Re: Bime Tip: Decompose, Drill Through & Focus features

Hrvoje Smolic — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 11:25:08 -0000

Nice new features. Although, 'drill through' feature is more like 'show raw data'. Under drill through I expected feature to chose dynamicaly where do I want to drill through (for example, for region Central I want to drill to some other dimension, like Order Priority)

Great stuff, so now what are the best graphs to visualize Wikileaks cables? (o: A demo on top of these archives would be instructive and quite challenging I guess!

I didn't see waterfall charts on there. They are pretty useful for showing changes in value due to different influences, such as changes in profit over a period of time.

Also, a bubble map is a bit different from a scatter plot because it allows you to include additional variables trough the size and possibly color of the bubbles.

Future is Out-Of-the box.As of now BI is inside the box. i.e depends on the historical data and current transactional data.
Get the market intelligence and marry it with historical intelligence

This graph correlates nicely with the time honored "6 Stages of a Project" we all know in Engineering

The 6 stages of any project:

1 Wild Enthusiasm

2 Mass Disillusionment

3 Total Confusion

4 Search for the guilty

5 Punishment of the innocent

6 Reward of the non-participants

Hi I found this article from your post on LinkedIn. I wrote about the related issue of measuring the benefits of BI a while back and it is interesting to see some overlaps with your ideas above.

Re: Visualization to celebrate Facebook’s 500 million users

nephelai — Wed, 29 Sep 2010 05:40:09 -0000

@UXmosis,
Thanks for taking a look at this visualization. Unfortunately our dataset was relatively small when we created this dashboard. However, since then it has come to our attention that there are better datasets out there - http://www.facebakers.com/c... - Facebakers for example has more comprehensive stats on Facebook users, and includes Denmark. Feel free to have a go with Bime yourself using this data.

Re: Visualization to celebrate Facebook’s 500 million users

UXmosis — Wed, 29 Sep 2010 05:20:31 -0000

Considering that Denmark has over 2.5mil Facebook users, dwarfing many other countries when compared to the country population, it surprises me that they are not featured in the data visualisation.

Re: What’s the Difference Between SaaS and the Cloud?

nephelai — Fri, 17 Sep 2010 04:48:50 -0000

Hi Jaya,
There must be thousands and thousands of SaaS applications out there.
ADP, Taleo, Success Factors and NetSuite are all examples of SaaS applications that are used on demand and paid for. The major cloud service providers include Microsoft, Amazon, Terremark, and Google. Hope that helps!

Kirsty, Thank you for posting this. It is amazing how much power can be generated by organizations that embrace their data and use it to make strategic decisions. Remaining in data denial is simply flying blind. We have a related post on our blog here: http://spurspectives.com/is...
It really comes down to matching your mission and vision to the data you collect and analyze.

Re: What’s the Difference Between SaaS and the Cloud?

Jaya P — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 06:33:12 -0000

SaaS would include internet applications used by people (google, flicr, facebook et al) - but those are not full fledged examples because the general public does not explicitly pay for these software - they get paid for as part of the internet services that networked people use. knowledge bases in the web should throw light on the software that are actually used on demand and paid for - salesforce.com is an oft quoted name. Are there others - there must be...?

I'm interested by this article, but I can't seem to get the dashboard to work. I'd like to link it to my blog (http://bidevelopments.com/) and share your information, but I don't want to do it until I can get it working... suggestions?

Re: 6 Resources for Business Intelligence News and Information

nephelai — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 03:49:26 -0000

Steve,
Sorry we didn’t include DI. We were trying to keep it short so we limited ourselves to a maximum of 6 resources. And we just took the top 3 websites and the top 3 authors that people talked about the most on LinkedIn discussions. Although DI was mentioned on several occasions, we did not have the scope to add it this time. It is however an undoubtedly good resource for BI information, and I personally find it extremely informative.
