The Art of Analysis

Improving Reports through Visual Analytics

A Beagle Research Group Whitepaper

Business analytics have transformed the way we manage our businesses in ways that we could not have predicted even a few years ago. Every new innovation comes with unintended consequences, because people often use an innovation in ways that the originators may not have intended or they simply apply it incorrectly leading to sub-optimal results.

The unintended consequence of modern reporting is that the tools have become so easy to use that novices can put together reports with little thought to the relevance of the information they contain. This Beagle Research Group Executive White Paper examines some of the obvious ways analytics can be misapplied and shows how much more information can be obtained when the right tools are used for the right jobs.

It may be a tired truism but at the end of the day it is still true: enterprises run on information. Organizations work hard to push information to line of business users to enable them to make good decisions on behalf of the enterprise. As information has permeated the outer reaches of many companies, it has, necessarily, been put into the hands of more junior people who may be unequipped to grasp its significance at times.
