Data Visualization
Concept
  • The aim is to portray information in a way that is easy to understand, so that users can focus on what is important to them, presenting complex, multi-dimensional data in a visual format using dimensions such as colour, size, and shape.
  • Data visualization is about getting the right information to the right people at the right time, and about presenting less rather than more and using graphics and colours to focus attention where it is needed most.
Trajectory
  • The maturity of vendors varies greatly in their ability to provide a wide array of visualization options beyond just pie, bar, and line charts. Advanced systems also allow data to be explored interactively.
  • Data visualization helps organizations to cope with both the increasing amounts of information available and the growing shortage of time to analyze it.
  • It is possible to uncover insights within the data through identifying patterns. This might not be possible if the data was not presented visually.
  • Interactive visualization implies the use of heat maps, geographic maps, link charts, and provides a broad spectrum of special purpose visualizations. Increasingly, this fourth feature will become a differentiator among vendors.
  • For global projects with language issues, visuals are more effective for communication than words.
