Why Visual Data Reports Are So Important (2021)

Publication date: 13 September 2021

Visual data reports have become an essential component of business intelligence. Recently, TDWI conducted a survey, and 74% of respondents credit data visualization for a “very high” or “high” increase in business user insights.

The greatest advantage of using visual data reports is that business users of all levels can manipulate the visual analytics dashboards fast and easily. In other words, all employees are able to find the information they need when they need it.

What would the evidence of that be, you might be asking?

  • Patterns, trends, and outliers are communicated significantly more quickly using graphical representations of data than with tables of numbers and text. 
  • Users can discover flaws and problems that require attention at a glance and take appropriate action via visualization. 
  • Trends and issues are concealed beneath dizzying arrays of data and text in text-based reports and spreadsheets. 

Data visualization is becoming more common in business environments as a result of its ability to communicate. In other words, visual reports are paving the way for the growth of modern enterprises, and we’re still only at the beginning.

Here are three more reasons why visual data reports are so important and how they can improve any company’s performance.

Last but not least, the beauty of using visual data reporting tools is that they don’t require considerable installation or training. Without much help from IT, multiple departments can access data at the same time.
