I have the pleasure to brief you on our Data Visualization software. "Trend Compass". TC is a new concept in viewing statistics & trends in an animated way. by displaying in one chart 5 axis (X, Y, Time, Bubble size & Bubble. color) instead of just the traditional X and Y axis. Discover trends hidden in spreadsheets. It could be used in analysis, research, presentation etc. In different business sectors, to name a few we. have Deutsche Bank, NBC Universal, RIM, Vanguard Institutional. Investor, Ipsos, Princeton University as our clients.
