Visual insight

Visual insight provides the user with the ability to create quick, interactive dashboards. It allows the user to import data from several different sources, manipulate the data, and apply visualization techniques as per business needs. Basically, a quick dashboard is like a document, but the process of creating this dashboard is easier and faster.
