Our software products team researches, selects and implements best-in-class data visualisation tools. We take tool selection seriously, and have explored and evaluated tens of applications, plug-ins, components and utilities in our search to find the most productive, creative and expressive ways to deliver effective visual analysis.

All of the tools we recommend to our clients are used by us in our consulting work, training courses and as part of the managed services we deliver to customers. We only recommend and resell those applications which enable the best visual analytics, and the greatest return on investment for our customers.

There is some overlap in capability across all of our recommended tools, but enough difference to keep a portfolio which addresses the fullest set of requirements. No one tool is perfect - some suit one application, or client, better than others. As we gain a more detailed understanding of your requirements, your organisation and your people we can guide you in your choices.

We are often asked which of the three tools is "best", and the honest answer is "none"; they all provide a powerful environment for interactive visualisation. There are, of course, many differences and similarities, and to help you start to profile the three we have put together a Product Comparison guide which aims to offer a simple starting point for your research. We do, however, encourage you to contact us to discuss your organisation, audience, IT infrastructure, budget etc. so that we can help you make the most informed decision.
