Overview

Enterprises worldwide now face the challenge of extracting meaning from an ever-growing portfolio of data assets. Embracing data visualization helps business turn raw data into meaning and meaning into understanding. Visualization is integral to any BI and analytics regime. It accelerates time-to-insight by reducing the time and effort needed to identify correlations and complex patterns from large data sets. Interactive data visualization lets enterprises further expand their use of visualization by empowering business users to drill down into charts and graphs with more detail, interactively changing the data seen and processed.

At Polaris Associates, we believe in the power of visualization. Our data visualization services help enterprises leverage visuals for data2insight journeys.

Data Visualization Challenges We Solve

Implementing data visualization imparts right focus to the reporting process. A well-formulated data visualization solution saves time spent searching for insights and shifts focus to better. Poor implementations, on the other hand, increase time to insight and delay decision-making.
  • Complex reports & dashboards
    Too many elements or colors make reports difficult to understand. We focus on design and use consistent and relevant colors and chart types to convey meaning instantaneously.
  • Overlook user roles
    Data visualization fails when it does not deliver the right data to the relevant user in the right format. We tailor dashboards and reports to the role’s responsibilities and decision-making needs.
  • Limit root cause analysis
    We ensure data granularity for stronger analysis. We offer drill-down and filtering options so that answers to difficult business questions can be found by looking from various angles.
  • Lack of flexibility
    Visual output needs to be optimized for viewing device. We give you secure, speedy and real-time access to reports and dashboards that are optimized for the mobile-viewing.
