IBM has been steadily acquiring firms to be a player in the analytics space..SPSS and recently Netezza. Anyone know if IBM has a cohesive strategy around all these acquisitions? Here is what has been brewing in IBM research for quite sometime now http://manyeyes.alphaworks.ibm.com/manyeyes/visualizations . Finally there is tool out there that visualizes data with ease and consolidates some of the widgets. What is interesting about the tool is its free to the public....for your viewing pleasure... http://vimeo.com/14777910 ...the future is here and now! Definitely enhances human experience with analytics especially dashboards!!
