What is Visual Net?
Visual Net is business analytics software that allows all business users - not just power users and analysts - to explore and distill vast amounts of data, shifting their focus away from analysis to insight and action. Visual Net combines reporting, query & analysis, and performance management functionality to provide a complete business intelligence application.
Visual Net can work with data from multiple sources, formats and environments. Deployments typically take 4-8 weeks, not months.
Can I use Visual Net if I have already deployed other business intelligence solutions?
Absolutely, and Visual Net can help you get more from these investments.
While Visual Net is a complete stand-alone business analytics software application, it is complementary to most existing business intelligence and business performance management tools, and can integrate easily with them. Analyst research shows the majority of business software deployments do not always achieve their expected return on investment. The implementation of Visual Net can maximize the ROI of existing business intelligence and ERP tools by enabling business users to explore the identified issues and understand the root causes of performance, making the information actionable in a more timely and usable way.
What is Visual Net's Return on Investment?

How is Visual Net deployed and customized?
Deployments typically take 4-8 weeks, depending on customer requirements and data sources. Visual Net is lightweight, easy to deploy, and easy to integrate.
-
Decide on what information you'd like to provide through Visual Net, to meet your business needs and those of your users. There are two key aspects to this: selecting the metrics and KPIs to display, and identifying the criteria by which users will be able to drill down and search the data. For example, you may have a set of key profitability metrics which you'd like to view by region and by product. Antarctica will work with you to answer these questions.
-
Decide how to present this information within Visual Net. VN can visualize your metrics in many ways - for example, using size, color, position, and shape. The look and feel of the Visual Net interface is also highly customizable.
-
Send us an extract of the information to be mapped. You can use formats including CSV, tab-delimited, or XML; or talk directly to our SQL database.
-
Your data is visualized and ready for review. People are often surprised by what their data looks like, and it's difficult to predict the right visualization the first time. Visual Net is highly configurable from both an administrator and end user standpoint. Calculations and appearance can be quickly adjusted until you achieve the right presentation for your data.
On what operating systems does Visual Net run?
Visual Net runs under the Linux operating system. Visual Net's user interface is implemented as a module that runs with the Apache web server.
