Data Visualization Software From
Advanced Visual Systems Empowers Next-Generation Data
Analysis
Strategic Focus on Innovative Graphics, In-Memory
Analytics, Real-Time Updating and Large Dataset Handling
Distinguishes OpenViz From Entry-Level Charting and
Dashboard Tools
Advanced Visual Systems has released a new edition of
OpenViz, its powerful data visualization software (www.openviz.com), incorporating high performance
features designed to help corporate decision-makers keep
pace with growing volumes of data and the pursuit of
faster decisions from easier-to-use software
applications. Significant input to new OpenViz features
came from several of AVS's large ISV customers who are
influential business intelligence, ERP and PLM software
vendors and reflect the broad landscape of firms that
are innovating the once-static reporting process with
highly interactive data visualization.
First released in 1998 (and still deployed by its first customer
from that same year, a CRM and Web analytics pioneer),
OpenViz has experienced a steady stream of enhancements
that have established AVS as a leader in high
performance data visualization for corporate, scientific
and engineering solutions. Through OEM and direct
licensing, AVS estimates that OpenViz has served
millions of end users -- many of them long before data
visualization became a buzzword and graphics became
ubiquitous in nearly every type of software application.
The latest version of OpenViz offers an unprecedented level of
control over how data visualizations look, behave and
interact with large quantities of complex information:
- Sophisticated calculations and algorithmic formulas can be
processed by a powerful in-memory processor that
supports hundreds of simultaneous sessions and extremely
large data;
- Precise and automatic positioning of annotations, legends and
labels is achieved with superior control and conditional
formatting, aiding in the compression of more data into
smaller pieces of screen real estate;
- Date and time-based values can be controlled with greater dexterity
and integrated with chart types that are frequently
inhospitable to massive timelines;
- Color gradients, lighting effects, shadows and unique perspective
can be applied to any data visualization to help users
detect subtle nuances in the data that would otherwise
go unnoticed;
- Custom 2-D and 3-D shapes and infographics can be created to
capture the behavior of sometimes-unwieldy data formats
such as social media, sensor data and market measures;
and
- Data architects and solution designers can collaborate on novel
ways to exploit larger data volumes and deliver
innovative results to decision-makers via integrated
cloud, desktop and mobile strategies.
OpenViz is distinguished from charting, dashboard and embedded
graphic technologies by numerous fundamental design
features including:
- An API-based approach that provides great flexibility and
unconstrained creativity in the design, development and
deployment of data visualizations;
- The ability to create large in-memory arrays of data from any flat
file, cube or stream and manage post-processed values
for use in graphics rendering and other application
functionality;
- Options for multiple forms of publishing (thin and/or thick client)
from a single application on all Java-based and
Microsoft platforms;
- Full 3D renderer that supports a wide range of image generation
capabilities and can be hardware accelerated using a
GPU.
"OpenViz is unique in that it's a product designed for
software developers that was created out of an
appreciation for the ways that actual end users make
decisions," notes Anoop Chatterjee, CTO of AVS. "Data --
and lots of it -- is the common denominator between
developer and decision maker. As data queries get larger
the developer/decision-maker equilibrium needs to be
constantly perfected, and that has been the focus of our
recent OpenViz initiative."
Steve Sukman, Executive Vice President of AVS, notes that "As
popular as graphics have become in all types of software
solutions, in the final analysis end-users really just
want to make a fast, accurate decision. That decision --
and the graphics that often influence it -- must
increasingly be driven by a complex mash-up of data,
processed and delivered with added value, and designed
to inspire answers, not questions. OpenViz was designed
to realize these necessities and provide AVS clients
with a long-term solution to the evolving challenges of
making the best possible decision."
