Abstract

This research paper, discusses the different data visualization tools that are implemented for Business Intelligence by different organizations for the purpose of business analysis. Even though all tools are basically used for the same purpose, that is, data visualization, exploration and analysis, but each tool are very different from the other. Here we draw comparisons between all the tools and see that which tool proves to be most efficient and most effective in fulfilling the user demands. A case study on a project university analysis application is also discussed using the business intelligence and data visualization tool Qlikview. Hypothetical data of the last 5 years are used to analyze the placement record of both the universities. At the end of the case study a comparative analysis is shown in between two universities and analyze the performance of both the universities.
