This is a table of contents of useful product information about, and benefits of, InetSoft's visualization capabilities built into its business intelligence software for dashboards, reporting, and analytics:
Advanced Visualization - Now let’s talk about advanced visualization. This one is really about time to insight. Or showing us what is beneath the tip of the iceberg. At the tip of the iceberg, that’s where the BI industry does really well, answering the bread and butter questions such as what are my sales by customer or even time period analysis. What are my sales by customer this year versus last year? But where the BI industry lags in general is answering those complex questions, such as what is different about those customers with higher sales? So the less precise or the more exploratory questions, such as what are some of the characteristics of those customers? Or even what are characteristics of customers that are likely to churn...

Example of an Advanced Visualization - Let’s look at one example of an advanced visualization, so you can see what is meant by more insight per pixel. Think of a regular gauge chart. It’s very familiar. Some people would call this the executive eye candy. Everyone likes to see this in a dashboard because we’re familiar with the idea of the speedometer style gauge. So if the needle is either in red or yellow then we’re below target for something. Now the challenge with this is this single gauge is taking up a lot of space. The other problem is 10% of the population is color blind. So is that the red on the right or the green? One solution to this problem is the bullet graph. This does a couple of things. First, it doesn’t rely on the red-yellow-green so everyone...
Exploration Tool or Visualization Tool - And when you look at these BI vendors, the other thing is that they see this as an addition to your environment. You have reporting and dashboards, and on top of it you get this exploration tool or this visualization tool which you add to that environment. To some extent you do want that. But the reality is that the interfaces and the expectation of users are morphing. Phones, apps, and websites, all these things are changing the expectation of instantaneous interaction and the ability to explore which means that you’re actually probably going to replace that reporting interface with something completely different for these people because the new BI tools and architectures are turning away from the publishing model, not continually perpetuating it. And what that means for you if you are on the receiving end of what the vendors give you is that you have to look hard at the tools to support different people and start to develop more detailed usage scenarios because there are people that will take a fixed report and do nothing more than that. There are other people who will analyze and explore, and they need interactive capabilities and not a design/execute/view model...
Introduction to Data Visualization in Business Intelligence - Data visualization, according to Wikipedia, is the study of the visual representation of data. A closely related term, Information visualization, is defined as: visualization is a process of transforming information into a visual form enabling the viewer to observe, browse, make sense, and understand the information. In the context of Business Intelligence (BI), data visualization is applied in two ways. First, data visualization is a discipline that covers a complete theory of how to visually represent data. The concepts and systems can be applied in the design of visual interfaces for communicating information...
Introduction to Data Visualization Software -Like Object Oriented programming, while it’s possible to do without explicit language support, it’s much nicer if the programming language provides explicit support such as classes and inheritance. The same is true with data visualization. It is certainly true that most graphs could be created with a minimum set of graphing features, such as those available in Excel, it is very helpful if the software tool has many of the advanced graphing functions built-in. The following is a visualization of housing data...
Large Library of Interchangeable Visualizations - In the airline demo, we used a map and a graph matrix. Style Intelligence has a large library of interchangeable visualizations including bubble charts, area charts, heat maps, line charts, bar charts, and many others, and they are all designed to help you get the answers you need. Over time, we will continually add to this visualization library to deliver even more insights. With Style Intelligence, getting to the answer is simple and fast. As you saw in the demo, it's really a five step process. First, you pick your visualization type, second, you select the data objects, and third, you simply drop those into the analytical drop zones, and the data begins to appear. You conduct your analysis literally at speed of thought. Four, you can filter the data to refine your analysis to see just the information you want and five, your visualizations appear and change as you modify the analysis. It all happens so quickly that you can change your mind, rearrange the data, change your visualization and filter data all this without help from IT. The Style Intelligence experience is very empowering. Business people will finally feel like they are in control of getting the answers they need when they need them. Style Intelligence can be used to analyze data from any database. A business person can point Style Intelligence to any set of data and begin exploration. That data can be in a database. It can be in an OLAP cube, or just simply in an Excel spreadsheet...
