Benefits of Visual Analytics Software
The right visual analytics software will offer many benefits to the user, including the reduction of lag time and overhead costs. Traditionally, when using information access systems, if a business person had a question in mind, they would have to submit a data or report request to IT in order to get an answer. It would often take a long time to get an answer to these questions, and, even worse, the question could be misunderstood or not worded correctly resulting in a need to repeat the whole process again. This lead to unnecessary delays in business tasks and queries.
InetSoft's visual analytics software has changed all that by putting tools in the hands of non-technical users, giving any information seeker the ability to explore and ask questions of data with no outside help from IT. Maximum self-service is made possible by InetSoft's drag-and-drop interface, where users can drag out different data fields onto a spreadsheet like interface to create charts, tables, crosstabs, and gauges. From there, users can modify analytical parameters and isolate certain parts of data on the visualizations in order to get a closer look at relevant aspects of information.
By allowing for easy interactive exploration to non-technical users, InetSoft is giving business users the freedom to be inquisitive, thereby increasing the discovery of meaningful trends, opportunities, causes and effects that have not have been seen before.
Once useful new insights are found, users can save and bookmark their explorations and share them with other users. On the other hand, if a user's exploration does not lead to the desired information, the task can be restarted by simply clicking the "x" button, making for user-friendly exploration with no pressure.
