What does SAS Visual BI do? SAS Visual BI, powered by JMP® software, provides dynamic business visualization, enabling business users to interactively explore ideas and information, investigate patterns and discover previously hidden facts through visual queries. This product, part of the most comprehensive BI platform in the industry, enriches the already diverse SAS visualization landscape and overcomes niche tool limitations.
Why is SAS Visual BI important? With SAS Visual BI, business users gain instantaneous insight into relationships and patterns in data by viewing and interacting with information in ways that static charts and Excel spreadsheets cannot match. Users can drill deep into content and explore a virtually unlimited number of columns and records – transcending information silos, diverse computing platforms and niche tools to discover new insights that drive business value for the organization.
For whom is SAS Visual BI designed? SAS Visual BI is designed for business users who have a compelling need for dynamic, visual insights in a self-provisioned interactive environment but are restricted by the inherent limitations in spreadsheets and static graphs and charts.
Key Benefits
-
Visually query data. Instead of developing complex data queries in SQL or a prompter, users can simply drag across points in a graph or click subsets in a mosaic plot. Because querying is simple, fast and dynamic, users can visually ask and answer questions to derive additional value from their information assets, without requiring IT services.
- Overcome data limitations. SAS Visual BI, with the ability to process up to two billion rows and an unlimited number of columns and records, enables users to explore vast amounts of data and handle large, real-world problems.
- Interact with data to gain insights into relationships and patterns. With SAS Visual BI, users can graphically view and interact with data from multiple dimensions. Just point and click, drag and drop to explore areas of interest. Visualizing results graphically can lead more quickly to new insights.
- See long-term trends instead of year-to-date views. Create graphics with many distinct variables, and with motion-enabled graphics you can watch as trends become clear.
- Make better, faster decisions and share results throughout your organization. Tight integration with SAS Enterprise BI Server means business users can make better decisions faster based on new insights, and easily share results across the organization.
Key Features
-
Highly interactive business graphics. With SAS Visual BI, users can grab, spin and explore their data, viewing it from multiple angles. Interactive graphs range from 3D scatter plots to trellis plots, needle plots and summary charts, and animated bubble plots let you put graphs in motion for a more engaging experience.
- Visual querying and data filtering. With SAS Visual BI, there's no need for complex SQL queries because querying data is visual, intuitive and dynamic – it's all point-and-click. Users can interactively filter and query data, browsing and rearranging data at will to visually subset data, animate reports or drill down to underlying information. Results are displayed immediately.
- Visual analytics. SAS Visual BI brings an interactive exploration environment to SAS' advanced analytics, including simulations and optimizations, state-of-the-art time series modeling, and exploratory and predictive analyses. With the ability to run SAS Stored Services authored by SAS Enterprise Guide or other SAS components, business analysts can take advantage of existing models and reports. By distilling complex data structures into succinct information pictures and movies, you can quickly assess and realize the value in information assets.
- Ability to leverage the SAS Enterprise Intelligent Platform. With SAS Visual BI, you get dynamic visualization capabilities and the industry's most comprehensive business intelligence platform. This means users don't have to depend on IT to service their ad hoc requests. They can explore data on their own and share their results quickly across the organization.
