• Data visualization: 3 steps towards success

  Wednesday, March 13, 2019

  Data visualization means giving numbers a visual context and extends existing concepts, such as business intelligence and analytics. Someone (wisely) decided that the interesting bits (outliers, trends, etc.) are better seen not as black and white numbers on a spreadsheet but as graphics made of colors, lines, and shapes. Have you ever heard the adage, "You first eat with your eyes?" Beautiful food is more appetizing, which is why fancy restaurants spend so much time making their meals more visually appealing. Data is no different. Displaying it visually can do wonders for getting your point across. That’s what data visualization is all about.
