		Visualizations Help Simplify Complex Data
		The Pro BI solution uses sophisticated visual reports ("visualizations") to communicate complex business data quickly and intuitively. The display measures from multiple cubes simultaneously in an executive dashboard format using easy-to-read charts and graphs. When people view several reports at once, they can see how information correlates and make better decisions. Dashboard views, instant-impact visuals, aggregate displays, interactive exploration, flexible chart types allow for fully customizable displays with many options for style, color and layout.
