Unlocking the value of “Dark Data”

Use analytics
10% today

75%

Need
analytics
by 2020

Nucleus Research, Gartner, Fortune Magazine

Missing new
insights
Not utilizing all the
information out
there

=

IT is not agile enough
and the business wants
to get involved
Ability to manage and
consume all data is
getting harder

Not leveraging the power of
collective insight

Collective insight is changing the way
we think about analytics…

Your brain is wired for visuals

65% of information is
100101
011010

Understanding
available data –
big or small

remembered by people 72 hours
after exposure when a picture
is added

30% of the cortex is devoted
Finding
answers to
questions in no
time – using
iterative data
exploration

to neurons processing visuals

150ms

It takes only
for the
human visual system to process
a complex natural image

Agile Visualization
Intuitively explore and present data
to reveal new insights at-a-glance

Discover hidden patterns
in information

Intuitively explore,
understand, and present
data to make better
decisions

VISUALIZE

Extend the reach of
analytics to the fringes of
the organization

The power of visualization

10,000
