City Fios understand that the key to great data visualisation is great underlying data and data structures. FIOS provides us with this and we then get to enjoy ourselves building varied data visualisation tools for clients.

So how do we do this?

Firstly we divide the mechanisms as follows:

  • Push data – It may sound old fashioned but we believe there will probably always be a requirement in Investment Banks for the medium of predefined reports pushed out to a variety of users on a daily, weekly, monthly basis. It caters well for data views that management wish to customise for their teams…and/or for users who are less comfortable with data mining. We are happy to work with our client’s chosen push reporting tools.
  • Pull data – This caters for users who want to see pre-defined views of the data….but then interrogate this data to produce their own analysis and interpretation. For Pull data we use tools such as Qlikview and Tableau in conjunction with our own web based data visualisation apps.The best way to illustrate what we mean by both of these is to show you a few examples…
