Commercial visualization solutions
Statistics Worldwide was setup to applaud noncommercial initiatives. And that is why we focus on free products. However, not paying any attention to entrepreneurs developing commercial solutions would not do justice to all the creativity they are offering. For that reason we have devoted this web page to commercial solutions. Our selection of commercial products is far from complete momentarily. So this page will grow the coming weeks.
The entrepreneurs responsible for the products that are set in the spotlight are momentarily not paying us any compensation. We will offer them the possibility of becoming an official supporter of Statistics Worldwide by paying an annual contribution that can help us to further improve our online information services.
The products promoted are all stressing the importance of good visualizations for a proper evaluation of business results. We would like to stress that these products are no less interesting for research organizations and also statistical offices to help them disseminate information in a very professional way.

Trend Compass is data visualization software using animated motion charts. It is similar to a well known Google Widget and Hans Rosling's Trendalyzer software using animated charts. Working with these charts is a new trend in data visualization. Motion Charts add a new variable which we can call "T" or Time, which makes the chart tell an enjoyable story of the data.
Unlike the Google solutions Trend Compass allows the company data to stay inside the firewall, it also doesn't require any opening of Google during a presentation, and it looks more flexible. This does mean that it is likely to be more suitable for statistical offices to work with this product than with the Google solutions that are also powerful but less controleable. Google can change the looks of its services without having to communicate with its free users. For many statistical offices this is not an acceptable practise. Trend Compass comes with a free downloadable trial version. It has a feature to export EXE, PPS, HTML and AVI files. The latter giving the possibility of recording Audio/Video for the charts created.
Epic Systems is the company in Egypt behind Trend Compass. It claims to be an independent Information Technology services Company that provides innovative IT business and technology solutions to clients around the world.
