Next Generation Information Visualization

Date: June 2008
Type: White Paper
Rating: (2)

Overview: The analysis problem today is very significant. Analysts of all types are overwhelmed with data which continues to grow at alarming rates. Traditional business intelligence tools are not able to satisfy the analysts need to interactively explore the data. As a result, these tools and current data visualization products are too hard to use, too static (they lack interactivity), too disconnected from the immediate needs of business users and too isolated. Interactive, visual exploration and collaboration are much easier to adopt and apply to rapidly make substantive business decisions. Visualization must support the ability to pose questions through direct interaction with heterogeneous data sources simultaneously. Users need to be able to "shift the lens" and view the data through different visual representations while also maintaining the threads that link these views together. Next generation visualization will be easy to use, support interactivity, allow analysts to collaborate in real time, provide integrated data views, support network analysis (link analysis), should be 100% thin client, support geospatial views and be pluggable and extensible.
