Yankee Upgrades Data Visualization Platform

US-based technology research firm Yankee Group has added new capabilities to its online data visualization platform, including the ability to browse through popular metrics in an index format.

Launched in April, the platform gives clients access to market intelligence, corporate strategy, marketing and product management data on the mobile and connectivity sectors, via Yankee's Forecast and Monitor products. The Forecasts look five years into the future, while the Monitors track the current financial and product activities for more than 100 companies worldwide.

Using the platform, search results can be added to a worksheet, used to create custom graphics, and shared with colleagues.

As well as the new index format, the upgrade also gives clients more control over the creation of custom charts and graphs that can be shared with colleagues, or downloaded as .ppt, .jpg or .xls files.

Yankee Group's Chief Research Officer Gigi Wang comments: 'We're helping clients get greater value and usability from our Forecasts and Monitors by giving them a wealth of data through interactive charts and graphs. We're excited by the momentum and demand we're seeing for this innovative new platform.'
