Visual Performance Analysis Software Information

This is a table of contents of useful product information about, and benefits of, InetSoft's visual performance analysis capabilities built into its business intelligence software for dashboards, reporting, and data mashups:

Understanding Key Business Metrics - Key Business Metrics (KBMs) are business indicators that are used to follow a company's performance. All companies, non-profit organizations, and government entities need to judge their performance on a time-sensitive basis. These business metrics are the statistics that are deemed important enough to track in order to meet projected business goals...

Understanding Key Performance Goals - Key performance goals are the important, strategic final and intermediate outcomes that management sets for either overall corporate performance, or for departmental performance. Examples could be higher sales or higher customer satisfaction. After the goals are set, then organizations track the progress of their efforts towards these goals by monitoring the key performance indicators or KPI, the numbers that measure the current level of the metric associated with the goal. The corresponding examples would be monthly sales figures or percent of customer who are highly satisfied.

Using a Visual Analysis of Multidimensional Data - Let’s continue on using this visual analysis of multidimensional data from the Census. So let's say I want to choose a state to live in, I want to live in the West Coast, so I can immediately filter out all the states in the West Coast. Notice how all the other selection lists updated themselves to show me compatible selections. I am only looking at the states with West Coast of the US. I can further filter my data. I only want to live in a state where the median household income is at least $40,000. Now just by looking at this picture, I can immediately spot the outliers. This is not a very good state to live in, very heavily populated, a horrible commuted time, not a very large median household income. It's California. On the other hand, I have an outlier, high household income, decent commute time, not a large population, but it's Alaska. I can always zoom in to certain portions in my chart. These two look like good states, not very populated, good commuted time, decent income, Utah and Nevada. I can filter by any other region and really explore and visualize my data...

Using Interactive Visualizations on iPads - One customer of ours found something else out by using interactive visualizations on iPads. What they found is when they gave iPads with Style Intelligence on them to their customers who are shopping for refinance, mortgage and home loans, who could then interact with the data in their office, they got a 30% increase in customer conversion rates and up to 90% in regular inquiries. Why is that? I think it’s because when people can interact with the data, they get that physical sense of working with the data. And in fact, viewing the mobile device is not just a way of viewing the data. It’s a way of interacting with the data, and it becomes part of the narrative of the customer relationship. It becomes part of that narrative experience, which is very powerful for users. How does the use of data discovery tools change a business? Well, one of the things that happens is that we move away from this traditional view. There’s this very telling phrase that we use in business intelligence. We talk about end users. And you can see in this diagram there are end users that are purely passive receivers of knowledge that comes out from the center...

Visual Analysis - an article about the power of visual analysis, a relatively new innovation in information management software that allows a person to explore data in an interactive, visual manner. At its simplest, it means charting and graphing data, but the novelty is in multi-dimensional charting and interactivity. Multi-dimensional charting means being able to depict more than just two dimensions on a graph. The standard simple graph charts just two dimension, on the x and y axes. In a two-dimensional chart you can identify basic trends, such as time-based one: is a measure like sales, increasing or decreasing, but you can’t see any other dimension that might help explain why...

Visual Analysis Example Using Airline Performance Data - Here is another visual analysis example that uses airline on-time performance data from the Federal Aviation Administration. The colors represent on-time performance for a certain time block by day of week with red being the worst and green the best. Again, we can uncover systemic problem areas much faster than we could using tables of information. Rather than discuss this some more let's just take a look at Style Intelligence in action. Airports are geographical entities so map is a logical way of summarizing airport information. By using the latitude and longitude information of airports this analytical map now has marked the location of all the airports in my data. Next, I will color code these airports using the on-time percent measure, and from this default range of colors I can see there is a lot of variation in airport performance. If I open up the option menu here, I can personalize the color distribution of my liking simply by adjusting the performance bands in terms of color and the corresponding range of values that those colors represent...

Visual Analysis Software - an article about the business benefits of visual analysis, such as exploring data inexpensively, speeding up data analysis, and how for reasons that all members of an organization can value, visual analysis is a very attractive business tool. Traditional information access methods are frustratingly human resource intensive. A business person might have a question in mind, but previously he or she needed to make a data or report request to a database analyst to get an answer. If the request was misunderstood or, after seeing the result, the asker realized a mistake in the question, the process had to be repeated...

Visual Data Tool - Visualization and analysis benefits include unlimited multi-dimensional charting, brushing for data exploration, drag and drop design in a Web browser, spreadsheet-like design, use gauges, thermometers, and other familiar objects, use charts, maps, and other advanced visual displays. In the past year several powerful advances in visualization capabilities have been introduced. Users can now: * Make multi-dimensional charts even more information-rich thanks to new coloring, shape, and sizing options that, for instance, turn a 3D bubble chart into a 4D or 5D chart * Create multi-charts (aka trellis graphs, visual crosstab, or small multiples). * Use brushing techniques where by selecting data points in one chart highlights corresponding data points in accompanying charts...
