How do you make sense of information when the digital universe is doubling
in size every two years? Not by doing the same old thing: reading rows and
rows of data, painstakingly combining information from different sources, or
having a select few use complex tools and processes to find and distribute
insights. Instead, see the signals with visual analytics, which allows you to
make sense of the digital universe through fast, easy access to any data,
from any source, on any deviceso you can easily see value, quickly
combine data, and find and share insights no matter where you are.

Now with Data Visualization, we have

something that is as visually compelling
as it is easy to use. The storytelling
functionality is a pivot point in terms of
being able to explain your insights
effectively.
