Most enterprise software tools focus on collecting, aggregating and slicing/dicing data - they have not focused on presenting information in a compelling and usable manner. As a result, many of these tools obscure problems more than they help to clarify. "The business problems that people address on a daily basis are complex and multidimensional mul·ti·di·men·sion·al adj. Of, relating to, or having several dimensions. mul ti·di·men ," states Tim Bray Tim Bray (full name: Timothy William Bray, * May 21 1955 , founder and CTO (Chief Technical Officer) The executive responsible for the technical direction of an organization.

The improvements in Visual Net 4.0 are aimed at changing the user focus from dealing with the complexities of constructing complex queries to dealing with key business issues. Specifically: -- The VN maps display all the complexities inherent in real business issues, showing multiple dimensions of both macro and micro data, unlike other enterprise tools that try to present complex business problems boiled down to one-dimensional snapshots. This enables users to have a complete view of their business problems. -- Users are presented with better/more relevant information. The VN interface is designed to provide the maximum amount of relevant content to users. Business users do not need to access multiple reports, screens, graphics etc to collect the information required to solve problems. Visual Net screens contain 60-80% relevant content compared to less than 25% for most other enterprise tools. -- Key issues 'rise to the top' so they can be acted upon quickly before they become critical problems. Once a problem is identified, users can easily drill down to investigate and gather more details- "to clarify, add detail." -- Critical business information is easily made available to executives and business users, instead of a small set of 'power users'. Users do not need to know how to construct complex queries or generate reports. -- Visual Net 4.0 has built in more interactivity, allowing users at all levels of the organization to manipulate and filter data to customize the information on the maps, giving users more flexibility in what they see. -- Visual Net is now equally adept at visualizing visualizing, v 1., holding an image in one's mind. 2., forming an image of a goal or destination in one's mind before undertaking it, so as to facilitate success. three types of information: numeric numeric see numerical. numeric cluster see ten-key pad. , textual and geographic - either individually or in combination.
