Is a picture truly worth a thousand words (or more)?

When it comes to high volume data analysis, enabling your data users to visually consume information can save your organization time and money. How can you provide your data users with an advantage that enables them to escape “spreadsheet hell”?

This webinar, presented by TAC Expert David Schmidtknecht, will focus on visual business intelligence tools, some of which are traditional dashboards, as well as how companies are moving business analytics to total visual displays. Hot issues to be addressed include:

• What are the best means of communicating information to data consumers?
• How is it possible to display thousands of rows of information in a single screen?
• When is visual analysis most effective, and when is seeing the numbers still best?
