A consolidated visual representation of IT resources, corporate assets, and business process information can enable an organization to reduce risk, increase its ability to adapt to market and technology changes, and reduce investments in duplicative efforts. With corporate computing environments spanning many geographies and components, documenting the environment, including the business processes that are supported by IT, maintaining information about the environment, and then locating information to improve IT and business decisions can be daunting, time-consuming, and prone to error.
It is easy to store enterprise information in spreadsheets, manuals and other documents, but it is not easy to understand information well when depicted that way. Databases are great places to store information, but they are not the best environment for viewing data. And while conventional drawing or diagramming tools allow you to get information from graphics, they are not connected to the raw data they try to reflect. The result - a disconnect between the information you need and the form in which you need to see it.
netViz presents complicated data graphically. A netViz diagram actually represents graphical reflections of object and relationship information in a database. netViz allows you to view graphics while maintaining a close relationship to your underlying data. Furthermore, netViz can be used as the front-end to the underlying data - making changes and updating the data with the use of netViz diagrams.
netViz Desktop is a powerful solution for data-rich, multi-layered, and data driven documentation of IT and business systems. The desktop product gives you a full range of options for visualizing complex data in 2-D and 3-D graphical displays. With an ability to depict any complex system and import information from your existing databases and spreadsheets, netViz Desktop is the perfect tool for getting a handle on your IT or business data.
To create an accurate and useful top-down representation of a system, you need do to more than draw simple diagrams; you need to show multi-level hierarchies, the existence and character of the relationships between objects, the requirements or specifications associated with each system component, and more. In short, you need to build a data-rich model in an easy-understood visual. Because such systems are constantly changing, you also need the ability to make modifications and have the changes propagate automatically throughout the model. The best way to achieve this is to integrate the various existing data that are generated from various sources, into a single consolidated visual.
netViz was designed from the ground up to permit users to create dynamic, data-filled diagrams of complex information systems. netViz bridges the gap between data storage and data display – when you see a netViz diagram, you are actually looking at graphical reflections of object and relationship information in a database.
netViz allows you to view graphics while maintaining a close relationship to your underlying data. netViz is the perfect tool to visualize existing database and spreadsheet information, to model complex systems, or to create dynamic diagrams of networks, processes, workflows or conceptual models.
