SAN MATEO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Actuate Corporation (NASDAQ:BIRT), The BIRT Company™ and the leader in personalized analytics and insights, today announced its participation in an upcoming TDWI webinar called, “Making Data Beautiful for Business Users: Tips for Creating Rich, Visual and Actionable User Experiences.” Allen Bonde (@abonde), Actuate’s VP of Product Marketing and Innovation, and David Stodder (@dbstodder), TDWI’s Research Director for Business Intelligence, will share best practices and current technology trends. These trends support the creation of business intelligence (BI) and analytics applications that appeal to a broader community of users while delivering each a compelling and personalized experience.
Driven by investments in Big Data, mobile adoption and customer choice, providing embedded analytics and insights directly to customers has become a critical requirement for brands in competitive markets like banking and telecom. Data driven apps that deliver these insights must be visually “beautiful” to engage customers, connect with them emotionally, and allow them to interact with their personalized data to better inform critical decisions and actions.
The webinar will cover:
- Key success factors in creating rich, visual, and interactive user experiences with BI and analytics
- How data visualizations created using Actuate BIRT can deliver highly personalized – and portable – experiences regardless of role or location
- Why delivering a “beautiful” customer experience requires a visualization platform that delivers high-scale, “low-code” solutions that are key to business productivity and agility
- How organizations in diverse industries are successfully broadening the scope of BI and analytics for more users – both internal and external
