Data visualization has become one of the key data-related activities and practices and is today a fundamental requirement for fostering a data-driven business culture and reaching data-driven decisions, i.e. informed business decisions based on data. It is the final element of the data collection, integration and analysis process and contributes to the democratization of information, turning data into understandable, useful and impactful information. 

The Importance Of Data Visualization In Business

The relevance of data visualization has been growing at the same pace as the importance of data, more and more necessary at all levels of a company. Today, it is essential that all departments and employees, especially those involved in the decision-making process and the creation of business strategies, have access to consolidated, validated and previously analyzed information with a specific objective in mind. Therefore, it is increasingly essential that more and more people are able to understand the data related to business activity so that drawing conclusions becomes effective. In this sense, visualization is the tool that allows us to transform mathematical formulas (data) into clear and clear sentences (visualizations, reports, charts, etc.).

Furthermore, data visualization also plays a key role in building relationships with our customers. When making contact with customers, the sales department usually presents reports that endorse and demonstrate the reliability, efficiency, good performance of the company and the results promised by the product or service offered. Ensuring that the information presented to the customer is as clear, concise, understandable and persuasive as possible is essential to convince them. In fact, it is just as important as the treatment they receive, the offer presented and the final results of the product, service or project. After all, people are driven by emotions and perceptions, so the aesthetics of the information provided can lead a customer to choose your company over the competition.

In today's market there are a large number of platforms and tools for performing data visualizations. Obviously, not all tools have the same capabilities or achieve the same results, which is why it is so important to choose the right platform that suits the needs of the company and the capabilities of those in charge of creating reports, dashboards and visuals. The quality of our visualizations is closely linked to the capabilities of the tool we use to develop them. 

Zebra BI: The Best Visuals For Power BI and Excel

Zebra BI is especially designed to meet businesses' data visualization, reporting and data analysis needs. It acts as a provider of easy-to-understand, attractive and powerful visuals for Power BI and Excel and complements the capabilities of both tools with advanced reporting techniques that Power BI does not allow. Zebra BI visuals are benchmarked, and even Microsoft uses them for internal reporting.

At Bismart, as a Microsoft Power BI partner, we have been developing our technology and business solutions through Power BI for years and we always try to be up to date and show you the best ways to get the most out of it and explore new ways to use this tool. In fact, in a previous post in this blog we explained how to create the Google Analytics time filter in Power BI.

Recently, Bismart initiated a partnership with Zebra BI, including Zebra BI visuals in our reports, which allows us to create more advanced visualizations and greatly improve the design of our solutions.
