Mapping Software

Business mapping software was built specifically to meet business needs. Not only can inventory be tracked and managerial statements compiled, but businesses can effectively convey large quantities of information to consumers in a non-intimidating way.

Consider following examples:

Airlines continually use business mapping software in order to create data visualization that is user friendly and consumer interactive. Consumers can drill down through flight information as well as through seating information. With data visualization, created from business mapping software, airlines allow consumers to interact with airline over internet.

With respect to researching information from annual snowfall at your favorite ski resorts to average per capita PhD population in Kochi, India, interactive data visualization presents even complex levels of information in a digestible manner.

Think about what data visualization can do for businesses. Businesses already take advantage of mapping software to track multiple levels of consumer information, even to point of recognizing purchasing trends among middle-aged blue collar working men at a branch in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.

I have found that creating vision charts is extremely helpful, what I mean is creating a chart on paper similar to a flow chart or family tree (or whatever you are comfortable with). Begin by writing down a thought, and then start drawing branches from each area that is a new thought. As you view each area individually new thoughts will occur, and you can attach them as they occur to proper place in your vision Chart. This can sound confusing and I understand, however give it a try. Start in middle of a blank piece of paper with one idea that you right down, and then make a big circle around it. Now ask yourself what do you think about this idea, and write another thought with a bubble around it that attaches to first thought, and so on. This can be very soothing for conceptualizing complex thoughts. Now as you begin to develop your big idea, take these thoughts and remember that you have to immerse yourself into subject matter you are thinking about while visually charting your thoughts. If you never reach for sky, you will never fly!
