Data Visualization Guide

Let’s talk about data visualization for a second. It’s much more than just a splash of color and some pie charts.

Data visualization can help reveal insights in your data that you would have never seen otherwise. And with advanced analytics behind it, you can process huge amounts of data at lightning speeds.

This article from SAS^® that sheds some light on the topic. It explores:

• The history of data visualization.
• Why it’s important.
• How it’s used in today’s world.
• How to decide what visuals are best.

Plus, you’ll find links to additional resources, like white papers and videos.

In our last chapter, we covered the capabilities and applications of data visualization. Now, let’s look at how one SAS^® customer uses it to overcome some complex challenges.

This article describes how the company now uses data visualization and analytics to:

• Achieve a complete view of customers for individualized decisions.
• Make information available to every employee.
• Better manage risks to be more profitable.
