According to Gartner, the "Visualization and Data Discovery" market segment is the fastest growing area of Business Intelligence. One-third of respondents in a Business Value study said the biggest inhibitor to implementing analytics in their organization was the "lack of skills to analyze and interpreting data into meaningful business actions."
Call on Visual Perspectives to help you bridge the gap between data and insight!

Data analysis is an interactive process:
Algorithms operate on data to extract patterns and features, using statistical, machine learning and artificial intelligence technologies.
Visual representations of the data and the results of the algorithms that operate on them can be are visualized so that analysts and other users can "see" what's going on.
The human brings perceptual and cognitive capabilities, that have been honed by evolution, to make judgments and decisions about the patterns and structures revealed in these visual representations.
The user can then explore the data by interacting with the representation, the algorithms, and the data, to derive deeper insights.
