B2B contact data platform for finding phone numbers and emails of prospects. Paris France, acquired by Cognism, provides LinkedIn-integrated prospecting data for European SDR teams.
Kaspr is a B2B contact data platform that helps sales development representatives find phone numbers and email addresses of business prospects, with tight LinkedIn integration that allows data extraction directly from LinkedIn profiles. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in Paris, France, Kaspr was acquired by Cognism to strengthen the combined entity's European contact data coverage and distribution through complementary product channels. Kaspr targets SDR teams seeking fast, LinkedIn-native access to prospect contact data.\n\nKaspr's Chrome extension integrates directly into LinkedIn, allowing SDRs to reveal contact details for prospect profiles with a single click without leaving the LinkedIn interface. The platform's contact data covers mobile phone numbers and professional email addresses for European and international business contacts. Contacts can be pushed to CRM systems and sales engagement platforms directly from the extension, reducing manual data entry in the prospecting workflow.\n\nFollowing its acquisition by Cognism, Kaspr operates as a complementary product in the Cognism portfolio — with Kaspr serving individual SDRs and smaller teams seeking affordable LinkedIn-native prospecting tools, while Cognism's enterprise platform serves larger revenue teams with bulk data exports, intent signals, and GDPR compliance infrastructure. The acquisition strengthened Cognism's coverage of French and broader European prospect data while adding a LinkedIn-integrated product channel to its portfolio.
2025: Tableau Next with AI agents GA with Tableau+ SKU; Concierge and Data pro GA June 2025; Leader in 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant Analytics and BI (12th consecutive year)
Tableau is a business intelligence and data visualization platform founded in 2003 by Christian Chabot, Pat Hanrahan, and Chris Stolte as a spin-out from a Stanford computer science research project focused on making database queries accessible to non-programmers through visual interfaces. The company's founding technology — VizQL (Visual Query Language) — translates drag-and-drop visual interactions into database queries, enabling analysts to explore data without writing SQL. Tableau went public in 2013 and was acquired by Salesforce in 2019 for $15.7 billion in one of the largest enterprise software acquisitions at that time, becoming the analytics foundation of Salesforce's Einstein intelligence strategy.\n\nTableau's platform spans desktop, server, and cloud deployment options and supports connectivity to hundreds of data sources including cloud warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift), databases, flat files, and SaaS applications. The product family includes Tableau Desktop for individual analysts, Tableau Server for on-premise enterprise deployments, Tableau Cloud for SaaS delivery, and Tableau Public for free public data visualization publishing. In 2025, Salesforce launched Tableau Next, a reimagined platform embedding AI agents — including Concierge for natural language analytics and Data Pro for automated insight generation — as first-class features available in general availability.\n\nTableau has been positioned as a Leader in Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Analytics and Business Intelligence Platforms continuously since the quadrant's inception, and it retains that designation in the 2024 report. Salesforce's integration has expanded Tableau's addressable market by connecting it directly to the CRM data that hundreds of thousands of Salesforce customers manage, while also introducing organizational complexity as Tableau's product roadmap increasingly merges with Salesforce's broader Einstein and Data Cloud strategy.
