What Users Want from their BI Investments: How the Addition of Data Visualization Tools Can Amplify, Improve and Extend BI Investments. People have come to expect highly interactive, well-designed and intuitive visual interfaces in the systems they use in everyday life. Successful BI systems are just as easy to use. They put the information relevant to a decision in a visual context that people can comprehend and interpret quickly. In addition to ease-of-use, the BI systems experts face challenges related to the sheer volume of data available, the frequency of data updates (particularly in operational environments), and the multitude of data sources that can play into a decision-making process. |

Visualization: Enterprises Catch Up With Elevated Expectations. The financial services industry lives on impressive quantities of data that expose, or more often obscure, the opportunity to spot pricing disparities that can be extremely profitable to the first who can identify and act on the information. Panopticon, based in Stockholm and operating globally, also has its base in financial services but works with a variety of other companies in areas such as supply chain management and inventory controls. Data visualization often reveals problems in seconds that might otherwise require hours of searching through spreadsheets. |

To Reduce Delays, Firms Filter-Or Cut Down-The Data Coming In. Complex event processing tools often come with their own dashboards and are used with third-party data visualization software which firms to drill down to specific data points. Such tools are great for creating and executing algorithms if certain conditions are met. However, they don't provide a trader with enough analysis of how the algorithm is performing or how the market is doing on a real-time basis. |

Do you know where your BI software's data visualization tools come from? Most innovations in visualization technology over the last several years have come from a handful of other visualization specialists, analysts agree. But whether straight to the enterprise or incorporated into existing BI suites via OEM agreements, visualization technology is all designed with one goal: to make it easier for mere humans to intuitively understand vast quantities of data with just a single look. "Visualization should be an extension of how your brain is thinking." |

Sizing the Horizon: The Effects of Chart Size and Layering on the Graphical Perception of Time Series Visualizations. Jeffrey Heer from Stanford University and Nicholas Kong and Maneesh Agrawala from the University of California at Berkeley investigate techniques for visualizing time series data and evaluate their effect in value comparison tasks. They compare line charts with Horizon Graphs — a space-efficient time series visualization technique — across a range of chart sizes, measuring the speed and accuracy of subjects’ estimates of value differences between charts. They identify transition points at which reducing the chart height results in significantly differing drops in estimation accuracy across the compared chart types, and they find optimal positions in the speed-accuracy tradeoff curve at which viewers performed quickly without attendant drops in accuracy.
