Gain the insights you need to make critical decisions


Welcome to the world of Business Intelligence 2.0—where you turn raw data into strategic insight, in your browser, in real time. With Visual Fusion, everyone in your organization can explore, manipulate, query, graph, and combine data for a more complete picture of any situation.

Visual Fusion applications bring together data from your internal data stores and external sources and put it all in the context of geography, time, and analytics. For example, view sales data in the context of geography and demographics, or product demand in the context of global events. Try out scenarios and share the results with other.

By employing a common context—a map and timeline—you can see and share insights that would otherwise be buried in spreadsheets and reports.

Integrate business intelligence tools

In addition to the map and timeline, your apps can incorporate familiar analysis tools like charts and graphs. Right out of the box you can visualize your customers across location, time, and a revenue graph all in the same, interactive interface. You can also integrate Excel, Performance Point, SQL Server Analysis Services, or other third-party components to help everyone make better, data-driven decisions.

Provide business intelligence for everyone

Visual Fusion's easy-to-use interface lets people navigate information in a natural, intuitive way, without special training or expertise. And with tools like the App Hub and Composer, anyone can create applications to apply business intelligence to important questions. True self service business intelligence.
