Data is the lifeblood of any modern organization.

“Data, I think, is one of the most powerful mechanisms for telling stories. I take a huge pile of data and I try to get it to tell stories.” – Steven Levitt, Co-author of Freakonomics

SharePoint is a MOUNTAIN of data. Lists and Libraries contain tons of metadata and pages can be used to tell your users stories.

However, what good is data that is stuck in disparate systems?!?! What value add does unanalyzed data sitting in a database or SharePoint list provide to a business? In the modern IT environment, having the data is not enough. Lines of businesses need to analyze the data, find areas for improvement and share it with employees that are responsible for improving the metrics.

By focusing an organization on its data and the insights it provides, you build your culture on the premise of continuous improvement. Knowing where you can improve your business is often the only difference between you and your competitor. In fact, whole software systems such as Tableau or Qlik are built around reporting data.

Infowise Ultimate Forms and the Data that Powers Your Business

Here at Infowise, we are excited to empower you to put your data to work for you. At the end of the day, so much of what Infowise does is focused around the power of data.

Yes, SharePoint is a mountain of data but Infowise gives you the Associated Items functionality that allows you to create relationships with this data, we give you the power to centralize your data with Smart Import Pro and we give you the ability to visualize this data with Smart Chart Pro.

Infowise has made it easier than ever to get all your data into one location and visualize the relationships between the data points. We did this by adding the ability to import data from an excel workbook in a SharePoint Document Library.

You should check out our step by step tutorial showing you how to set up Smart Import Pro to import from an Excel workbook.

Great, now we have our data!!!!

Wait, once again, unanalyzed data is about as useful as a screen door on a submarine. Data by itself is useless!

This is why we have added a second brand new tutorial explaining how to combine the Infowise Smart Filter Pro and Infowise Smart Chart Pro webparts to create a simple and elegant dynamic dashboard.

With everyone obsessed with data and analytics, sometimes we can lose site of the goal. Former CEO of Hewlett-Packard put it best when she said,

“The goal is to turn data into information, and information into insight.” – Carly Fiorina

In today’s world data is not sitting in just one space. It is usually in multiple sources from databases to lists, to spreadsheets. Infowise has made it easier than ever to get all your data into one location and visualize the relationships between the data points.

Now we can easily provide a customized interactive dashboard regardless of data source! SharePoint is a uniquely equipped platform to compile and visualize this data and Infowise has made it easier than ever.

SharePoint Forms are the main interface for entering data intro SharePoint lists and document libraries. They provide a gateway for introducing new collaborative data and also a way to augment existing information.
