At the State Library of Victoria we run Primo in house on an Oracle back end. Tableau already has connectors to Oracle so it is a simple matter to run it against the Primo back end Oracle database. As the BIRT reports are so appalling I have been running Tableau for at least 3 years particularly against Search Stats, Search Strings and Click events. It is excellent for tracking changes when the UI is changed. Would not consider using the reporting mechanism Ex Libris provides. They do not seem to understand what is useful to the end user or even anyone providing decent reports.
