10 Reasons to Adopt Data Visualization

There is more to bar charts than meets the eye with data visualization. Bar charts is just one example of many visual tools which can be used to convey information in the most effective way. Bar charts, bar graphs, pie charts, or other charts and graphs are one of the most common methods of displaying information of various kinds. Everyone from children to adults use them in school, study, and business. Data visualization works with bar charts to create informational displays to reach virtually any kind of audience.

2. Interactive Map

In addition to bar charts, other informational tools become interactive with data visualization. An interactive map allows information to be displayed on various levels by clicking on the part of the map about which one may want more information. This is called drilling down. The interactive map is a method of data visualization used by many business, government, and community programs. Many airlines proved an interactive map of the plane interior so that travelers can choose their own seating. Many governments or communities create interactive maps of their countries, states, and cities. To learn more about a specific area, all on has to do is click on it.Information interacts with a users needs.

3. Reporting Tool

This article has already covered examples of how data visualization conveys information to various types of users for travel or education, but data visualization can also be used as a reporting tool. Imagine making a presentation for school or business come alive with aninteractive map or bar charts. Information is presented in a helpful and meaningful way, often simplifying complex levels of information to become digestible to those to whom the presentation is given.

4. Convert HTML to PDF

A presentation is one thing, a handout or file copy is another. By far, one of the biggest challenges with data visualization in the past has been printing HTMLinformation without getting it cut off on one of the margins. In the past HTML format did not automatically format itself for computer printout. Data visualization software can create PDF images of HTML displays for others to follow during the presentation or to file after.

5. Data Mapping

Research, geographical data, and other information can be effectively conveyed using data mapping. Data visualization provides a method for mapping data in a simple display, assisting the presenter in his or her ability to make important data understandable.

6. Business Mapping

Sometimes data mapping involves visual diagrams of business departments. Data visualization helps with business mapping. One example of business mapping is the creation of a department map for the shipping department of a business. Real-timeinformation is available for inventory management and location, including inbound and outbound shipping information. Everything going on in the warehouse is visualized on a computer screen.

7. Executive Dashboard

Though information can be compiled into state of the art data visualization, the information still needs to be managed somehow. Data visualization would be incomplete without an executive dashboard with which executives can customize and manage all data visualization displays and reports.

8. Flash Graphs

Using flash technology, information can also be displayed in a state of the art format. Dashboards and data visualization displays are unencumbered by too much information all smattered on the charts and graphs. Flash chart, flash graphs, and flash maps display only what one needs when one needs it by responding to a mouse or cursor moving over it. As the mouse finds its target,information and options are immediately displayed. Web site are presented in a tidy and manageable way.

9..Net Technology

.Net technology, including .net graphs, .net charts, and .net maps is internet technology interfacing other pages on the internet with anchored text on a report or other data visualization display. In addition to .net, perl graphs, perl charts, and perl maps, as well as coldfusion charts, coldfusion graphs, and coldfusion maps, are useful tools employed as part of data visualization. These technologies can also be used in .net PDF attachments.

10. 508 Compliance

Data visualization has also made itself accessible to those with disabilities complying with section 508 which requires government and publicinformation to be viewable by those with disabilities. Data visualization is still capable of catering to the needs of its users.

Business, communities, and educational programs throughout the country are adopting data visualization to serve the need of the Information Age. Information is now available at a new level of simplicity, even at the most detailed and complex levels.

5 Ways to Survive in a New Job

oreeee.... akhirnya dapat pekerjaan baru!

Eits tunggu dulu....meski gembira dapat pekerjaan baru, tapi, siapkah anda untuk bersaing dan bertahan di lingkungan kantor baru?

Meskipun jajaran pimpinan alias Boss baru akan memberikan toleransi pada karyawan baru untuk adaptasi, banyak hal yang perlu kamu pelajari di tempat baru, agar tidak tersandung masalah.

Yaa.. namanya juga kantor baru, semuanya juga serba baru. Seperti mengingat nama rekan-rekan kerja baru, atasan baru, hingga peraturan perusahaan. Dari sejumlah survei yang pernah dilakukan oleh para manajer perekrutan pada Robert Half International, ada dua kesalahan utama yang kerap dilakukan karyawan baru.

Pertama, kegagalan untuk menyesuaikan diri dengan budaya perusahaan dan kedua, malu bertanya.

Nah, agar mampu beradaptasi di tempat kerja baru, cermati lima langkah berikut ini:

* Menghargai budaya perusahaan.

Ikuti budaya dan aturan yang diterapkan tempat kerja yang baru. Misalnya, jangan melanggar jika ada kewajiban mengenakan seragam kantor.

