About Us
The Problem
World is facing an unprecedented information explosion
News, data, text, images,structured and unstructured data
Every organization or person arebecoming an information business.
Much work on the back-end & pipe but limited investment on the front-end
We are collecting and disseminating News at a greater rate
than our ability to Consume it!
Simply Put…
Manage, customize and aggregate your news flow…
…then stream it to your business users.
The Solution… get Visual !
Why Visual ?
Visual Processing & the Brain"Because half of the human brain is devoted directly or indirectly to vision, understanding the process of vision provides clues to understanding fundamental operations in the brain."
--Professor Mriganka Sur of MIT's Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences
•35 different areas in the brain that have been identified as being primarily or totally involved with the processing of visual information•All lobes of the cerebral cortex are involved in the processing of visual information •More area of the brain dedicated to vision than to all the other sense modalities combined
--Robert B. Sanet, O.D., F.C.O.V.D; IV International Congress of Behavioral Optometry

• Display large amounts of row data as groups of rectangles• Rectangles can be arranged, sized, and colored graphically to reveal underlying patterns, trends , biases• Treemaps allow users to easily recognize complicated data relationships
Treemaps have 3 key elements: 1. Aggre ga tion 2. Size 3. Color
