Wild Strait becomes a Tableau OEM Partner

Wild Strait becomes a Tableau OEM Partner

Wellington-based software performance company Wild Strait has signed an OEM partner agreement with global data visualisation leader Tableau Software. The agreement allows Wild Strait to resell Tableau software that is integrated within its Wild Strait Performance Intelligence performance testing product.

Wild Strait Performance Intelligence is a world-first software performance product that substantially reduces the performance test cycle time and associated costs with performance testing. The product directly integrates Tableau’s data visualisation functionality to enable rich ‘business intelligence’ style analysis and problem diagnosis of performance test results data.

Tableau was selected due to its ease of use and its ability to handle the enormous volumes of complex test results data associated with performance testing. Wild Strait and parent consultancy Equinox IT have considerable experience with using Tableau to analyse performance test results and have found that the product and approach significantly increases the chances of identifying hard-to-find software performance issues in less time.

Wild Strait Director and product architect Richard Leeke was one of Tableau’s seven inaugural Zen Masters, recognising his Tableau expertise and community contribution.

Commenting on the OEM agreement with Wild Strait, Tableau Country Manager for Australia and New Zealand Nigel Mendonca stated “Equinox IT have always been pioneers in their use of Tableau for data visualisation in the performance testing area. It is fantastic to see them do it again with Wild Strait and Wild Strait Performance Intelligence, integrating the magic of Tableau data visualisation directly into their performance testing product. We are delighted to have Wild Strait as an OEM partner and we wish them absolute success with their Wild Strait Performance Intelligence product.”

In November last year Wild Strait appointed Shane Ross to their General Manager position. Regarding the Tableau OEM partnership Ross said “Wild Strait Performance Intelligence has been developed to help organisations carry out complex and often time consuming performance testing activities in an environment where software is increasingly developed in short-cycle Agile and DevOps style timeframes. Visualising performance test results for rapid and complete performance issue diagnosis is a key differentiator for our product. As such, the OEM partnership with Tableau is a key alliance for us.”

Wild Strait and the Wild Strait Performance Intelligence product were launched in September last year by Equinox IT at a Wellington event keynoted by Xero’s Rod Drury.
