"We wanted best of breed generic tools that could be used on any platform and any data source," explains John Skinner, project leader for the NID. "They needed to be robust and easy to use to enable analysts to concentrate on evaluating and interpreting the output rather than on working the software. CorVu was shortlisted on this basis and our analysts, who use the software, chose the software for its user friendliness, flexibility and functionality." Analysts are sent requests to examine data, for example, to look for inconsistencies in VAT returns that may suggest avoidance, or to analyze the impact of a policy on a sector in the community. "CorVu has become second nature to us," says analyst, Stuart Green Stuart Green (born 15 June 1981 in Whitehaven) is an English professional footballer currently playing for Crystal Palace. He had previously played for Hull City and at the time of leaving was their longest serving player, arriving on a season long loan from Newcastle . "We can ask questions of a dataset and get the answers back in seconds in a clear, useable format." What would have taken days to achieve now takes minutes using CorVu. "CorVu's CorBusiness' quick reports is popular with the analysts," claims Stuart, "It allows us to summarize gigabytes of data with a clear view - as does Graphical Analysis. They both let us drill down through the layers of data to show us proof of the results." The analysts can quickly build a comprehensive picture of the data to provide a clear understanding of the dataset, confirm or contradict existing perceptions and validate hypothesis. This first-level analysis also tests the data for suitability for further specialist analysis.
