Flash Forward


I thought I’d write a post for all those data visualization diehards out there. Check out Flashforward, Adobe’s user conference that caters to advertisers, animators, artists, designers, developers, educators, entrepreneurs, game designers, hackers, storytellers, strategists, students. In addition to the new techie ways of using flash the conference will also speak to data visualization, database integration, and mashups.

What does this have to do with BI and the performance management space? It’s all about the ways we interact with and interpret data. Advances in technologies like flash impact the ways we view and interact with information. Flash technology is continually advancing and becoming a part of BI tools, flash is often used within dashboards to display widgets and gadgets. As I always say, if all else fails, whatever you do make it flashy.
