Visualizing the Invisible: Bringing Mainframe Data to Life with Tableau

(IV)

Stream: Mainframe Skills & Learning
Time: 11:15 - 12:00


Presentation

Mainframe systems power critical operations across industries, generating vast amounts of data every second. But raw data alone isn’t enough, it needs to be translated into insights that people can understand and act on. That’s where data visualization comes in. This session explores how tools like Python and Tableau can be used to transform complex, enterprise-level datasets into clear, interactive dashboards. From system metrics to weather patterns, the focus is on turning technical information into visual stories that reveal trends, anomalies, and opportunities , even for non-technical audiences. Attendees will gain practical ideas on structuring data pipelines, designing effective visuals, and integrating modern analytics with traditional systems. Whether working in IT, analytics, or decision-making roles, participants will leave with new strategies for making mainframe data more meaningful, usable, and impactful.
