Description
Data Visualization and GIS Solutions
Research either data visualization software or GIS software available to businesses. In a paper, summarize the range of solutions available, with examples of how these might be utilized. Then identify an organization that has adopted one of these software solutions. Briefly describe the organization, and then answer these questions:
- What technology (or technologies) is the organization using?
- Which business units utilize the data presented by the technology?
- What does the technology provide to the business? What benefits does it offer and/or what problems does it solve?
- Explain the present and future impacts of such a technology from a business perspective.
- Identify areas in which the business might expand or improve upon using the technology. Explain what they could do and why they should do it.
Direction:
- Your well-written report should be 4-5 pages in length.
- Use academic writing standards and APA style guidelines
- At least 2-4 references, and cite inside the text.

Introduction
Data visualization is used in understanding the significance of data after it has
been placed in visual context. When using text-based data, it is hard to detect the patterns,
correlations, and trends but with visualization, it is easier to monitor the changes in
information. The visualization data is presented in different ways such as Infogrames,
fever charts, geographic maps, heat maps, pie charts, dial gauges, and geographic maps.
The data collected is then analyzed and used in decision making and establishing
improvements that need to be conducted. Wal-Mart is one of the recognized business
which uses data visualization in their operations. Wal-Mart is one largest retailed in the
United States, and it gets lots of customers. Through data visualization, the business is
able to determine the trends of the customers and how to satisfy them. The following
work will establish the technologies, business units, and benefits of data visualization at
Wal-Mart.
Technologies in the Organization
Wal-Mart uses various technologies in data visualization. Sisense is one of the
software technologies, and it is a business intelligence platform which is used in
