Business users are constantly seeking the best ways to understand the  data behind the data. If a monthly sales figure is low, what are the  reasons the sales team is underperforming? The most effective way to  help business users understand the data behind the data is by making it  visual for them. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12px\">Data  visualization has recently made its way into the mainstream by the way  of infographics, business intelligence dashboards and, in some cases,  statistical graphics. However, today data visualization comes in many  forms and more often than not there might be too much \u201cbling\u201d  incorporated into these data representations, leaving an audience with  nothing more than a pretty picture.
