Seeing Is Believing

How do you make sense of information when the digital universe is doubling
in size every two years? There are many answers, none of which include
reading rows and rows of data, painstakingly combining information from
different sources, or having a select few use complex tools and processes to
find and distribute insights. A far better answer is visual analytics, which
gives anyone the chance to make sense of the digital universe through fast,
easy access to any data, from any source, on any device—enabling you to
easily see value, quickly combine data, and find and share insights no matter
where you are.

 Stunning, smart visualizations. Data Visualization Cloud Service displays the best
visualizations for your data automatically—all you have to do is drag and drop. As
you add new attributes and filters, the visualizations change to best reflect new data
and bring clarity to your investigation. You can also change visualizations at any
time, simply by clicking (no configuration required).
 Automatic highlighting. Related data is automatically connected, so selecting data
in one visual highlights correlated data in every other visual, immediately showing
patterns and revealing new insights.
 Guidance and search. Sometimes you know the data you’re working with, and
sometimes you don’t. Powerful search, guided navigation, and sophisticated filtering
work together intelligently to provide an easy, interactive path through your data,
helping you find exactly what you’re looking for.
 Everything connected. A unified user experience blurs the lines between dynamic
discovery, dashboarding, and presentation, creating a seamless and richly contextual
environment that keeps your exploration fast and fluid.
 Visual storytelling and sharing. It’s easy to capture insights as visual stories,
saving story points (snapshots of the analytic moment-in-time) and adding comments
to highlight key points and discoveries. Stories are live and can be securely shared
with anyone with permission; co-workers can click a link and be brought into the story,
build upon it, and share it in turn, enabling the rapid, dynamic collaboration that drives
improved decision-making and faster action.

Self-Service Data Discovery
Oracle Data Visualization Cloud Service eliminates the complexity typically associated
with blending and correlating data sets. Easy, automatic data blending allows you to
combine data from a variety of sources—Oracle and other SaaS applications, on-
premises systems, external sources and personal files—and immediately gain new
insights using visual analysis.
 Data loading. Loading data is as simple as browsing to a file and clicking to see a
preview. Data Visualization Cloud Service automatically identifies attributes as part of
the upload process and presents them in the guided navigation, so you can begin
analyzing right away.
 Mashup. Blending data is also a point-and-click process that includes automatically
inferring connections between data sets, which are displayed in an easy interface so
you can see how data is related and add or change connections as necessary.
