Data Visualization

What business intelligence software should have been

Pretty charts aren't enough. True data visualization software means seeing a problem from a new perspective, not looking at the same old report or graph. It means trying out a hunch instead of waiting on a change request. It means getting up and running in minutes without a soul-crushing implementation and training cycle.

Data visualization with Tableau Software:
fast, easy, beautiful.

software can support and speed up data visualization by providing:

visual analysis

Genuine data visualization supports visual thinking. The human brain can process a picture much faster than a table of numbers. The right presentation, using the best practices of information visualization, makes organizing and understanding information simple. Features, trends and outliers show up the way they never do in rows and columns.

interactive data exploration

When you visualize and interact with data, you can find patterns and identify outliers. That's why you need to be able to work directly with your data, shifting between views easily and without support from IT. A well-designed data visualization application supports analytical reasoning through easy-to-use interfaces. It allows you to filter, rank and sort, and group data, and to calculate new fields.

collaboration and sharing

Analysis that goes unshared or ignored is often as good as no analysis at all. That occurs too easily when the story is told in numbers, making the the story hard to explain. Good visualization lets you tell the story naturally. Colleagues become collaborators the deeper they become involved with the story.
