive, no matter where they are.
Optimize Your Website and Digital Presence:
In today’s digital age, a strong online presence is crucial for small businesses. An optimized website not only attracts more visitors but also ensures a smooth user experience, leading to higher conversion rates.
Small businesses should invest in a responsive website design that works seamlessly on all devices, including smartphones and tablets. Additionally, optimizing the website for search engines (SEO) can help drive organic traffic and increase visibility. Tools like Google Analytics and SEMrush can provide valuable insights into website performance and help identify areas for improvement.
Embrace E-Commerce and Online Payment Solutions:
For small businesses that sell products or services, embracing e-commerce and online payment solutions can significantly boost efficiency. An e-commerce platform allows businesses to reach a wider audience, streamline the sales process, and reduce the overhead costs associated with physical storefronts.
Platforms like Shopify, WooCommerce, and BigCommerce offer easy-to-use solutions for setting up an online store. Additionally, integrating online payment options like PayPal, Stripe, or Square makes it easier for customers to make purchases, leading to higher sales and increased efficiency.
Foster a Culture of Continuous Improvement:
Finally, one of the most effective tech strategies for boosting efficiency in a small business is fostering a culture of continuous improvement. Encourage employees to embrace new technologies, learn new skills, and seek out ways to optimize processes.
Regularly reviewing and updating your tech stack is essential for staying competitive and efficient. By keeping up with the latest technological advancements, small businesses can ensure they are using the best tools and strategies to maximize productivity.
Conclusion:
Since the year 2024, small businesses in the U.S. face unique challenges in staying competitive. While larger corporations have vast resources, small businesses must be more resourceful to maximize efficiency. Thankfully, technology offers a range of tools and strategies that can help small businesses streamline their operations, reduce costs, and increase productivity. In this article, we’ll explore ten of the best tech strategies for small businesses in the U.S. to boost efficiency.

Salesforce unit Tableau to exit former headquarters in Seattle
Tableau will give up its former headquarters in north Seattle, abandoning more than 110,000 square feet of offices by Lake Union.
The data analytics software firm owned by San Francisco-based Salesforce will not renew its lease at the Fremont Lake Union Center at 837 North 34th Street, in Fremont, the Seattle Times reported. The lease expires at the end of this month.
Salesforce, a cloud-based sales software company, bought Tableau in 2019 for $15.7 billion. Ryan Aytay, CEO for Tableau, is based in San Francisco.
More than a year ago, the firm said that it would get rid of Tableau-occupied offices as it met a broad tech industry slump by laying off thousands of workers.
Despite a plan to shed more than 450,000 square feet of office leases around Seattle, Salesforce will retain a beachhead in the Puget Sound market, according to the Times.
The firm will keep its offices at 929 Tower in Bellevue, which it considers a second hub outside San Francisco, according to the Times. Tableau workers will stay tied to local Salesforce offices.
“Tableau is a critical and thriving part of our business and we remain fully committed to our Seattle-based home and employees,” an unidentified Salesforce spokesperson told the Times in an email. “Employees have access to a vibrant office environment at our Data1, Plaza and Bellevue offices where they can connect with colleagues and customers in the area.”
The Plaza office includes a small location in Fremont that Salesforce renewed this year.
Salesforce’s decision to exit Tableau’s former headquarters at the 112,500-square-foot building came up in an earnings call this month by landlord Kilroy Realty, based in Los Angeles. The three-building campus contains 423,800 square feet.
“As a reminder, we continue to anticipate three large move-outs totaling 350,000 square feet in the back half of the year,” Elliott Trencher, chief financial officer for Kilroy, told analysts on the call. “Salesforce in Seattle will leave in the third quarter and Capital One and Microsoft in the Bay Area are expected to move out in the fourth quarter.”
Trencher said interest has picked up for the Fremont building and that Kilroy expects to lease it before long. Several unidentified real estate insiders believe Nvidia, a computer chip powerhouse based in Silicon Valley, will take at least a floor in the building.
A Fremont lease could help a softening Seattle office submarket from getting worse, according to the Times.
Office vacancy in the South Lake Union submarket, which includes Fremont, has climbed by more than 2 percent since last year to 12.1 percent, according to Colliers. Two years ago, the measure of empty offices was less than 5 percent.

The Coolest Business Analytics Companies Of The 2023 Big Data 100
Part 1 of CRN’s Big Data 100 takes a look at the vendors solution providers should know in the data analytics and business intelligence space.
Analytical Approach
It’s no surprise that in diagrams and visual representations of big data IT systems, data analytics and visualization software are usually at the top of the big data “technology stack.” They are the software tools that business analysts and information workers use to gain understanding and insight from the exponentially growing volumes of data businesses are generating today and to share that knowledge throughout an organization.
Worldwide sales of business intelligence software are expected to reach $25.73 billion this year, up 8.6 percent from $23.70 billion in 2022, and reach $34.16 billion by 2028, according to market research firm Statista.
“Companies’ needs for data insights, customer analyses, and all kinds of business processes have strongly increased due to digitization and data that is collected online. This development drives the demand for enterprise software, especially business intelligence software,” said a Statista report.
As part of the CRN 2023 Big Data 100, we’ve put together the following list of business analytics software companies—from well-established vendors to those in startup mode—that solution providers should be familiar with.
These vendors offer everything from self-service reporting and data visualization tools for nontechnical managers and business users to high-performance business analysis software needed by data analysts to tackle the most complex business intelligence tasks.
This week CRN is running the Big Data 100 list in a series of slide shows, organized by technology category, spotlighting vendors of business analytics software, database systems, data warehouse and data lake systems, data management and integration software, data observability tools, and big data systems and cloud platforms.
Some vendors market big data products that span multiple technology categories. They appear in the slideshow for the technology segment in which they are most prominent.

To aid organizations searching for the best solution to support data-driven decision-making, Info-Tech has identified the top enterprise business intelligence and analytics software providers of the year based on verified survey data collected from 811 end-user reviews on SoftwareReviews. These top providers have received high scores on the firm’s Emotional Footprint.
The Net Emotional Footprint (NEF) of each software provider is a result of aggregated emotional response ratings across the areas of service, negotiation, product impact, conflict resolution, strategy, and innovation. The NEF is a powerful indicator of overall user sentiment toward the provider and its product from the software user’s point of view.
The 2024 Business Intelligence and Analytics Software Champions in the Enterprise market are as follows:
Microsoft Power BI , 93 NEF, ranked high for being reliable. Tableau , 88 NEF, ranked high for having integrity. Logi Symphony , 96 NEF, ranked high for continually improving.
