Over the past several weeks, the term DataOps has reverberated throughout the walls of Hitachi Vantara offices around the world and soon it will take the spotlight at NEXT 2019, the world’s first smart conference. We’ve defined DataOps and how its changing the game by putting the right data into the hands of teams, when and where they need it most. We’ve also talked about Hitachi Vantara’s DataOps journey, Project Champagne.
In this blog post I’m going to write about a famous piece in visualization history. How can we prove that a visualization is more worth than just looking at the data? That’s a question Francis Anscombe probably asked himself when he back in 1973 constructed the dataset that became known as Anscombe's quartet. A dataset he could use to show statisticians how wrong they were thinking that “numerical calculations are exact, but graphs are rough."

We've got a brand new mobile application coming now out and lots of people have been asking me what’s in it. To be honest, it's much easier to tell you what's not in it - and that’s dashboards and reports. I can hear you saying, ‘How can an analytics vendor have a mobile app with no dashboards or reports?’ But the truth is no one really uses a mobile app to view dashboards or reports. It's the wrong format for looking at a clunky dashboard or detailed report.
