Visual Insight or VI is a new technology intended to empower business users and give them the ability to analyze and explore data without the intervention of IT people. It allows them to manipulate grids, graphs, and advanced visualizations and to see immediate results without the need to go back and forth between design and run mode.

The aim of this technology is to change the classic data reporting workflow that involves asking the IT group for data, manual extraction, spreadsheet distributions, and other sometimes non-standard practices.

VI and In-Memory cubes are intended to offer an easy, fast, reliable mechanism to manipulate large datasets, create interactive visualizations, and distribute them.
