What is data analytics and visualisation?
Data analytics is the process of transforming raw data into meaningful visual formats. It helps demystify complex information by presenting it in a clear, engaging, and insightful way.
Common forms of data visualization include:
- Tables
- Graphs
- Maps
- Infographics
- Dashboards
- Gantt charts
- Heat maps
- Timelines
- Word clouds
While data visualization often involves time-consuming manual work with spreadsheets, it doesn’t have to be that way. Our advanced visualization software integrates directly with your data warehouse, enabling you to generate visual reports either automatically or with just a few clicks.
Why are data analytics tools important?
Humans are naturally drawn to visual content. In fact, the brain dedicates around 30% of its processing power to vision, compared to only 8% for touch and 3% for hearing.
Research shows that presentations incorporating visuals are 43% more persuasive than those using text alone. Visuals help make content appear clearer, more concise, data-driven, professional, convincing, and engaging.
