Business visualization

SAS Enterprise BI Server and SAS Visual BI provide interactive visualization capabilities that enable decision makers to dynamically explore ideas, investigate patterns, uncover hidden facts and then share those insights confidently across the enterprise for better decision making. An extensive suite of customizable graphical presentation options present information and insights not easily detected in tabular formats.

• Provide self-service access to dynamic, visualization environments that enable users to explore ideas, investigate patterns and discover previously hidden facts. 
• Share visualizations via dashboards, reports and Microsoft office applications so that discoveries can be easily understood and appropriate actions can be taken. 
• Reduce the over-dependence on IT to service ad hoc requests by providing business users with self-sufficient access to robust visualization capabilities.
