Visualization is the branch of analysis that turns data into visual insight. Traditional data visualization tools were designed for highly trained professionals, such as scientific researchers. These used complicated outputs and statistical models to enable these users to discover low-level patterns.
InetSoft’s visualization application, the Viewsheet, is a business intelligence tool that brings the power of visualization to business executives and mainstream users.
Because Viewsheets allow you to interact with data using familiar objects such as charts, sliders, and check-boxes, they are quick to learn and easy to use. They allow you to seamlessly integrate data warehouses and other BI data stores with operational data sources for a complete view of your organization.
Visualization using Viewsheets goes far beyond the ad hoc querying you might use to find answers to existing questions. With Viewsheets, you will be able to explore your data from every angle, discover new patterns, test new ideas, and envision new opportunities.
"You actually use more business intelligence capabilities. So in between the execution phase and the final evaluation, you’re constantly tracking and monitoring your performance so you can tune your execution. That’s where business intelligence with dashboards for analysis and monitoring come in.
And in between the evaluation phase and incorporating your learnings or findings and adapting your strategy, you need to do some in-depth analytics.
That’s the more traditional forecasting or predictive analytics as well as things like data mining. So there is a piece that is more business intelligence as it relates to the management system, and then there is a piece that is more performance management, and you couple them together.
After some months of active use of the platform, go back to the users and find out where they get value out of the system, what they’ve been using it for, and start to use those thought leaders, the folks that have been the most aggressive users getting this value out of it. Use them, perhaps, as a way to add the additional performance management capabilities into the organization."
