Abstract:
Today, it is increasingly important for companies to evaluate data and use the information contained. In practice, this is however a great challenge, especially for domain users that lack the necessary technical knowledge. However, analyses prefabricated by technical experts do not provide the necessary flexibility and are oftentimes only implemented by the IT department if there is sufficient demand. Concepts like Visual Analytics or Self-Service Business Intelligence involve the user in the analysis process and try to reduce the technical requirements. However, these approaches either only cover specific application areas or they do not consider the entire analysis process. In this paper, we present an extended Visual Analytics process, which puts the user at the center of the analysis. Based on a use case scenario, requirements for this process are determined and, later on, a possible application for this scenario is discussed that emphasizes the benefits of our approach.