Jangan mentang-mentang abru, lantas tidak mau mengenakan seragam.

* Open Mind.

Buka mata dan pikiran Kamu.

Pada tahap awal bekerja, usahkan untuk membuka diri. Rebut kepercayaan dan respek dari rekan satu tim.

* Pelajari Seksama Tugas Utama Kamu.

Diskusi dengan atasan, soal tugas utama dan prioritas yang harus dikalukan. Cari tahu juga soal prosedur kerja, dan evaluasi kerja.

* Jangan Malu Bertanya.

Jika Anda menemui masalah, jangan pernah malu bertanya. Bisa tanya kepada atasan langsung atau rekan kerja yang lebih senior.

* Jangan Segan Minta penilaian.

Memang Evaluasi resmi baru akan dilakukan beberapa bulan kemudian, tapi tak ada salahnya kamu meminta atasan untuk memberikan penilaian pada bulan pertama, secara informal.

Diskusikan apa yang kurang dari kinerja kamu dan apa solusinya.

Jika 5 langkah ini kamu terapkan, dijamin kamu bisa berkembang di tempat baru dan kamu lebih mengenali tempat barumu. (shd)

Susah nyari Kacung seperti Saya, biar pun diluaran "Buanyak Sekali"

Saya bangga dengan diri saya ketika saya hanya sebagai "kacung" biasa. Paling tidak gw merasa di perlukan dalam sebuah rencana besar si bos. Tanpa si "kacung" si bos 'agak sedikit repot' dengan planning planning yang dia punya, si "kacung" punya andil dalam exist-nya si bos.

Berawal dari gw mo resign dari tempat kerjaan saya, menuju tempat baru yang notaben nya di tempat baru adalah tempat bekas anak buahnya si bos, yang level nya jauh dengan saya(dia Manager, gw staf biasa), sedikit hambatan dalam mengajukan form resign. Gw pengen langsung ngadap atasan gw langsung( bawahannya si bos (sudah level manager)), gw di cut ma si bos, gw langsung d panggil ma si bos, ditanya "kenapa kamu mo resign? ". Dengan berbagai alasan, keluarlah kata kata sakti gw, alasan A, alasan B, hingga alasan ZZZ (bukan tidur neh..). Si bos pun mematahkan alasan saya itu. apa boleh baut, saya tak punya alasan lain lagi untuk beradu argumen sama si bos.

Tapi, keputusan kan ada d tangan gw, dan itu adalah hak gw. biar pun itu, gw tau maksudnya si bos baek ma gw. Beberapa Point yang gw kalah argumen ma si BOS,

1. Gw masih setengah mateng( kata si BOS & itu bener). Tapi bukan berarti gw gak bisa mateng tanpa si BOS :D, tentunya dengan doa si BOS
   
2. Gw lagi On the middle something. ini masalahnya di tanggung jawab. gw kalah telak kalo d point ini. jadi gw gak bisa kasih argumen banyak.... gw lagi d tengah project & kabur begitu saja :(, hati kecilku berkata itu tak bagus...
3. Gw pengen nyari pengalaman (suasana) baru. nah.. di point ini gw menang.. si BOS kalah.. waakakkak (akhirnya si bos kalah). score 2:1 (gw masih kalah),
   
4. xxx....
   

setelah gw timang timang, telepon sana telepon sini, akhirnya gw putusin tetap ngambil d tempat yang baru dengan segala kekurangan yang gw miliki.

bagaimana dengan anda jika di posisi saya?

Gw dah SIGN

hm... akhirnya gw agreement kontrak dengan tempat pekerjaan yang baru, dimana? tar jaga lu tau.
Hampir setengah tahun gw hunting, masuk gedung, keluar gedung, masuk ruko, keluar ruko, alhasil gw dapat yang d gedung (anak gedongan gitu loch....). kalo gw mo masuk-keluar gedung/ ruko. biasanya gw libur kerja dengan alasan sakit, ke bank lah dsb.. Teman2 gw pasti ngomong, u interview dimana bukan "sakit apa"? ha.. ha.. ha....

sekarang tinggal ngajuin cuti, & setelah lebaran (nudah2 han, kalo cuti d approved) gw gak masuk lagi d kantor lama karena d kantor baru per tanggal 1 oktober gw harus join....

selamat menikmati suasana baru, tantangan baru.... yang pasti pertama- gw jadi anak yang penurut, pendiam, dan beberapa saat kemudian, gw jadi anak yang...... BANCRIT... ha.. ha.. ha...


thanks for semua d kantor lama, friendship never die..
