Visualization: Set Your Analytics Users Free

Visual data discovery tools are a relatively new addition to the spectrum of business intelligence solutions. Data collected by the Aberdeen Group, found that employees in organizations that used visual data discovery were more likely to find the information they need, when they need it. These same companies were able to scale their use of scarce IT skills more effectively.

This new research — based on data collected in 2013 from 29 organizations using visual data discovery and 95 that were not — reinforces those findings.

In this whitepaper, Aberdeen Senior Analyst David White looks at the value customers can get from using visual data discovery tools. As White writes: "Visual data discovery solutions are still early in the adoption cycle — only 22% of survey respondents currently use this class of analytics solution. However, a number of significant benefits and best practices are starting to emerge.”
