Data Visual Analysis

WE AIM TO SOLVE BUSINESS NEEDS WITH DATA VISUAL ANALYSIS

Why is the Data Visual Analysis Group Different?

Data Visual Analysis Group (DVA) is a professional consulting firm that offers an alternative to the traditional spreadsheets and Business Intelligence (BI) tools and approaches.  Spreadsheets and most existing BI tools have failed to meet the needs of business professionals.  Spreadsheets tend not to be a company-wide information delivery system, but are unique to the individuals that built them.  Companies have many spreadsheets with different views of the business resulting from inconsistent definitions of business elements and metrics.

When BI tools are used, they are mostly designed for report generation supplied by a team of highly trained analysts.  Instead of providing the business user with flexibility, these reports are often rigid in structure, limited in their scope and capabilities and can take months and even years to set-up.  They fail to engage the mobile workforce and underutilize all available company and outside data.

In contrast, DVA uses software from Tableau that enables us to build workbooks and dashboards that provide data visualizations.  Unlike static charts and graphs, visual analytics is interactive; namely, the user can interrogate the data and repaint the resulting picture with a click.  Instead of the chart showing the conclusion, visual analytics enables the user to ask a question of the data, get an answer, and ask follow-up questions rapidly all within the same visual interface without assistance from a technical resource.

The user of the visualizations can perform a number of analysis and investigative routines including instant data calculations, drill-downs to the underlying transactional records, and geographic and spacial representations of the data. As a result of DVA’s building these visual analyses, the investigate “story” unfolds before your very eyes. These stories can be retained in workbooks or shared with others.
