Challenge
Providing innovative solutions that allow rapid interpretation of large amounts of data in order to make decision-making more effective is the main challenge that the customer finds himself facing.
In this specific case, the need is to structure a tool for analyzing the performance of shares based on a monitoring and aggregation system of a considerable amount of information from various sources.
The particular focus requested by the customer is on an efficient and customized data visualization system that allows an effective interpretation of trends, outliers and patterns.
Solution

Graph, representation of relations
-
Tag Cloud, distribution by keyword
Each representation has been made interactive and configurable.
The information present in the database has been characterized on different parameters such as category and company and can be filtered through a search engine and tree representation.
A notification and data sharing system via email has also been integrated.
