Best Practice
Makes perfect..
Best Practice #1




    Geocode your data
       (mapify it!)
| What do they do?
Getting the spatial level right


Geocoding is linking your data to a
geographic / spatial place
•Point
•Zip Code
•County
•State

What’s the right level for your data
Where can|IWhat do they do?
             get it




• Map Providers
• Govt. Web Sites
• Manually… from Google
Best Practice #2




 Use multiple layers for
     better insight
Why Stack| it on
               Mobile BI for consumers




Layers provide the ability to mix
and match various metrics to find
correlations and patterns
Best Practice #3


   Background maps
 provide context to your
  spatial data points or
        polygons
Services | Mobile BI for consumers

Google Maps, WMS Layers – see
terrain, cities, streets, population in
the context of your data
Best Practice #4


 Think beyond traditional
  maps and geography
Location is| not just BI for consumers
             Mobile traditional maps


Use images to provide
alternative mapping options:
•Campus map and student
numbers
•Human body for injury
analytics
•Warehouse floor plan for
stock levels
Best Practice #5


 Combine mapping with
other visualizations for a
 deeper understanding
Greater level of analysis consumers
          | Mobile BI for


Combine Location analysis with
traditional data analysis & visualization:
•Filtering
•Analytic Dashboards
Best Practice #6


  Let your location data
      drive you to the
  information you need.
Drill down to the depths consumers
           | Mobile BI for


        Slice and Dice, Drill through and
        Drill down to see the why behind
        the where
Best Practice #7


  Look for opportunities
  where no data exists
Where thing’s aren’t for consumers
          | Mobile BI


Seeing what’s not there is the big
opportunity:
•Where could I put new stores
•Should I change my marketing target
areas and channels
•What is my target demographic

Editor's Notes

  • #5 Location Intelligence is the capacity to organize and understand complex events through the use of geographic relationships inherent in all information. Yellowfin’s Location Intelligence combines traditional Business Intelligence with the addition of a spatial element to let you easily visualize your spatial and business data simultaneously.
  • #13 “ Yellowfin gives us the ability to use GIS data to determine where our sales and customers are coming from to detect new opportunities.” (Cosmetics Cubed IT Manager, Lloyd Shanks)
  • #22 DEMO Example Athlete Geo Point Agency Polygon Invoiced Amounts Change Colour Add GIS background
  • #25 Show Example 1 from dashboard. I can see sales Where are my athletes I can drill into the layers do see France has no-one.
  • #27 If I’m a skier where are my ski fields If I’m look after fishing supplies, where are the lakes and rivers.
  • #33 Drill Through in analysis tab Drill Through on Google Map.
