Managed Services Models
When Managed Services
Deliver Maximum Value
Managed Services are particularly valuable when analytical platforms are business-critical, but internal IT teams lack the specialised bandwidth or technical capacity for continuous platform upkeep.
This model is ideal when upgrades and security patches are routinely delayed, cloud migration strategies cannot be mapped one-to-one onto Tableau or Alteryx, rapid response times and strict Service Level Agreements (SLAs) are required, or platform operations are deliberately outsourced to a specialised partner.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do Managed Services for Tableau and Alteryx include?
The Information Lab provides professional operation, maintenance and support for Tableau Server and Alteryx Server environments. Our scope ranges from regular version upgrades, system patches and health checks to daily user administration and full infrastructure hosting within a dedicated AWS environment. Our objective is guaranteeing smooth platform performance while measurably reducing internal IT workloads.
When does outsourcing platform operations make commercial sense?
Outsourcing is highly cost-effective when Tableau or Alteryx are business-critical, but internal IT teams lack the time or specialised expertise required for ongoing maintenance. Furthermore, when pure SaaS cloud alternatives (such as Tableau Cloud) are ruled out due to strict data sovereignty or compliance regulations, a dedicated managed model provides maximum security alongside total operational relief.
Which service models are available?
Our service tiers scale flexibly according to your existing IT infrastructure and desired level of support. We offer three primary configurations: Backend Administration (focused strictly on IT maintenance), Combined Frontend & Backend Administration (including user and project management) and Full Service. Under the Full Service model, technical liability is fully transferred to The Information Lab, which hosts and maintains the platform within its secure cloud environment.
How are Managed Services priced?
Our pricing framework is transparent and predictable. Costs depend directly on the structural complexity of your environment (e.g. cluster setups, proxy configurations) and your chosen service level. Prior to contract initiation, we conduct a joint technical health check to establish your exact requirements and define a commercially scalable pricing structure.
How is data security guaranteed in business-critical environments?
Information security is our highest priority when managing business data architectures. As an ISO 27001certified partner, The Information Lab meets strict regulatory guidelines required by corporate groups, mid-market companies and organisations in the financial, pharmaceutical, and healthcare sectors. Structured patch management and defined disaster recovery protocols reliably eliminate operational risks.
Which regions are covered by your platform support services?
From our headquarters in Hamburg, The Information Lab manages and supports analytics platform environments for mid-market companies and corporate groups across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland (DACH). Technical support and system maintenance are delivered efficiently via remote access, backed by clear Service Level Agreements (SLAs) that guarantee fast response times.
