Visual Evolution 2008 a success for Corda Technologies

Corda Technologies annual four-day Visual Evolution conference brought together executive dashboard and data visualisation users, developers, prospects and partners, along with industry leaders from around the globe, including Zavanti’s own Corda Developer, Jason Marshall.

Wayne Eckerson, author of “Performance Dashboards: Measuring, Monitoring, and Managing Your Business” was the keynote speaker for the event. Wayne is also the Director of Education and Research for The Data Warehousing Institute (TDWI). Other industry expert speakers included Ron Powell, Co-founder of The Business Intelligence Network, and Peter Traynor, Editor in Chief, Dashboard Insight.

Corda’s expert Dashboard Technologists delivered presentations on CenterView™, PopChart®, OptiMap™ and Highwire™, giving best practices for all levels of users and developers. In addition, participants attended sessions to learn how to create attractive dashboards, extend the dashboard interface, transform data from data funnels, and to explore best practices in choosing Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). They also participated in round table discussions, where they had the opportunity to learn from other users and developers, as well as case studies from leading industry executives.

The Data Visualisation Lounge was a new feature this year, here attendees could practice the tips and tricks learned at the conference, see how other customers are visualising business intelligence, or work on their own dashboard projects - with the help of expert Dashboard Technologists from Corda.

“Visual Evolution continues to be a terrific success as our signature annual event,” said John Purvis, CEO and president of Corda. “The world’s best minds in data visualisation, business performance management, and performance dashboards gather together to learn about and successively refine what it means to truly manage performance.”
