Seeing Is Believing: The Power of Data Visualization
Renowned philosopher Ludwig Wittgentstein once wrote: “Some things cannot be said; they must be shown.” His prophetic words could serve as a mantra for the growing field of data visualization. Long the domain of pie charts and simple graphs, data visualization has evolved into a dynamic discipline that's opening whole new doors for the exploration and analysis of complex data sets.
With technologies such as Flash and Flex, information consumers today can interact with data in a truly compelling way, drilling in any direction, using slider bars to show changes over various dimensions. These new ways of exploring data are not just empowering users to find new insights faster; they are also changing the rules of how data is organized, structured and delivered.
