Abstract:

Conveying information is a critically important part of business consulting. This paper will focus on how data visualization provides additional insights and understanding to our clients. Each custom-designed graph example addresses a specific need of the projects/clients, whether it is a bar-plot or a map or some new form of graphic display. By showing patterns and comparisons, graphs help analysts explore the trends and relationships in the data, as well as help clients turn data into insights and make informed decisions.
