Viewers oftentimes glance over the visuals and make decisions without having all the facts. Additionally, dashboard viewers across the enterprise are not always consistent in their ability to understand and interpret the information that's being presented, which can be risky. According to Gartner, "BI platforms have made significant advances by visualizing data in interactive dashboards...however, visualizations often obscure what is significant in the data, and many users lack the ability to fully interpret statistically significant visual-based insights. With the addition of NLG, augmented analytics platforms automatically present a written or spoken context-based narrative or explanation of findings in the data. Alongside the visualization, this informs the user about what is most important for them to act on the data." Improved decision-making with easier-to-understand dashboards With Arria for Power BI, dashboard users have the best of both worlds--visuals supported by data explanations in natural language. Arria's intelligent narratives deliver clear, written summaries of data insights to viewers of the dashboards throughout the organization. Critical insights contained within the data are now instantly discovered, analyzed and communicated in natural language (on demand in near real-time)--resulting in immediate data understanding and speed to actioning key insights. Viewers no longer have to try to figure out the story the graphs, charts and tables are trying to communicate. Arria's NLG technology uniquely combines advanced analytics with industry-leading linguistics to instantly deliver the most intelligent narratives available, out-of-the-box, with no coding required. Users choose the narrative length, from top line summaries to narratives that drill-down to explain "what, why and what next."
